Real Wedding Alicia and Leonard@Safety Harbor Resort and Spa
Alicia and Leonard had the most beautiful weather for their wedding at the Safety Harbor Resort and Spa! They tied the knot in front of their family and friends ad their most special wedding party. Their ring bearer was Jack their dog who was just perfect!!! The bride and groom exchanged very personal vows and shared a blended sand and sand dollar ritual. The bride was given in marriage by her dad, and her deceased mom was remembered with a special cameo that was embedded in the brides bouquet. The colors were stunning and the music provided by Chuck Weirich was perfect! The staff of the Safety Harbor Spa was outstanding and they provided great appetizers and a fabulous reception for Alicia and Leonard. The couple had a magnificent day thanks to all involved. Congratulations and best wishes for a very long, healthy, and
prosperous life!!!! 
Professionals I enjoyed working with on this wedding:

Palm Harbor - Going to the Chapel....and we're gonna get married!!
Many times I speak to couples who want to get married in a church, but they may not be affiliated with a particular denomination. I am so happy to be able to help them locate a beautiful chapel that will have a gorgeous setting, ample seating and parking, and will be a glorious location for their wedding. Two such locations that I particularly thing are beautiful are the Rheba Sutton White Chapel in Palm Harbor and the Andrews Memorial Chapel in Dunedin, Florida.
The Rheba Sutton White Chapel is located on Georgia Avenue in the quaint town of Palm Harbor, Florida, located close to the Gulf of Mexico. It is a non-denominational, secular chapel, with a seating capacity for guests of 150 and has elegant vintage stained glass windows, and hardwood flooring. The chapel is also perfect for baptisms, baby blessings, renewal of vows, and memorial services.
In addition, the Harbor Hall is available for the reception. There is ample parking and is a wonderful location to have your entire event in one place for the convenience of everyone.
You can have a look at their website at http://www.thepalmharborwhitechapel.com/ or give Janice a call at 727-787-4700.
Another beautiful chapel is the Andrews Memorial Chapel located on San Matteo Drive in Dunedin, Florida. This chapel has the distinguished honor of being listed in the United States Registry of Historic Places. 
The Chapel is graced with elegant Victorian architecture and has a fascinating history behind it.
Their website will give you more detail, have a look at http://www.andrewsmemorialchapel.com/ or you can call Linda at 727-529-9233 or email her at dunhist@compuserve.com
Both Chapels are elegant and will provide the perfect setting for your wedding ceremony.

Creative Photography
I love photography, and enjoy it when I meet other photographers that share a passion and love for beautiful pictures. Recently, I had the opportunity to meet and work with Britt McAllister. He was asked by a small child at the event, "why do you take pictures?", I heard his answer. He said the following....
You see, the importance and necessity of the photograph was seared into my soul at the young age of 4 when my father passed away. My sister (who was 2) and I learned to love and respect our father through family photographs. There were only a few "professional" portraits in our home of Dad, but I quickly came to realize the emotion that could be evoked by pulling out the photo albums and slide projector. We, Mom and grandparents all would spend hours reminising over the photographs, time after time.
Mom, quite the photographer herself, continued documenting our lives as we grew. Soon I had a desire to create my own photographs, and my grandfather bought me a BRAND NEW Kodak Instamatic! Soon I was the photo terror of the neighborhood, only stopping when I was out of film.
This was the beginning of my lifelong love and passion of photography, always pursuing the next level of my photographic career. I enjoy the pursuits of making my current friends happy with their "new memories", as we create for them the wedding photographs of their deams. This is how I get my "kicks", with a camera in hand, photographing the wedding is all that is important to him. I am creating tomorrow's priceless memories that your children and grandchildren will enjoy. You can have a look at Britt's work at http://www.brittusa.com/ or you can email him at britt@brittusa.com or you can phone him at 727-512-1681.
I have personally enjoyed meeting Britt and see him as a true professional in the field of photography, and he is a pleasure to work with.
