Real Wedding: Ashley + Tyronne @ Tampa Palms

10/10/09, Ashley and Tyronne got married! What a sweet and joyful day!! Ashley wore a beautiful silk organza gown and had flowers in her hair instead of a veil. Something old...... she wore a gold locket with a picture of her grandmother........something blue was blue ties on the white kicks she wore, cute and comfortable! Tyronne loves ice cream and wanted an ice cream cake for his groom's cake, but since it couldn't sit out during the cocktail hour Alessi Bakery made him a cake that was an ice cream cone and they had sundae's instead so definitely best of both worlds there. Some of my favorite pictures of them was after the wedding they were walking on the bridge and I was just capturing just the two of them, so sweet! Congrats you two!!!

Real Wedding: Melissa + Mark @ Cross Creek Ranch

Melissa and Mark planned an amazing day this past Saturday October 3rd, 2009! When I did their engagement session at Dinosaur World in the spring I knew we would be in for some fun!  You could definitely feel the excitement in the air!  Melissa had a beautiful lace veil that her parents had gotten here while on vacation in Belgium this past year.  Her something old was her grandmother's wedding ring and Mark's wedding band was his grandfather's ring.  They had mini cakes for each table and gift favor bags for their guests as they ended the night. The ceremony and reception were at Cross Creek Ranch, and they were very busy this summer expanding their rustic barn and my new favorite place to shoot are the cute yellow his and hers restrooms:-) Sneaks are below and their entire wedding gallery will be at www.pictage.com/614820

After Joan saw her sneak peeks on my blog, she left left me the nicest note on my facebook:-)

"Hi Carrie,
We've been in such a flurry of activity from before the wedding until now that I've hardly had time to write anything. Wanted you to know that the 'sneak peeks' you provided are GREAT. Already have a couple of favs. Can't wait to see the rest. I've mentioned your name - not in vain either lol - to so many others at HSN that when other weddings come about, you're a shoe-in as photographer! Thx so much for everything."
