Florida Panhandle Wedding Photographer: Charla Gets Married

Victor — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 21:29:21 +0000

The Queen of Zebra & Fuchsia married The King of Hunting & Fishing. Such a special couple! Charla Atkins of Port St Joe, the daughter of Holly and Charles Atkins, glowingly became Mrs. Justin Michael Douglas on Saturday, July 31st. I do believe she is a very happy bride! I have thought long and hard to try and write something eloquent and demure about this incredible couple…..then I gave up. I’ll have to let our images of this wonderful celebration speak for themselves. Since a picture is worth a thousand words, get ready for ten thousand of them. Congratulations, and thank you for allowing Silver Quest Studios the privilege and fun of capturing so many of your lifetime memories. We wish only the very best for you, for many, many years to come. Congratulations!!

Florida Panhandle Photographer: Covenant Christian School Summer Camp Kite Day

Victor — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 18:00:06 +0000

Summer in the Florida Panhandle can be down right hot. Baking-cookies-on-the-dashboard-hot! But what a cool way to spend a few hours than to teach kids how to build and fly a kite. And that’s just what we did on a very hot Wednesday, July 21 at Covenant Christian School in Panama City. Debbi Earnest organized the event and invited me (to be a kid again, if only for a few hours) to show these wonderful boys and girls to build their own kites. They drew, colored, cut, pasted, tied and twisted their tongues around until all of that turned into ….a kite! We then went to the ball field and let the wind perform its magic. When in doubt, go fly a kite!

Florida Beach Portraits

What an incredible summer we have had. The oil disaster in the Gulf has not slowed the desire to continue an age old tradition to have your family photos taken on the beach. Fortunately all our beaches have stayed free of oil. Janis and I have been overwhelmed by the number of sessions we’ve been able to book this year, and have thoroughly enjoyed meeting and playing with so many beautiful families on the beach. I created a collage that sums up this summer’s beach sessions. I hope you enjoy it.

Port St Joe Wedding Photographer: Summer & Carl’s Big Wedding Day

Victor — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 02:57:17 +0000

What did you do last week-end? We had the honor of shooting the beautiful wedding of Summer and Carl Hopper. The ceremony, with their family and many friends, was held on the tree shaded lawn of Centennial Park in the late afternoon of June 12, 2010. As the bride made her dramatic entrance, the air was filled with the soft aroma of magnolia blossoms and the lilting tones of the string musicians playing that familiar tune. After the ceremony, who could think of a better way to get to the reception but to hitch a ride in a 1908 Ford model T. Everyone smiled and honked their horns for “good luck” as the Model T round its way through Port St. Joe to The Beach Club, at Windmark Beach. There the clubhouse was expertly designed and beautifully decorated with satin and organza table cloths, framing the beautiful fresh flower arrangements, done in the Bride’s favorite colors. It was a perfect ending to a perfect beginning.

Port St Joe Wedding Photographer: Fran and Ben become Hokkanen

Victor — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 19:40:16 +0000

On a warn sultry afternoon on May 29th, Fran and Ben committed to become man and wife and join the Hokkanen Finnish family and end their single lives of lonely solitude. Ha! In reality they invited their best friends and family to celebrate their union at the quaint and cozy St Joseph’s Catholic Church in Port St Joe. After the ceremony we headed to Windmark Beach for some fun photos. We were very fortunate to run into Ryan Alexander, manager of the School of Fish Restaurant at Windmark Beach. He was a gracious host and invited us to use his restaurant as a backdrop for some of our shots. We then headed for the Tourist Development Council which sports a huge open air deck overlooking St Joe Bay. Under white tents decorated and lit by Rich Wynn of Panche Tent and Events and the co-operation of a cool breeze coming off St Joe Bay, the mood was set. That’s when the party started. Provisions provided the most beautiful, tastiest,colorful buffet I have ever seen! Beach Bartenders kept the crowd happy, singing and dancing. A beautiful ceremony, super fun reception with family and (very energetic) friends. This is their life and these are their pictures, enjoy!
