So as promised, here are truly just a few of the amazing details from Lee & Yutaka’s wedding. I was going to combine the details with the events of the reception but after posting all of these decided I’d do a Part III tomorrow. I know it means waiting to see everyone doing shots at the sake bar, dancing, etc. but trust me, it’s worth it! In the meantime, enjoy all the beautiful details and food.

And if you’re curious about all the fantastic people who made their wedding spectacular, here’s the list:

Nicole Kaney, coordinator and owner of NK Productions
Rohin Singh, Ritz Carlton Sarasota
Joe Spanella, officiant
Jane Hoffman & Peter Simms, ceremony music
Bill Buchman Trio, reception music
Primetime Limos, bride & groom transportation
SRQ Trolley, guests transportation
Luci S, hair & makeup

An Elegant Sunset Wedding for Lee & Yutaka

August 20, 2008 – 1:23 am

“Tennis brought them together and love will carry them for a lifetime.” - Me

I don’t even know where to begin when describing this amazing, caring couple. From the moment we met them they were energetic, fun and warm. Ford & I have enjoyed every moment with them and walked away from their wedding feeling as if we had just documented memories not just for wonderful clients but for friends.

They had friends and family travel from all over the globe for their beautiful, intimate wedding at the Sarasota Ritz Beach Club. And the details are amazing. She and Nicole Kaney planned everything perfectly and left no detail forgotten. In fact, there are so many fantastic details that you’ll have to stop by tomorrow to see all of them. I did add a few now but if you want to see the majority of them, which trust me you do, then stop by tomorrow for Part II.

The very adorable flower girl, Samantha enjoyed a little TV before hair and make-up.

First look was perfect. In fact, Yutaka actually took a peek he was so anxious to see Lee.

He couldn’t stop smiling all day.

Yutaka’s two nephews visiting from Tokyo.

The beautiful flower girls.

So tomorrow is details, details, details plus here’s a sneak peak of the rest of the day’s events…………..

Enjoy and I look forward to sharing so much more tomorrow!!
