Ashley & John celebrated their love at two St. Augustine gems—The Oldest House & St. Augustine Distillery. They got ready at John's parents house near the Bayfront, hiding from each other throughout the morning. It was a destination wedding for a lot of their family (traveling from CA) and they got to see the city lit up for Night of Lights and drink cocktails at our one and only distillery.
Read MoreNicole & Charlie have known each other since childhood and did not imagine then that they'd end up spending their lives together. They are such an awesome couple—and her mom and sister also joined us! Here's some of my favorites.
Read MoreWas super excited when Danielle reached out asking about shooting their engagement at the Ice Plant Bar. Not only is it one of my favorite spots (and has killer light falling from the high windows mid-morning) but Verne is co-owner of Bosscal Mezcal and they wanted to incorporate the awesome bottle as well. Danielle & Verne are getting married in 2 months and I am super psyched to be part of their intimate wedding at The Lightner Museum & Casa Monica Hotel.
Read MoreI was not available for Oriana & Chad's wedding this past December—and was surprised (and excited!) to hear back from them a month later, saying that they were happy with their ceremony photos but really wanted a session with me for creative portraits. I had to post some of these images— not only because I am missing the night of lights magic but because her dress was killer and deserves some recognition.
Read MoreWorking with Ali & Marcie was like hanging out with longtime friends. We met over a year ago now and I am already nostalgic thinking back to our first shoot at the Iceplant and surprising shrimp boat captains on the docks downtown.
Their wedding was perfect. They rented a big ol' house on Saint Augustine Beach (on 1st Lane—one of the best rentals around) and were married at the White Room's rooftop right before sunset. I am so thankful to have met these two women and their awesome families. Their bridal party was full of nieces and nephews and their energy made the group shots really come to life!
Thanks to all the amazing vendors who made these two brides look awesome and rock out the whole day.
Read MoreKelly & Adam are from Port Saint Lucie. They decided to keep things simple (and absolutely gorgeous) and have a small ceremony at Cedar House Inn in historic downtown St. Augustine. They also got married on my favorite holiday and I am SO happy I decided to work this Halloween. The masks Kelly found and Adam's top hat were an awesome touch. Thanks, St. Augustine, for always providing such KILLER backdrops.
Read MoreLindsay & David were wed, after 13 years together, on October 24, 2015. They stayed at Cedar House Inn downtown, had their ceremony right on the water at the Riverhouse and their reception in the beautiful ballroom. One of the coolest parts of the day was the 2-hour trolley they rented for the bridal party. This not only gave us time to relax and take dozens of photos but also gave their friends a little taste of St. Augustine. And the weather was perfect. Thank you, Child of Prague.
Read MoreI cannot wait to see (and capture!) Lindsay & David's—who have been together a decade— wedding this weekend. I did not have the chance to post our awesome "hang" session from what seems like forever ago... so here it is. Anticipating beautiful light and perhaps recreating some of these photos on Saturday. As long as the nuns allow us to hang on the porch this time...
Read MoreI have to say...I have never spent 6 hours shooting an engagement session—until now. I just couldn't stop hanging out with Ali & Marcie. They are madly in love, hysterical to be around and we have similar taste in drinks (and pizza). We started at the Ice Plant to beat the heat (and to save the awesome makeup by Amanda Hopcraft Makeup Artist) and ended up at the shrimp docks nearby and later, at the beach— once the clouds rolled in. The night ended with a stormy Florida sunset (my favorite) and beachgoers photobombing our last couple of shots. :)
I am beyond stoked to be part of their wedding come November.
Read MoreCaitlin & Daniel had their picturesque beach wedding on May 23, 2015. The Blue Ocean Breeze is an awesome venue and house—sleeping up to 20 people with high-rise ceilings and the most beautiful light! Not to mention the spiral staircase where they had their first look before their ceremony. The sky darkened post-ceremony but provided the natural soft-box that photogs pray for during beach weddings.
