Meeting Erika & Michael at a small French brassiere in Manhattan for the first time was like meeting old friends I hadn't seen in years—but in winter wonderland. Erika and I were going back and forth weeks prior and I had been anticipating snow and was SO excited when I stepped out that morning.
Read MoreAshley & 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 MoreI had a blast in Chicago for a little over 36 hours and I couldn't have had better tour guides than Kimberly & Johan. I absolutely LOVE seeing where my destination couples live and will travel anywhere to shoot awesome engagement sessions. It pushes me creativity to be on the loose in a new city!
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 MoreJoanna & Martin's sunrise ceremony, with only a few close family and friends, was intimate and beautiful. After the ceremony, we headed to Guana Tolomato Matanzas Reserve (one of my favorite places to shoot!) for round two of portraits—it was the best of both worlds, land and sea. Thanks for having me part of this special morning.
Read MoreAngela & Eric's wedding was one for the books.
It was my first time shooting in the new and improved Prince of Peace Church (with an amazing bridal room, by the way), a unique "first touch" idea (Angela surprised Eric with a guitar he has always wanted right before the ceremony), and a beautiful reception at The Fountain of Youth—not to mention TACOS from TacoLu. You know how I feel about tacos.
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 MoreWas super stoked when Natalie Stoppelli Canty (Owner of Parlor Room) & Julie Stoppelli (Owner of DOS Coffee & Wine) asked me to shoot a stylized shoot promoting St. Augustine's newest wedding and event venue. I cannot wait to see this venue open right behind DOS in December 2016. A beautiful industrial building with handcrafted farmhouse tables. It's exactly what St. Augustine needs.
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.
