Manda & Jeremy had their destination wedding in St. Augustine because it's one of their favorite historic cities. They have been together nearly a decade and everyone was ready to see them tie the knot.
Read MoreIn lieu of today feeling like fall (finally!) in St. Augustine at a low of 70 :) I have a chance to sit down—windows open and comfortable— and reflect on this season. I have been moving Sarah Annay Photography slowly but surely to working the summer and fall months in Burlington, Vermont, where both my life and love affair with photography began. I had the opportunity to shoot Macey & Matt's wedding on September 3, 2016 and it was one for the books.
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 MoreThere is nothing more beautiful (and relaxing) than summer days spent on Lake Champlain. I grew up on Mallet's Bay, with the cool blue water and epic sunsets as my backdrop. When Corey and Danielle told me about their family friend who has a place on Coates Island—I was beyond excited. This is also where Corey proposed.
Read MoreStephanie & Steve met working at one of the most beautiful Inn's in the Southeast— The Omni Grove Park Inn, in the heart of Asheville and the Blue Ridge Mountains. We shot on an overcast Sunday which cast some of my favorite light, especially with the awesome abandoned house on the hill as our backdrop. These two will be wed in August in the middle of the woods at a Boys Summer Camp—it's going to be amazing. <3
Read MoreCait & Matt were married at Bowing Oaks in Jacksonville on May 15, 2016. Matt's dad married them under an oak tree in the late afternoon sun and it was one of the most beautiful ceremonies I've seen. The Posey's are a family of musicians and there was strumming, singing and praise the entire evening. Not to mention an amazing vintage pick-up parked outside as a Polaroid photo-booth backdrop for guests. Thrown in the back of the truck? Bags packed for California—Cait and Matt headed on a road trip out west the following morning.
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 MoreJessica and Jake eloped exactly where they had their first date—on a small fishing dock in St. Augustine south. Scattered thunderstorms filled the days forecast and hours before the ceremony we were still questioning whether the weather would hold up. We decided to go with it. I packed umbrellas and prepared for the storm... it never came.

I just returned from Atlanta an hour ago and after spending 7 hours in the car—my brain is fried but I still feel the enthusiasm and creative juices flowing from yesterday's workshop with Sam Hurd and many other talented photographers from all over the Southeast.
