I cannot believe I am writing this on March 6, 2017 but there are SO many amazing images I made last year and so many awesome people I met along the way—I can't leave them behind without an awesome recap. 2016 proved to be the first big year of travel for SAP, including weddings and engagements in Chicago, New York, Asheville, Miami & Vermont. 2017 has even more destination weddings on the books.
Read MoreMeeting 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 MoreManda & 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 MoreKimberly and Johan are from Chicago and wanted to treat their families & friends to a fall destination wedding. They literally stumbled upon St. Augustine and chose the White Room as soon as they saw its awesome rooftop view. The Cubs won the World Series the NIGHT BEFORE the wedding so everyone was in AMAZING spirits all week long.
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 MoreHanging out with Farrah and Isaac was like meeting up with old friends. We immediately connected and I was SUPER excited to see the private beach behind Isaac's home in Burlington, Vermont. We hiked, scouted and eventually ended up next to a classic wooden boat and a beautiful sunset. I am so thankful to have met the two of them—their laughter is contagious and I cannot wait to see them married next summer. And thanks, Vermont, for being one of the most beautiful places on earth.
Read MoreJared & Zara had their first ceremony & reception in the UK and when they asked me to shoot their Vermont reception—I was almost speechless. Jared is an amazing photographer in Boston and I was sure he had a few folks in mind. My brother grew up with Jared and it was the first wedding I worked with family around.
The day was as I imagined—completely laid back and absolutely beautiful. It ended up being a cold month in Vermont this July and the entire afternoon was a mix of mist and rain. Scott Farm is amazing. It was where Cider House Rules was filmed and even cooler, Jared's grandfather worked on the farm in the 1930's.
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 MoreBryn & Jarrod's wedding is one I will always remember. My first Miami adventure and it was spent with two awesome families that welcomed me like I was one of their own.
Bryn & Jarrod had their first look at Vizcaya Gardens, one of Miami's hottest (no pun intended) venues. And guess what? A huge storm rolled in. We waited it out in the gift shop and I am so glad we did. The rain stopped 15 minutes before closing time and because the storm scared everyone else away (it's rare to see this garden empty)—we were the only ones outside! The sun appeared in the gardens right as we were wrapping up and it's the most beautiful light I have seen this spring.
