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 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.
Read MoreI am so excited to share a few photos from Cait & Matt's engagement session—they also chose two of my favorite places in St. Augustine and Ponte Vedra, Mission Nobre de Dios and Guana Reserve.

Kelly & 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 MoreThe Casa Monica Hotel, in the heart of downtown St. Augustine, is one of my favorite venues. Even if my brides aren't getting married in one of their awesome ballrooms or the pool deck, I always recommend their suites for getting ready with the bridal party. They're spacious, beautiful and have the best view of St. Augustine (and Flagler College towers). Killer for detail shots. They recently contacted me for some work to feature and I got super excited compiling these photos from 2014-2015.
Read MoreKelsey & Michael take the lead for best reception dancing of the year. Nearly ALL of their guests found their way to the dance floor and I am in LOVE with the expressions that Kelly & I were able to capture throughout night. My favorite part? The aunts dressed as flappers.
Read MoreBrooke & Ryan were married on June 14, 2015. It was a hot day (ask any of the groomsmen, who hung at the fort in the afternoon sun, before grabbing beers at Meehan's) but the indoor ceremony inside The White Room, along with a reception overlooking the Bayfront couldn't have been sweeter—or cooler. I met Brooke & Ryan last spring and knew immediately that I was going to have a blast working with them. We have since became friends, as Brooke yelled as I was packing up our gear at the end of the night, "Sarah, we can hang out now!" I am so happy for the both of them and for not once complaining about the blanket of humidity that hung over us as we took portraits on Charlotte Street. They turned out gorgeous.
