St. Augustine Photographer: 'Welcome to Neverland' The Carriage House Wedding, St. Augustine, Florida

This Peter Pan themed wedding was everything Krysta & Kaitlin imagined AND MORE. All of the details were insanely amazing and the team that put this all together is AWESOME. If you haven’t had a chance to check out The Carriage House in downtown St. Augustine, now’s the time—the garden is in full bloom and is the ideal setting for an indoor/outdoor Florida-style wedding. And obviously, you can make it as magical as you dream… thanks to the amazing set and floral design by Amanda at Simply Weddings by Amanda.

ST. AUGUSTINE PHOTOGRAPHER, VERMONT PHOTOGRAPHER: 2018 YEAR IN REVIEW

DRAG SHOW during a reception, photographing a good friends wedding, Ellie & Michael, who definitely won the dance-party-of-the-year award, building my portfolio in NYC and meeting awesome couples from the Northeast, like Tara & Emma and Cesar & Xiomara—who chose St. Augustine for its beauty and historic charm. I also got to photograph my roommates engagement in NYC and my best friends engagement in snowy Stowe, Vermont.

St. Augustine Gay Wedding Photographer: White Room Wedding, Tara & Emma

Tara & Emma chose a destination close to heart for their wedding—they have been visiting St. Augustine for years and wanted to share this special city with everyone on their list (mostly from NY and NJ).

St. Augustine Gay Wedding Photographer: White Room Wedding, Ali & Marcie Higgs

Working 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.

I 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.

Dustyn & Scott made national headlines being one of the first gay couples to receive their marriage license on January 6, 2015 in Florida. They live in Waycross, Georgia but LOVE Florida and come at least twice a month.
