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.

Destination Wedding Photographer: Why an engagement session is necessary

For those who groan at the thought of an engagement session—this is my PSA to you AND other photographers who struggle explaining to clients the importance of one.

St. Augustine Wedding Photographer: Memorial Presbyterian, Manda & Jeremy

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.

Kimberly 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.

Creative St. Augustine Wedding Photographer: Angela & Eric Avella, Fountain of Youth

Angela & 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.

St. Augustine Wedding Photographer: Creative Ice Plant Engagement, Danielle & Verne

Was 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.

St. Augustine Wedding Photographer: Creative Portraits in St. Augustine, Oriana & Chad

I 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.

Creative St. Augustine Wedding Photographer: Riverhouse Wedding, Lindsay & David Gracey

Lindsay & David were wed, after 13 years together, on October 24, 2015. They stayed at Cedar House Inn downtown, had their ceremony right on the water at the Riverhouse and their reception in the beautiful ballroom. One of the coolest parts of the day was the 2-hour trolley they rented for the bridal party. This not only gave us time to relax and take dozens of photos but also gave their friends a little taste of St. Augustine. And the weather was perfect. Thank you, Child of Prague.

Lindsay & David Countdown to be wed!

I cannot wait to see (and capture!) Lindsay & David's—who have been together a decade— wedding this weekend. I did not have the chance to post our awesome "hang" session from what seems like forever ago... so here it is. Anticipating beautiful light and perhaps recreating some of these photos on Saturday. As long as the nuns allow us to hang on the porch this time...

Jessica & Jake: St. Augustine Elopement, Vaill Point Park, Florida wedding photographer

Jessica 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.
