Anna + Jordan
Hello blue hues and elegance for Anna + Jordan’s wedding day! Ugh I just love it. Everything was positively gorgeous! Anna + Jordan got to have a sweet intimate ceremony the day before their wedding with just them and their family and then the big ol’ party followed the next day at The Preserve! Here’s some glimpses into their sweet wedding day!
Graysen + Austin
Gimme all the classic river wedding vibes. Graysen + Austin had their beautiful wedding full of the most simple and elegant touches at The Preserve at Amelia River Club. There really is just something about sunsets on the Island-they’re so vibrant and glowy! Enjoy some of these sweet moments from their day.
Sunsets and Champagne
Lauren + Kevin are what sweet dreams are made of tbh. They were so much fun to flit around Atlantic Beach with and we actually ended up chatting for like 45 mins to an hour after their session! The sunset was gorgeous, the surroundings were gorgeous, they are gorgeous! I just can’t ask for more honestly.
Sunset on the Blue Star
Lauren + Trevor’s sunset session was upon none other than the Blue Star-or as most of us would know it-the sailboat that Matthew McConaughey taught Sarah Jessica Parker to sail on in Failure to Launch! The sunset that evening could not have been more perfect and I loved nothing more than just capturing Lauren + Trevor in such a unique backdrop. Gah I love my job!
Stormy Sunset at Sea Dunes
Allie + Parker came to Amelia Island for their engagement session and of course Florida weather was weathering. BUT we grabbed some clear umbrellas and embraced it and I am SO happy with what we got in the midst of the cloudy gray skies! We are excited to capture their wedding at Amelia River Club with Within Weddings!
A Maternity Sunset Glow
Victoria and Mike are such sweet friends of ours and I have loved getting to capture so many stages of their family. This time they are welcoming their second little babe this May and ITS A GIRL! They wanted a beach session so we decided to go with North Guana Preserve so we could get a nice mix of those tall mountainous dunes and the beach and lemme tell you that sunset SLAYED! Victoria was absolutely glowing and Ben did an AWESOME job smiling and giving mama all the kisses!
A Creamy Sunset at Washington Oaks
Aubrey + Blake LOVE the beach and are getting married at Casa Marina. When they told me they were looking for a location that could incorporate the beach but also some other backgrounds I instantly thought of Washington Oaks! Washington Oaks is always beautiful but BOY did it deliver with that beautiful sunset and perfect (a little chilly) weather! The colors on the beach were so creamy and delicate and we honestly could not have had any better. We are so excited to capture Aubrey + Blake’s wedding this November!
Intimate Fall Wedding at the Ribault Club
Lydia + Kyler’s wedding was classic and simple and I AM HERE FOR IT! I actually did her sister Aldyn’s wedding around the same time last year (which you can see on our blog just a few posts over!). Lydia LOVES the movie Runaway Bride so the dress she chose was a very similar style to the dress Julia wears when she finally makes it down the aisle to the love of her life! Lydia + Kyler are so fun-loving and free spirited and it was so evident throughout their entire wedding day. As always it was such a pleasure getting to capture another wedding at the beautiful Ribault Club!
A Chilly Family Session at Riverfront Park
We’ve had the pleasure of getting to work with the Wilburs over the last couple of years and they are the absolute sweetest! When Shae reached out and asked me to do their family session I was more than happy! We had so much fun wrangling the kids and capturing some sweet memories for this precious family.
A Sweet Southern Wedding at Pebble Hill Plantation
It’s always fun working with Luke at our weddings and this time I had the privilege of getting to main shoot for him at Pebble Hill Plantation in Thomasville, GA! This place looks like it’s been plucked out of Souther Brides Magazine and boy does it deliver! The colors and florals Shelby + Jasper picked only made it better! We hope to get to shoot there again soon.
A Windy Beach Engagement Session
We are so excited to be able to capture Jen + Buck’s wedding! They are so much fun and I feel like you can really feel it through these photos! The sunset was creamy and delicious and they were perfection! We really could not have asked for more.
A Beautiful Session at Washington Oaks
Washington Oaks never disappoints and THIS time I got to utilize the gardens to their fullest since Anna + Chris chose to stay there instead of splitting their session between the beach and the gardens. It was quiet and there weren’t many other people around which made for a sweet intimate session. We got to explore more spots than I normally get to use and I just love how their session came out.
Sunset in Switzerland Florida
We are so excited to capture Amanda + Matt’s wedding this December! They were wanting a pretty sunset glow for their photos and Alpine Groves was the perfect choice. The weather could not have been more perfect and the lighting was GIVING alllll the perfection that evening!
A Studio Family Session
Oh The Barrentines! We finally got around to doing their family photos since their sweet second boy was born! We had so much fun chasing after those two boys around and laughing at all the crazy things they did! It’s been such a cool blessing getting to capture each stage of their family and we are so thankful to call them some of our best friends!
A Rainy Morning in Fernandina Beach
You know how you can usually dodge the classic FL summer rain by doing your shoots in the morning? Yeah not so much for the morning of Maya + Nile’s session! BUT, this is where having such awesome couples who are down for anything is so amazing! I had so much fun laughing and dodging raindrops with Maya + Nile in downtown Fernandina Beach! We were able to hit so many unique spots thanks to the local shop buildings and I am just so happy with how their session came out. RAIN CAN’T KEEP US DOWN!
Sunset on a Boat
Sometimes it happens to fall into place where we do Engagement Sessions the night before a wedding and that’s exactly what happened with Camryn + Robert! BUT something different about their session was IT WAS ON A FRIGGIN BOAT AT SUNSET! I’ve never gotten to do a session like this and I am so happy that Camryn thought of it!
An Elegant Fall Wedding at The Ribault Club | As Seen in Wedding Chicks
Aldyn + Ryan chose to get married at The Ribault Club on the Northside of Jacksonville, FL. They had the prettiest light and went for simplicity and elegance, which I think we ALL can agree that those two things go together in the most perfect of ways. The Ribault Club really captures the essence of historic Florida with it’s mossy oaks and classic architecture. We love weddings there as they have so many different backdrops to photos and video and the sunsets are *chefs kiss*! We had the honor of having Aldyn and Ryan’s wedding being featured in The Wedding Chicks which we will link at the bottom of this blog post! Make sure you check out their blog too!
Washington Oaks: A Palm Coast Engagement Session
Ciarra wanted two types of Engagement Sessions: The first was a city vibe and the second was a beachy vibe so of course I said YAAAAS! I’m so so happy she chose Washington Oaks because it gave the creamiest, dreamiest tones. We also had some sweet animal friends that were out and about as well, which I’ve never had happen in all the times I’ve shot at this location! You also would not believe me when I say that it was the stormiest sky when we were out there! Ugh I just love this sessions so much!
Windy Beach Engagement Session
Hey Siri…play Vacation Eyes by The Jonas Brothers! Caity + Noah were down for anything which made their session so much fun! I had the most ridiculous smile on my face while I was editing their photos because the love they have for one another just jumps off the screen!
Amelia Island Family Session
Jenica reached out to me a couple of months ago for family photos on the beach while they were here on vacation. I could not have asked for more beautiful lighting. The sunset was SO pretty-I guess that’s one nice thing that comes from all these summer storms! This sweet family was so fun to work with and I can’t wait to shoot with them again!
