This incredibly windy but incredibly loving day was one of my favorite sunsets at Casa Marina Hotel. Kelsey & Blake picked a beautiful November day to get married beach side in Jacksonville Beach, Florida. With soft pastel pinks, navy’s and creamy whites they accented Casa Marina’s Historic Beauty and created an adorable wedding by the ocean. Check out their perfect sunset wedding below….Enjoy!

Just the most perfect of Saturday Mornings. Felt just like a fairy tale as I walked up to the cute St.Augustine Bungalow she and her bridesmaids were sipping champagne and getting ready at. Blue skies, birds chirping, and a lovely group of people to spend the day with.
Besides the beautiful day, there were so many smiles and laughs that it was hard to narrow down my favorites. Check out some of their best below. Enjoy!

2015. It may be in month 2 of 2016, but you still haunt me. If you own your own business you know the year doesn’t really end on December 31st. There are mountains of things to do in order to close out the year and it always seeps into the months following the champagne filled New Years Eve party you went to. In comes my blog post…my end of 2015 is officially here with the closing of my books and editing my last session which happened to be on the last day of the year. I put together a collage last year and photo timeline and people seemed to have a good laugh so I decided to give it another go around.
2015 was filled with 36 weddings, 55 photo booths and 50 portraits sessions all taking place in Florida, Colorado, Washington, Virginia, Ireland, and Scotland. We hit our 5th year in business and 160th wedding. And to be honest we had one of the best years since we started in 2010. Although…2016 is already proven to be a heavy contestant for “Best Year”, but I will leave that to next years post. For now, check out my photo captioned year below.
Enjoy and Thanks to all my clients from 2015 that made this such a magical and wonderful year!

We began the year in cold Colorado bundled up with this guy…
Then we decided to rent a camper van…
And head to Ireland…
To photograph these two…
We Danced a lot…
And had some of this…
And this…
And then did this…
Then we came back to the states and photographed these guys at a candy factory…
Was it a boy?
A Girl?
It was a boy. Here he is…
We also danced in the woods…
And went on a boat ride…
And hung out cliffside…
And at the beach…
And by the river…
We also had a bunch of smiles….
A lot of lovely couples got married…
But some people were over it…
And the Rain…
And the sunshine…
As well as the cake eaters…
The “Glowing Bride Award” was created …
And also the “Best Bridesmaid Award”…
Hands became a new photographic obsession…
And now it’s on to 2016…
The Goldenest of Golden Hour Engagements was my first time at Castaway Island Preserve in Jacksonville, Florida. With cowboy boots on we explored the beautiful woods of Castaway Island on one of the most beautiful days here in Florida. Enjoy my last engagement session of 2015!
I’ve always thought the best way to throw a wedding is to rent a house and party all night! Kaylie & Jason had the same idea and you can see the beauty of their St.Augustine Fall Wedding in the lovely photo below. Enjoy!
I love a couple that likes to take an adventure. Especially when I get to photograph them while zooming down the St.Johns to a Private Island. I had such a great time with my good friends Marty and Jess. They are a super sweet and fun couple that loves going out on the water on their boat (named Double D’s), so we decided to incorporate that in the shoot. We couldn’t have done it without our trusty Captain, Mo Vaughan behind the helm on the boat I was photographing from. Check out their sunset engagement session below…
Enjoy!

Jessica is a really talented artist. Here she is trying to write the date in the sand 🙂

That Hair Jess!
There are several thing about weddings I love. Everyone is always dressed in their best, in great moods, their are always fresh flowers and delicious cake. Tons of dancing and maybe some drinking. It’s wonderful. Who wouldn’t love all of these things? What I loved the most from this wedding was not any of the above things. But the love between Marla and Mike. Incredibly moving how so in love these two are. Mike kept his eyes on one thing, one person all night no matter what. Marla. He even extended his vows and gave a speech at their reception to let her know one more time how happy and lucky he is to have her in his life. It was honestly so beautiful. Check out their wonderful love below.
Enjoy!
