Adrienne & Marc’s Wedding |



Jacksonville Wedding Photographer

Adrienne and Marc are such a warm and fun couple. One of the first things I noticed when I met them is how incredibly relaxed and at home with each other they are. They look at each other with such love and trust. They got married at Epping Forest, which is a beautiful historic mansion in the San Jose area of Jacksonville. It’s such an amazing venue with its view of the river, lovely gardens, and stunning architecture. It’s hard to imagine that this home was actually considered the cottage away from home for the original owners of the mansion who vacationed here. It’s the perfect setting for a wedding, and as Adrienne had fervently hoped for, the weather was just as perfect.

Weddings are always an emotional event. As Adrienne got ready for the wedding, she had a handkerchief handy to wipe away any tears. Even Marc needed the handkerchief as you’ll see in the pictures… Their ceremony was so touching, and I loved how they added their own special elements to it. They gave each of their daughters necklaces as a symbol of the two families joining together, and they released butterflies in honor of Marc’s mother who passed away two years ago. Their three daughters are absolutely priceless — full of fun and ready for their new joint life.

Adrienne and Marc, I wish you a long and happy life together!

A & N Twins | Jacksonville photographer

I set up my studio in my client’s home for a session with her beautiful 11-month-old twins. I even got to enjoy lovely views of the river while I worked! A & N were full of energy and ready to crawl. I love their adventurous spirits and how joyful their smiles are! S family, enjoy your sneak peek!


I was so happy when N put her hand up to her hair like this. She’s a natural model!

A has such a classic, soulful look here. Look at those eyes!

Beach Engagement | Jacksonville wedding photographer

K & E live just a hop, skip, and a jump away from the ocean. We walked together to the beach for their engagement session, and we were blessed with wonderful, warm spring weather. They are so in love, and I can’t wait to photograph their wedding in October. K & E, enjoy your sneak peek!

A and M Engagement | Jacksonville wedding photographer

I’m the photographer for A and M’s wedding in late April, and for their engagement session, we went to the same park where M proposed. This park has a wonderful rustic feel and so many fun spots to choose from; I had trouble narrowing down the pictures to show here on my blog. A & M are such a warm couple, and it’s easy to see how in love they are! A & M, enjoy your sneak peek, and I can’t wait to photograph your wedding!





And this last picture is one of my favorites because this is on the dock where M proposed at sunset. I also have to say that I love amazing sunsets like this!
