Patty & Walt



Jacksonville photographer

I met Patty and Walt at the beach for their engagement session. Their wedding will take place in Iowa, but they wanted their engagement pictures to be in sunny Florida while they were on vacation. They are so at ease with each other and make such a warm couple. Patty and Walt, I wish you both much joy in your married life!

I love the lighting in the dunes; it’s perfect for them.


Jenny & Ed |



Jacksonville wedding photographer

Jenny and Ed have known each other since high school, and as soon as I met them, I could see how at home they are with each other and how in love they are. They got married at Palm Valley Gardens in Ponte Vedra Beach. It’s such a charming venue with its pond and landscaped gardens, and it even has a balcony that Jenny used to throw her bouquet. Jenny and Ed know how to have fun, and boy, can Jenny move fast! That bouquet was in the air in a split second, and they both were running at full speed when it was time for their bubble farewell. It makes me smile just remembering. They were just that excited to start their new lives together. Congratulations again, and I wish you many, many years of joy.

Tracy & Ryne Engaged |





Jacksonville wedding photographer

Tracy is a stylist and has been taking care of my hair for a while now, and as she’d make my hair pretty, I got to hear all about Ryne. When I learned that he had popped the question and she wanted to hire me to do her engagement portraits with a vintage theme, I was so excited to have fun with her and Ryne. She not only came wearing an amazing red dress, but she also had red balloons and the perfect hat for her fiance. They are such a fun couple, and it’s easy to see how right they are for each other. Tracy and Ryne, congrats again!

Amber & Adam |



St. Augustine wedding photographer

Rooftop weddings can be so lovely, and Adam and Amber’s wedding in St. Augustine showcased an amazing view of the Bridge of Lions. They were married at The White Room, and I love their hardwood floors and brick walls. The flowers were done by Simply Roses. Before the ceremony, Amber and Adam had a “first look,” and not only was it so sweet to see their faces when they saw each other for the first time, but it was also fun walking around the St. Augustine side streets as we did some of the group pictures with the bridesmaids and groomsmen. The ceremony was beautiful, and Amber looked absolutely stunning and radiant. At the end of the reception, Amber and Adam had a special last dance all by themselves. I took a few pictures and then headed down to the staircase to join the guests. Soon Amber and Adam descended the staircase to a send-off with bubbles. Congratulations to you both, and I wish you a lifetime of happiness together!





Kelly & Erik |



Jacksonville wedding photographer

Kelly and Erik got married at Club Continental in Jacksonville, FL, and this venue has such character with its overlook of the St. John’s river and pretty courtyard. I love the vintage feel of these type of venues, and the river is always a romantic backdrop. Kelly and Erik also planned elegant details for their wedding. The flowers were done by Deerwood Florist, Kelly’s makeup was done by Sulee, and the wedding band, Fast Lane, played just the right music.



Kelly and her bridesmaids got dressed in a room inside the main building, and I was happy that it had such picturesque mullioned windows. Kelly is a tall beauty and looked amazing in her wedding dress, and it was easy to see that Erik thought so, too. The ceremony overlooking the water was lovely, and after family pictures, everyone was ready for celebration. Kelly and Erik, congratulations again, and I wish you many years of happiness together!
