St. Augustine, Florida

Saint Augustine is the (self-proclaimed) oldest city in the country. As far as American cities go, it is one of the most charming I’ve seen. We are there a lot. Nate’s family lives there and a lot our couples ask to shoot there. It’s easy to understand why. The downtown area of the city is magical. It’s gorgeous, it’s breezy, it’s charming, and it feels like you left America and were transported to some lost city in Europe. We love to go there to shoot but it can be hard to be creative after walking the same streets with our cameras time after time. For Amanda and Adam’s engagement session in our beloved little home away from home, we decided to take a break from the downtown blocks that we generally stroll and headed to a spot that we had discovered after making a wrong turn on our last trip. We shot 80% of this session on the property of this gorgeous church. It was perfect. And I am so happy with the images from this session. They are completely different from any other St. Augustine shoot we’ve ever done. They feel different. They are quieter. But so are Amanda and Adam. Our couples breathe energy into our images and from Amanda and Adam we got a quiet happiness. Gosh I just love them. I’ll stop now and let you take a look. Thanks Amanda and Adam for trusting us with a new location and some new ideas…

those eyes…

I’m so happy about this…

doesn’t this just make you wanna hug someone?

A sneak peek into Beth and Adam’s rooftop ceremony on a breezy day in St. Augustine, Florida. The details, the people, the entire day…. these two understand what it’s all about. I absolutely cannot wait to get to work on this wedding but for now, here’s a little glimpse into their day…

Amazing floral arrangements + paper flowers by our new friends at The Conservatorie

It feels good to have such a full bodied post to share with everyone today. The week is flying by and I feel like I’m still not even close to being dug out of the mountain of work we’ve got. Wednesday is always a sad day because it’s when Nate goes back to his part time day job and I’m left in the house by myself to keep plugging away at things. I get a bit spoiled by the 4 days we get to spend together in a row each week. On a happier note, HAPPY ST. PATTY‘s DAY! I tried to put on something green today but found that I only only have two green shirts and one is from high school. Needless to say, I’m not a big fan of either of them. I need some emerald green in my closet. (And maybe some heather gray. Just for fun.)

I decided to sign up for Susannah Conway’s Unravelling Course. I’m truly excited about it. Except that it’s the 2nd week and I haven’t even started on my first week’s assignments. (Overachiever, right here.) I’m thinking of doing the entire course in film instead of digital to push myself even further. I’ve been wanting to do this for a while now but each time Susannah has opened up a new course, it has sold out in the first 10 minutes. This last time, I happened to be sitting in front of my computer when I got the email that registration was open. Has anyone else ever done the Unravelling course? PS. I’d really love some coffee right now.

And because I wanted to make an announcement anyway for all my shopaholic and fashion loving friends. Four cool things happened recently: Anthropologie announced their upcoming bridal line. (WHHHHHATTTT? I know!) The Limited is also taking the leap into bridal with dresses under $300. And White House | Black Market listed a limited edition gown that is just lovely! (Just PLEASE for the love of all things holy, don’t wear it with white satin shoes like the model. Try these instead!) And Liberty of London started gracing the shelves of local Target stores. (Let’s take a second to talk about the baby girl dresses? Be still my ovaries.)

On to Kristin & Travis…

They had an “Hourglass Ceremony” which is a really creative spin on the more common sand ceremony…

Their night culminated as the clocks counted down to New Years and ended with a kiss as husband and wife…
