Last Saturday was the first day of Spring and it was such a great day for Kristin and Mike’s St Augustine Wedding at St Johns Country Club. The entire day was perfect… the best day in a while from a weather perspective. Everyone was so happy and so friendly that I was truly touched so many times. I think Kristin, Mike, their friends and family are great people. I’m so happy I could capture their day with my photography partner for the event Ruth Shepard. When I sat down to edit, there were many times that I literally laughed out loud.
I hope you enjoy this sneak peak! See more at Flickr.
It was such a beautiful day on Saturday. It was the first day of Spring… and it was the first time that Kristin and Mike got to call each other husband and wife. The wedding party consisted of 8 joking groomsmen and 8 beautiful bridesmaids in pretty tea length dresses. The weather was perfect, the day was stress free and the guests were all so friendly. Thank you guys, for making my job easy… it was a pleasure for Ruth and I to take your portraits. There are so many pictures to go though, but here a few teasers.
“It’s a nice day for a white wedding”
Today I head to Saint Augustine to photograph the beautiful couple Kristin and Mike who you may remember from their super cute Jacksonville engagement portraits.

One of my best friends from Pennsylvania was in town a couple of weeks ago and it was a great opportunity to take my husband and her to one of my favorite nature spots off of Hecksher Drive at Big Talbot Island. My Jax Field Trip photography group likes to call it dead tree beach. Ancient Oaks have plummeted to their deaths and now line the shores as a reminder because of erosion. There’s something beautiful about it. Florida State Parks says it well, “this unique beach is famous for the salt washed skeletons of live oak and cedar trees that once grew near the shore.”

If you follow me on , you may have heard this more than once. This year hasn’t felt like Christmas.
I attribute this unsatisfying feeling to a few things:
1) We’re new here. My husband and I moved to Florida from Erie, PA. We associate Christmas with being cold and snowy. I don’t mind warm, white-free winters, trust me. But my time up north must have ingrained this into my head. I anticipate next year being different. Maybe next year, I’ll send out palm trees on my Christmas cards.
Side note: I can’t believe how much snow the Mid-Atlantic region received! My little brother in Asheville, NC said they got 2 feet of snow. My grandma is flying in from Richmond, VA tomorrow… they got snow too. I heard on GMA this morning that the DC airports have been dealing with cancellations and delay all weekend.
I feel for you, friends but you can keep the snow
2) I miss my friends and family. I’ve lived away from my immediate family since I was 17 and moved to Erie for college. My friends are apart of my family and without them, it’s hard to get in the holiday spirit. Even though we’re far apart, I know my closest friends know they are in my heart this time for year.
3) No big holiday meals. I enjoy cooking. But I LOVE cooking holiday meals for lots of people. This year, the hubby has to work the evening of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day so it might be just my grandmother and me. I’m happy that she’s joining!
This year was a year of transitions. My job moved me here a few months after I got married. The husband was out of work for a while. But good things come to those who wait and now he’s working again in the field he loves. We’re making friends. I’m grateful for new friends that I’ve met through photography. I’m confident that my holiday spirit has finally arrived, despite it being a little different. I know that next year will be even better.
So, to end on an up note, Happy Holidays to everyone. I wish you great happiness and warm blessings this year. To my husband, this is our first Christmas as husband and wife. And before you know it, it will be your BIRTHDAY and on New Year’s Eve it will be our anniversary. I’m glad I met someone who has such a good heart and that we’ll be spending the holidays together with our kitties.
It was a rainy day Saturday in Jacksonville, FL but there were still lovely moments to capture with newborn baby girl Savannah. This precious little girl was only 7 days old when photographed. Taking pictures of a newborn gave my ovaries a little tug… I’ll admit it 
Here are some early sneak pics.
A big thank you to Ruth of Roving Girl Photography, who allowed me to join her for this newborn shoot in Atlantic Beach, Florida. It’s great to have an amazing network of photographers who are so receptive to collaboration.
If you’re interested in my photography for newborns, maternity, weddings or portraits, please let me know!
