Estate on the Halifax Saint Patrick’s Wedding

When I had my initial consultation with Ashlynn and Tim, I spent the entire evening laughing, and we all became instant friends. They told me how they met through Tim’s sister, Tami, and fell in love while also becoming the best of friends – and I could see it in the way that they interacted with one another, that they had truly found their forever in each other. They chose Saint Patrick’s Day because it was their favorite holiday (and lucky for them, it fell on a Saturday this year!) and because neither of them could remember what day they first started dating. The Estate on the Halifax provided a quirky and fun venue for guests to celebrate love and shamrocks.

I was lucky enough to meet Lacey and Fred while capturing (and celebrating) a close friend’s wedding in Rosemary Beach, Florida. I was immediately drawn to their relaxed nature and love for each other. When she reached out to me about capturing her own wedding, I was beyond excited for the opportunity to capture the ease and happiness the pair had found with one another. Opting out of the crazy wedding hoopla, they eloped with a few of their nearest and dearest on a sailboat in Saint Augustine, and then celebrated with delicious crafts and food at Wicked Barley Brewery – and it was a day filled with love and happiness and we loved being a part of it all!

October Oaks Farm Wedding | Daffnee and Mike

October Oaks Farm Wedding | Daffnee and Mike

Daffnee and Mike are two people who rekindle your faith in love and relationships, because the two fit together like peanut butter and jelly (or honey or bananas, depending your personal taste) and the way they hold eye contact is what photographer dreams are made of. They chose October Oaks Farm as their venue, and Daffnee brought her elegant and chic touches to the rustic barn, creating an elegant romance among candlelight. It was a sunny, gorgeous day when I arrived on property – the girls were getting ready in the bridal house, and I am pretty sure I squealed when I saw Daffnee’s fitted lace racer-back, deep V with lace cut outs gown. Mike had a little gift dropped off to his bride to be, and we all got ALL THE FEELS when she opened one of the most thoughtful (yet simple) gifts, ever. #groomgoals

Hyatt Regency Sarasota Wedding | Michaela and Garrett

Hyatt Regency Sarasota Wedding | Michaela and Garrett

Romance set the tone on Michaela and Garrett’s wedding day at the Hyatt Regency with blush, rose gold, and dark grey hues accented with white pearls and an intimate rooftop ceremony overlooking beautiful Clearwater Beach. They kept things traditional, choosing to see each other for the first time as they walked down the aisle – giving everyone the opportunity to see Garrett shed a handful of tears as his beautiful bride walked down the aisle. Each of them fondly looked back on their day and agreed that the ceremony was the best part – for Garrett, it was seeing Michaela walk down the aisle, for Michaela, it was walking back down it with her husband to “Love on top” by Beyonce. For us, it was their HUGE smiles after they said “I DO!”!
