You may remember these two from their sexy beach engagement session posted here. Danielle and Josh had a beautiful wedding at the Comfort Inn Oceanfront in Jacksonville beach, and it was our pleasure to be their photographers. Their orange hued details fit perfectly against the relaxed beach wedding for close family and friends.  After that it was off to a Caribbean cruise before returning to their home in Italy. Thanks guys for allowing us to be a part of your unforgettable day!

Danielle and Josh are both in the military and are stationed in Italy. Due to their tight schedule, we needed to do their engagement session just two days before the wedding. We stayed close to home and shot at Jax Beach and their venue, the Comfort Inn Oceanfront. They wanted a fun, beachy, and flirtatious feel to their session. Danielle also wanted to show off her new swimsuit (featuring her soon-to-be last name

Though the air show threatened to postpone our shoot the crowds finally departed and we hit the “magic hour” just before sunset and were able to take some fun images in Jacksonville Beach. Allie also wanted a beach house feel to the shoot so the Fig Tree Inn graciously let us come and shoot on their adorable front porch. Allie and David were so cute together and were super excited for their spring wedding at Palm Valley Gardens. These two were willing to try anything so thanks guys!

Love this profile shot.

Could they be any more adorable? I don’t think so!

Honour and Kyle couldn’t have had a more beautiful day for their wedding at the Queen’s Harbor Yacht Club. It was evident these two were crazy about each other when we heard their story. They met on a cruise ship while still in high school and succeeded at a six year long-distance relationship through college and Kyle’s Navy career, ultimately coming together finally here in Jacksonville. It truly was an honor (haha, had to do it) being a part of their day.

Getting in some lovin’ out by the boats.

Seriously? How gorgeous are they?

The guys make their entrance.

So classic and pretty. I love the Spanish moss trees and the flower beds lining the isle.

Honour’s Grandmother did a special reading and humorous tribute to the couple.

They were so excited to finally be husband and wife!

These two have some great friends (and they’re not a bad lookin’ bunch either!)

I love the candid moments like these.

There’s no shortage of great photo ops at Queens Harbour.

The pretty details.

So in love!

Honour’s MOH has known them since her return from the cruise and gave a heartfelt toast.

Kyle fed Honour first and was very gentle, but when Honour then smashed cake all over his face, he decided to get even!

It’s always fun for the Bride to see who catches the bouquet.

Woo Woo, work it!

Enjoying a favorite tune on the dance floor.

What party would be complete without a conga line?

Thanks Honour, Kyle and family for making our job easy!

We are excited to be shooting Madalyn and Dustin’s upcoming wedding in Ponte Vedra. Madalyn is a photography lover herself and we were able to put our heads together and come up with some fun ideas for their engagement shoot. We both love classic, girly, and retro (think Anthropologie and J.Crew) so we thought it would be fun to do a modern shoot with a 1950s twist and a beachy feel. The weather didn’t cooperate for the beach part of the shoot so we were only able to steal a few photos and then escape before the wind swept us away. We then returned to the beach cottage owned by Madalyn’s Mother for the remainder of the shoot. It was great to get to know these two even more in preparation for their big day. With Madalyn’s great taste and sense of style I’m sure it will be amazing.

I love how this shot that Andy took shows off Madalyn’s blue eyes.

A playful moment captured. Success!!

I have a thing for classic blue/gray houses with red doors so this is one of my faves.

Madalyn has a great smile in this classic engagement shot.

This image has an ethereal quality to it which I adore.

I think the angle of this shot showcases the the details of the beach house and frames the couple nicely. Of course I might be just a little bit biased towards my own art ;o)

Ask these two two be silly? No problem!

Freakin’ adorable, this ones goin’ in the gallery fo shizzle.

Holding hands, oh so sweet. Check out those hot heels too. I love all things nautical.

Thanks guys for spending the afternoon with us!
