Jax Shoot Club October

Here are some of my favorites from October's Jax Shoot Club meeting. Our goal for the day was portraits in harsh, mid-day lighting. Clearly mother nature thought we needed beautiful, even, filtered cloudy light instead. :O)

Our models for the day Alayne, Ashley, and Sonja were such good sports, following us into some unlikely setups.

Paulina Perez
did the gals' makeup and Sonia Garza put together some awesome doos!

Nick and Jessica at The Tasting Room

WOW!! That is all I can say about the gorgeous, intimate wedding I was a part of on Oct. 17. Jessica's father hired an accordion player to lead the family from their hotel through the streets of St. Augustine to the wedding. It was right out of an Italian novel! Nick was waiting for us with his guys and their guests in the courtyard of The Tasting Room. It was so cozy, like you were in a gorgeous home in Spain. Their pastor married them there in the courtyard in a sweet little ceremony.

Since it was close to Halloween, we did a fun family and bridal party portrait with masks. Then it was off to feast!

I love the way the Tasting Room layers their courses as to not rush their guests, as in the old world tradition of savoring your meal.

Nick and Jessica had a lot of fun with the garter and bouquet toss. Definitely not your usual fare!

Then as the night wore on, the lovely couple exited their celebration amid bubbles and streamers. A carriage awaited to take them into the night for a romantic stroll. It was lovely.

This romantic photo of Nick about to kiss his new bride is my favorite from the night. Click the link below to see a slideshow of more great moments. Cheers!
