Suzanne and Josh: St. Augustine Wedding Photographer

Wowee! Suzanne and Josh are hot stuff! Their March wedding seriously rocked! They tied the knot at the Lightner Museum in a sweet little ceremony with 50 or so guests. Josh was in his usual suave self and dipped Suzanne during their first kiss. Awesome!

The couple had their reception at Old City House across the street. It was such a cute venue with all the partying in the court yard under the stars.

Now if you saw their engagement session we did, you'll remember that Josh owns a super hot roadster. It was front and center parked in front of the Old City House. The groomsmen decked out the bumper with beer cans and "Just Married" soaped on the rear window.

I loved how much their personal style was reflected in their wedding. From the feathers in Suzanne's hair to Josh's suspenders and slicked back hair. But most importantly the look on Josh's face when Suzanne and her mom rounded the corner was pure love. I think there were even a few tears that were being blinked back. So happy for them both. Congrats!

Angela and Ivan: St. Augustine Wedding Photographer

I love a gal who makes a list and keeps shopping until she finds it! Angela spent tons of time shopping Etsy for the perfect details for her and Ivan's wedding day. She even found the gorgeous wrap that matched her dress perfectly and added so much flair to her strapless gown.

Portraits were very important to Ivan and Angela. When we met for our engagement session last year, they brought props and a list of ideas. For their wedding they opted to do a "first look" where Angela tapped him on the shoulder so they could have photos of them seeing each other for the first time. They also scheduled in enough time for us to take a leisurely walk through downtown St. Augustine making some really beautiful images.

Their ceremony and reception was held at the ever gorgeous and intimate Tasting Room. Being able to have your favorite restaurant close their doors and hold a private party just for you is such a great way to celebrate your wedding!

They also incorporated Angela's Korean heritage into their ceremony with the tradition of the groom giving the bride's mother a set of wooden geese. This symbolizes his devotion to her daughter since geese mate for life. Angela also gave chestnuts to Ivan's mother symbolizing the number of children they would have which made everyone laughed when Angela suggested she take a few out of the box. :O)

We also got to debut our awesome new photo booth at their wedding. But stay tuned for a post on just this nifty new feature to our studio!
