St. Augustine Jacksonville Wedding Venue: St. John's Country Club

For couples who are looking for a relaxed beautiful setting that has a touch of country elegance, St. John's Country Club is the place! A short drive south of Jacksonville and an equally short drive north from St. Augustine, it is perfect for medium sized weddings. I recently dropped in on event manager Amanda Dunn and got the full tour. Their side patio or nearby green provide a lovely outdoor ceremony venue. Your guests then have a short walk into the clubhouse for your reception. The clubhouse has gorgeous hardwood with a large fireplace and vaulted ceilings. There is a lovely bridge, expansive putting green and stone entryway that are perfect portrait spots!

The food though blew me away! Sushi, grilled veggie bruschetta, pan-seared tuna on pita chips, and baked brie was to die for! Definitely give Amanda a buzz to schedule a site walk. 904.940.3200

St. Augustine Wedding Photographer: Featured on Pictage homepage!

Feeling so honored! Pictage, our print lab partner, chose one of my photos to feature on their homepage!

They asked for submissions that showed true emotion. Here is my winning image plus a screen shot from the Pictage homepage:

This is from Nick and Lisa's wedding from last spring at the Peña-Peck House in downtown St. Augustine. The bride's nephew was their ring bearer and had his camera in his pocket. Would love to see the photo he got!

Jessica + Patrick: St. Augustine Wedding Photographer

Jessica and Patrick tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony on Dec. 11 at the Cathedral Basillica of St. Augustine. The couple walked with their bridal party from the Cathedral down to the Llambias House and had a great time on the way. Their wedding luncheon at the Llambias House was so gorgeous! The weather was a perfect 68 degrees with lots of sunshine. As the afternoon went on though I don't think the guests felt the cold as some serious dancing heated up! More photos to come especially some gems from their photo booth, but here are a few of my favs so far.

Stay tuned for more photos from this gorgeous event but I loved the joy in Kris and Nichole's faces so much in this photo that I couldn't wait to post!

The Story of Alexandra and Anthony: St. Augustine Wedding Photographer

This is the wedding story of Alexandra and Anthony. I am using their grown-up names in this post because that is what they are now. Are they still that lovable boy and girl, Tony and Alex, that won the St. Augustine Record's Wedding Giveaway? Yes!! But beyond the details that gave them a free wedding, these two are wonderfully in love and that's not kid stuff.

They had been trying for quite some time to have a wedding. The Record's contest was the fourth they had entered, hoping they could have the wedding they dreamed of. Anthony has an eye disease that is diminishing his site and they did not want to wait a moment longer. The pair had been together since they really were kids at Bartram Trail High School and it always seemed obvious to them that someday they would get married. The time had come but the funds hadn't.

August 14 by far had to be one of the hottest days of the summer and all air movement had come to a halt and just hung there. But everyone was a trooper, bedecked in tuxedos and gowns, for the late afternoon wedding. The heat didn't seem to matter much to anyone really. They had waited a long time to see this day and nothing could beat it.

It was our extreme pleasure to be part of the Wedding Giveaway and part of the day Alexandra and Anthony started their new lives together. Congratulations!
