    St. Augustine Engagement Session

    Jessica and Kevin are getting married this November! I have known Jessica since we were both 5 years old in dance class together but hadn't seen her since our freshman year of college. Last month she contacted me about shooting her wedding and I couldn't have been more excited to reconnect with her. Jessica and Kevin met while working for the same company here in Jacksonville five years ago. What was just an office romance quickly turned into true love. Its easy to see how much these two adore each other. We had so much fun trekking around historic St. Augustine for their engagement session and topped the night off with margaritas and some authentic Mexican cuisine. Doesn't get much better than that!

    Here are a few of our favorite photos from their shoot!

    Kevin had her ring custom made to match the ring Jess wears in memory of her father.

    jessica looks so beautiful! looks like good times. my favorite is the one on st. george street (?)- it's like how everyone was doing those shots in nyc, with two people standing still and everything else whizzing past them. i dunno, it was some music video. anyhoo, this seems like a very old-florida version of that.

    Awesome shoot you two! I love how you captured their playfulness! I love every shot but my absolute favorite is the one where they are sitting in the big window and you can see artwork inside- very cool!
