Bridal Couture // St. Augustine Bridal Fashion Photographer

I recently had the honor of collaborating with some amazing ladies. Laurel Baker's unique, hand crafted jewelry was the inspiration for the entire shoot. If you haven't been, you must check out her boutique on the south side of St. George Street in downtown St. Augustine! A big thank you to everyone involved!

Jewelry: Laurel Baker of Anchor Boutique, Custom Jewelry and Vintage Accessories
Attire: Say I Do Bridal of Starke, FL
Bouquets: The Conservatorie Floral & Event Design
Styling: Tara Ferreira Designs
Models: Kayley Miller & Haley Welsh





(a BIG thank you to the lovely Miss Tara Yarbrough {my amazing assistant} for letting us borrow her doggy, Kimber)













I love these accessories Laurel made for the bouquets. She does custom design, so brides can incorporate their own heirlooms or ideas into creating something special for their bouquets.

Chris & Chelsea are Engaged! // St. Augustine Engagement Photographer

I met Chris and Chelsea a few months back and we immediately hit it off. They are a young military couple, just like my husband and I, so we were able to relate to each others feelings about military life and deployments. Chelsea is so sweet and shy (at least in front of the camera ;) and Chris is so obviously, completely in love with her. I loved how they were so comfortable once in each others arms. These two have a very happy life ahead of them and it was an honor to document these sweet moments.




They're a perfect pear ;)




I love the set of photos below. I had the idea for Chelsea to sort of hide behind this book, because she was so shy being in front of the camera. Afterward, Chris told us that Chelsea is a complete bookworm. So much that when she was little, her parents would punish her by taking away her books. :)
So sweet.









Congratulations to both of you! xoxo

Randy and Vickie are married! // St. Augustine Wedding Photographer

Randy and Vickie got married at the beautiful Cedar House Inn. They had a small, intimate ceremony. It was an honor and a privilege to document such a personal moment.

Vickie looked stunning.








Randy, like most grooms, was anxious before the ceremony. I love how once they were hand in hand he was so calm and confident.



















Congratulations you two! I was so happy to be there for the beginning of your lives as husband and wife. :)

xoxo,
Cheryl Joy
