Earlier in March, Michael + I were so excited to get to head on over to Jacksonville and visit with our friends Amelia + Jeremy who are getting married next May! They are getting married at the Cummer Museum and Gardens… oh my goodness. This place is A-MAZING. When we walked in to view the venue and shoot their engagement photos, our jaws dropped. It is stunningly gorgeous, it looks like something right out of a fairytale. Seriously, amazing venue and I never knew it was right here in Florida! I am SO excited to get to go back there with Jeremy + Amelia in just a few months to shoot their {almost} newlywed session- YES FOLKS- they are getting dressed up in their wedding best just to do a whole session before the wedding. Did I mention how much I love them?

We also got to go to some really amazing other locations to shoot in, Amelia + Jeremy had so many great ideas and places that were special to them, we love it when couples make a session truly about them!

We started out at the Jacksonville Library, which is super special to A + J because they are both working on graduate degrees (alright, go ahead with your smarty pants ) and spend a lot of time there together.

We made a “pit stop” at the Cummer Museum. Love love love.

AND THEN, we were off to the Jacksonville Zoo! I haven’t been to the zoo since I was about…7?

You HAVE to ride the Merry-Go-Round at the zoo. It’s not an option. Plus the guy working there will let you ride for 274373762764 times non stop

A +J, thank you so much for hanging out with us all afternoon, we really had a great time and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
