{the big day} laura + ben • jacksonville, florida

Wow! Wow, wow, wowie. When I arrived at Laura + Ben’s wedding, my jaw was on the ground with all the beautiful details that went into this extra special day. :) Not only was I in awe of off the loveliness of this wedding, but I couldn’t help but think how perfect Ben + Laura are for each other! Well, except for one little thing… Ben is a Gator fan and Laura is a Seminole fan! (I have to throw my 2 cents in here… GO NOLES!!! HAHA, Hey Laura, this may be why we get along so great! :D ) I told Ben I could forgive him for being a Gator, but I had a feeling that we were well outnumbered since Ben’s brother Danny played QB for the Gators! I have a feeling though that they won’t be a “house divided” though, as this truly was a union that was centered in Christ’s love. Thank you Laura + Ben for inviting us to be a part of your day, I know Michael was sorry he missed this one- but my Mom and I had a blast hanging out with you and your wonderful family!

Our heartfelt {thanks} go out to all those who made Ben + Laura’s day so special!

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!

This month has been an absolutely CRAAAAZY whirlwind of shoots and traveling. The end of March is upon us (wasn’t it Christmas, like, yesterday?!?) !  Nevertheless, we are 1 week away from beginning of glorious April, and we have so many awesome shoots and weddings coming up… we get giddy at the thought! :D

I still can’t believe I do this for a living. ;)  Here’s what’s coming over the next couple weeks (I knew our couples are about to chew their fingers down to nubs waiting on these ;) )

Krista + Chris (and their adorable kiddos ;) ) - getting married this November (woot woot!)

Amelia + Jeremy – getting married next May! (*at the rate time is flying, it will feel like tomorrow!)

and Ginny + Jack – getting married this *GASP* April!! :D

You’ll want to come back for all of these. Promise ;)
