The Greens: Rebeccah & Chad
The lovely Green couple held their ceremony and reception at the beautiful Ocean Breeze Conference Center located on Jacksonville's Mayport Naval base. It just happened to overlook Jacksonville Beach. There were several military honored throughout the evening who were both in uniform and out, so it made the night even more special by seeing so many proud soldiers present. Stunning wedding decor, food, and service coordinated and provided by Adair Currie with Your Wedding Weekender as well as the Ocean Breeze Conference Center. Thank you again to Bella Blue Photography for allowing me the opportunity to come and second shoot for your wedding! Always a pleasure working with other photographers! Here's a brief look at my shots for the evening!

Brittany & Aaron's Wedding
Nothing makes me happier than taking photographs of people in love, other than, taking photographs of the people I love who are in love! Brittany and I worked as an awesome dynamic duo for FSCJ's Campus Voice Newspaper. Through many late nights and long hours of editing oh and lots of line dancing, Brittany and I became extremely close friends. I remember one day she sent me a text asking me, "How did you know that your husband was 'THE ONE" for you to be with?" That's when I knew that she was head over heels for Aaron. At that time, I didn't know Aaron all that well, so I started drilling her with questions. Slowly but surely, this conversation headed down the path of understanding their relationship and being absolutely excited about their love.
Brittany was one of those brides you just love! She is an art major, so she has an extreme eye for detail. So for me and my camera, we fell in love with every single one of her efforts. Her proud husband spoke to me before the ceremony began, "Doesn't everything look great? She did everything herself!" As you can see, Brittany didn't miss a thing. Their ceremony was intimately held on their family property under a huge oak tree. The ceremony began with the couple to remove their shoes to imitate standing on holy ground as stated in the Old Testament of the Bible.
The couple held the reception under a beautiful large white tent with all their family and friends. Chick-Fil-A is Aaron (and I believe now Brittany's) favorite place to eat. They catered the meal. There was also a candy table set up for guest to make their own sweet treats. Brittany and Aaron both are avid rock wall climbers so their cake had a groom and bride climbing up the side of several rocks. Perfect for these two! Guests were given mason jars to drink their sweet tea tea from and to take as party favors.
I hope you enjoy the sneak peek from their big day!

I love you both and I pray that God is blessing your marriage greatly! I am so thankful that you chose me to be a part of your big day. Congratulations to you both!

Shooting with Bella Blue Photography
Wow! So I realize it has been a really really long time since I blogged. It was fun reading back through all the old posts and seeing how much my photography skills have grown in a year.
This past weekend I was privileged to shoot a wedding with the lovely Bella Blue Photography. The ceremony and reception were held at the Hilliard Mansion located in Hilliard, Florida. It is the perfect venue for an outdoor ceremony, but only if the weather is graciously in your favor. When I pulled up the sky was black and the rain was pouring down. I sat in my car debating with myself on whether to unload or to stay hidden until it all passed. Once arriving to the house I was pleasantly surprised at how beautiful the inside of the mansion actually was. Thanks goodness because the rain showed no signs of letting up....until about 10 minutes before the ceremony was supposed to begin! Since I was second shooting, I hung with the groom and groomsmen prior to the ceremony. I have learned that the guys have it so much easier than the girls when it comes to getting ready on the wedding day. Brooke, the bride, had planned such cute details that I hope to add here soon. Their colors were a ocean blue and silver. Perfect for this garden wedding.
I loved being able to assist another photographer and have fun while doing so. It also helped that this couple was absolutely adorable!!! I look forward to helping their company again in the future! Enjoy my little peek at their big day!
