Ashaki and Embry’s Crane Cottage Wedding | Jekyll Island, GA

Make up: Daren for Glamourface Makeup
Flowers: Gay Whatley Floral Design

Ashaki and Embry were married in a stately outdoor ceremony on the lawn of Crane Cottage at the Jekyll Island Club Hotel. The whole event fit them perfectly; they truly are the epitome of style and sophistication.

From the ceremony being officiated by her father to Ashaki being serenaded by her sorority sisters to her two stunning wedding gowns — matched with the cutest pink Kate Spade shoes — the entire event was fantastic, with so many great moments and details.

In a fun and nostalgic nod to the graduation ceremony from their college days at Emory University, the guests toasted the couple with ice-cold bottles of Coca-Cola.

Jenna and Perry’s Engagement Session | Jacksonville, FL

Jenna and Perry met up with me to do their engagement session a few weeks ago. We braved the heat, bugs, and biting ants for their session.

I am looking forward to going back to Jekyll Island at the end of September for their wedding.

Jason and Kerry-Ann’s Miami Beach Wedding | Miami Beach, FL

Miami Beach, FL
Ceremony: St. Joseph’s Catholic Church
Reception: Deauville Beach Resort

I am so honored that Jason and Kerry-Ann chose to have me come from Jacksonville down to Miami to photograph their wedding. They were married in a Catholic ceremony in her hometown of Miami. After the ceremony they treated over 300 guests to an elaborate reception full of great entertainment.

While the Dragon Dance, a traditional ceremony believed to bring good luck to the couple, was a really exciting part of the night I still can’t get over their surprise first dance! It’s no wonder their close friends refer to them as a unit (“Kayson”) because their choreography was tight!

Here is the video of their dance (taken by a groomsman). I have to pre-apologize for being in the way some of the time. Kerry-Ann and Jason kept the dance a surprise from everyone (including me).

Skip ahead to about 1 minute in for the real fun.

Melody & Dennis are married! | Jacksonville, FL

Jacksonville, FL
Ceremony: Blessed Trinity Catholic Church
Reception: The Omni Hotel
Make-up: Kimtasha K. Armstrong

Melody and Dennis had such a touching ceremony. I think one of my all time favorite wedding moments was during the ceremony when Dennis started to tear up and Melody gently reached over and wiped his tear away. It was so sweet.

The guests were treated to a fantastic reception at the Omni Hotel in Downtown Jacksonville, highlighted by Melody’s brother leading everyone to a new line dance to Michael Jackson’s “Rock With You.”
