Second shooting with Amber Hughes is truly a delight no matter the occasion. Adrian and Dino were such a wonderful couple, I feel heartwarmed everytime I look at their photos. If you haven’t seen Amber’s blog post yet, hurry on over there!
I had the pleasure of spending the morning at the groom’s family home while Amber was with the bride and her ladies.
All Dino’s getting ready shots were non-scripted. I just told him to do his thing and I snapped away.

The ceremony at beautiful St. Augustine was lovely and moving.

Their bridal party found a couple four-leaf clovers at Van Dusen Gardens. Just another good sign for the newlyweds.

The decor was so classy. I adore the pewter pintucked tablecloths and white hydrangeas.

And they ended the night off with a bang! A truly unforgettable first dance.

I took a record number of photos that night and there are too many to post on here but you can check out a few more of my faves in the slideshow. Thanks again Amber for having me along!

Ahhh…beautiful! Makes me want to get married again!
Ten years ago, our photographer could barely manage the “sit in front of this marble-paper and hold very still” shot!

I’m in complete awe. I love the shots of the groom getting ready. I’m betting his bride will cherish those forever.
