Any time my couples use a videographer, it’s always fun for me to check out their wedding video.  CollabCreation Films was the wedding videographer for Jenna & Scott’s gorgeous New Year’s Eve wedding at the Casa Monica.  Eric and Aranya are one of the best videographer teams I’ve ever worked with and I really love the way they capture the events of the day.  If you don’t have a videographer, definitely check them out.

I had an amazing New Years Eve!  This year, I spent it shooting the super fabulous wedding of Jenna and Scott.  I met Jenna and her mom earlier this summer and have been really excited to bring in the New Year with them.

Their day was nothing short of spectacular!  These people know how to throw a party!  Their family and friends traveled from all over to be with them on their wedding day in historic St Augustine.  One of the perks of what I do is getting to meet wonderful clients and to be a part of an amazing party.  Who doesn’t love that?!

Thank you sooooo much Jenna & Scott (and your sweet, sweet families) for allowing me to photograph your wedding.  I honestly enjoyed every single minute of the day!

XOXO

Jenna is gorgeous!Warm apple cider was served as the guests arrived to the ceremony.
What a cool idea to have a cigar roller at their “after party”!  Love it!Great ring shot opportunity.  I couldn’t pass it up!The Flagler Ballroom at the Casa Monica was turned into an “after party” lounge for the guests to bring in the New Year.  Amazing!  

Typically, I’ll shoot the engagement session anywhere from 1 year to 3 months before the wedding.  Since Jenna and Scott live out of town, it was impossible to do their shoot anytime other than the week of the wedding, so that’s what we did.  I always enjoy the time I get to spend with my couples before their big day because not only is the shoot fun, it allows us the opportunity to work with each other in a laid back setting prior to the wedding day.  Next to getting beautiful pictures, making my couples feel totally comfortable with me is a top priority.  Here’s a few of my favorites!

FYI:::::::

I’ll be blogging their AMAZING New Years Eve wedding later this week!
