Emma & Ricardo are Married!! - Jacksonville FL Wedding Photographer

Congratulations to Emma and Ricardo!! Even though I have only known Emma for a couple of months before her wedding day, I know she has a sweet and lovely soul from the time I first met her. I'm so excited that she has chosen me to photograph her special day with her husband, Ricardo. Their families and friends were wonderful, and they sure knew how to party :) I had a blast photo-shooting this wedding, and it was great to be back taking wedding pictures at The Hilltop Club! I think the last wedding I took pictures there was back in July 2008! The venue is still lovely and quaint, and I'm thankful that I got to photograph Emma and Ricardo's sweet wedding there! Their little boy is soooo adorable by the way, and I love that he liked to smile for the camera ;) It was a great night, and I'm happy to be a part of it!

Congratulations Emma and Ricardo, and I wish you both nothing but the best in life!!

XOXO
