Rich and Rose's Wedding - St Augustine FL Wedding Photographer

You may remember this beautiful couple's fun engagement session a couple of months ago! Rich and Rose are perfect for each other, and I had so much fun taking their engagement photos at Friendship Fountain and Treaty Oak Park. I just knew then that I will have a blast at their wedding :) Sure enough, their big day was amazing just like this couple, as well as both of their families and friends! 

It was great to see many familiar faces at their wedding! Grateful for this couple, and I am truly honored they chose me to photograph their sweet and beautiful wedding in St. Augustine :) Loving all of the red roses too!  Be sure to check out the slideshow link below for more fun photos!

Rich and Rose recently went to Bora and Bora for their honeymoon, and here's wishing this couple a lifetime of happiness and many more fun adventures together! :)

THEIR SWEET LOVE STORY:

How did you guys meet?

We met through a mutual friend at The Ritz...classy! We were both dating other people at the time.

Describe the proposal:

Rich originally planned to propose on Thanksgiving Day in front of the fam, but he couldn't wait. So when we laid down to go to bed that night...he went downstairs. He came back up and we were laying in the dark. He hugged me and said "Do you know how much I love you?" Then continued on telling me all the reasons why he loves me. Finally he turned on the light, hopped over me and pulled out the ring and got down on one knee and popped the question. :) I didn't have my contacts on so I could barely see the ring but my first reaction was OMG, it's so big! Lol. It was perfect!

What is your favorite thing to do on your date night?

Eat out and have cocktails at new restaurants!!  Well...for me it is. A good movie at the theater never hurts either!

What do you love about him so much?

I love how selfless and giving he is. He rarely says no even if he doesn't want to do something or eat somewhere. He always says I just want you to be happy. :)

What do you love about her so much?

"Rose is always so happy to see me when I get home."

What is your wedding invitation like and where did you go to get it done?

Modern style...red and gray...we wanted invitations to represent us and our personalities....fun and not so formal. My friend Michelle printed them at her work ;)

What are your wedding colors and why did you guys choose that color palette?

Red and gray....it's the same color as our living room...and red is both our fav color.

Describe your wedding cake:

Delicious!! Lol. Four-tier cake...simple yet elegant with real red roses cascading down the side.

Describe your wedding flowers:

Red tulips on half the tables and red flowering branches on the tall tables...accented with a little bling. My bouquet was a mix of white flowers with red tulips and roses.

What is your First Dance song, Father/Daughter song, and Mother/Son song at your wedding reception?

"She's Everything" by Brad Paisley for First Dance.
"Dance with my Father" for Father & Daughter dance.
"A Mother's Song" for Mother & Son dance.

Where did you go for your honeymoon?

Napa Valley, San Francisco, LA and Bora Bora!

What are you looking forward to in the future together?

Sarah & Bill are Married!! - Saint Augustine FL Wedding Photographer

Congratulations to Sarah and Bill! Their wedding was beautiful just like this couple :) I've been looking forward to their day since Sarah told me that they were having their reception at the White Room, which is one of my favorite places! Sarah told me that Bill and all his groomsmen were going to wear their uniform, and I just knew it that would be great for pictures! Their wedding date must have been a very popular one because I saw five other brides in St. Augustine on that same day :) It was pretty busy in Downtown St. Augustine, and I'm glad we were able to get some photos done in front of the Lightner Museum before it got too dark :)

Bobby and I had a great time at their wedding. Sarah, Bill, their families and friends sure knew how to party! Everyone was on the dance floor, and I don't think there was a time when this fun couple even sat down to take a break :) Be sure to check out their slideshow for more pictures!

Enjoy!
XOXO

The bridesmaid had fun with the sparklers :)

The sparklers were lit for a very long time except for one. The other girls were able to draw hearts for another picture :)

THEIR LOVE STORY:

How did you guys meet?

We met on eHarmony three years ago.

Describe the proposal:

Since we spent the Christmas holiday with both our families, he decided to plan a night away in Amelia Island for NYE. We had a nice dinner in downtown Fernandina then went back to our room at the Amelia Island Plantation. At the stroke of midnight, he took me out on our balcony to dance to Frank Sinatra (my favorite) and watch the fireworks down the beach. On the third song, our song, "The Way You Look Tonight," he asked me to to look down the beach to see if the fireworks were still going, when I looked back to him, he was on one knee and asked me if I would make him the luckiest guy in the world! I, of course, said yes!

What is your favorite thing to do on your date night?

We love to have a glass of wine and just talk to each about anything and everything. We like to hold hands and just stare into each others' eyes. One of our favorite things to do on date night is take a stroll on the beach.

What do you love about him so much?

I love Bill's kind spirit, his spontaneity and the way he can make me feel like myself when I'm with him. He makes me laugh, cry and share my feelings with him and not keep anything from him. He can read me like a book. He truly is my best friend, and I don't know what I would ever do without him.

What do you love about her so much?

Most beautiful person I've ever met, both inside and out. She is unbelievably cute, caring, giving, goofy, intelligent, and loving. Allows me to be myself. Extremely easy to love.

What is your wedding invitation like and where did you go to get it done?

The invite is very simple. One sheet card stock with a blue damask, also had RSVP card, envelope liner and card with wedding website. This was designed by one of Bill's friends as a wedding present, EVince Design.

What are your wedding colors and why did you guys choose that color palette?

Blue, silver and white. We thought these colors would look best with the Naval uniforms; bride's favorite color is blue.

Describe your wedding cake:

Square three-tiered cake from Publix with vanilla cake and strawberry filling, top will have "S" monogram and flowers, simply decorated with ribbon and brooch.

Describe your wedding flowers:

Mixture of different blue Hydrangeas.

What is your First Dance song, Father/Daughter song, and Mother/Son song at your wedding reception?

The Way You Look Tonight by Frank Sinatra - First Song
What a Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong - Father/Daughter Song
Unforgettable - Nat King Cole & Natalie Cole - Mother/Son Song

Where did you go for your honeymoon?

We haven't planned that yet.

What are you looking forward to in the future together?

A life filled with love, respect and team work. We look forward to raising a family together and living life to the fullest.
