Sarah Beth & Graeson | Rosemary Beach FL Engagement

Sarah Beth & Graeson | Rosemary Beach FL Engagement

As I travel, I take note of all the romantic places I discover. I'm blessed to have one of them right in my backyard. (Give or take an hour!) The gulf coast of Florida's panhandle is home to the most gorgeous beaches. Jonathan and I went to the Caribbean islands on our honeymoon. We thought it was beautiful, but I think we've been a little spoiled by our gorgeous ocean views near home. I was so when Sarah Beth and Graeson decided they wanted their engagements at Rosemary Beach. Their family has a beach house nearby, so it was the perfect backdrop for their love! Sarah Beth and Graeson are like two peas in a pod. I don't think I could even imagine them apart! They are incredibly natural together, which only makes sense for a couple who has been in love a long time. I'm so excited to be a part of these precious highschool sweetheart's day this summer! Until then, enjoy these images of how gorgeous they are together!

Lindsey & Drew | Santa Rosa Engagement

Lee (19 of 34)

Have I mentioned that I'm so ecstatic that Spring has arrived? Because I am. Winter was long and dreary, but the warmer weather has brought so much pretty with it, including this sweet engagement session. I've known Lindsey and Drew for a few years now. I remember thinking how perfect they were together when I first heard they were dating. Some people just "go" together and when you think about them you can't imagine anything more perfect. That is definitely the case with Lindsey and Drew. Side by side, they are so natural. I think I speak on behalf of everyone who knows them when I say that we've been waiting (scratch that, dying) for them to get engaged. We all knew it was coming, because like I said before, they're perfect together. We couldn't be more thrilled that you two are tying the knot. After that you can get on making adorable babies! (Just kidding! But seriously...) I'm so happy that I have the immense pleasure of being on this journey with you guys! If your engagement session is any indication, your wedding is going to be such a gorgeous celebration!

Lindsay & James | Soft, Classic Wedding

Lindsay & James | Soft, Classic Wedding

Lindsay and James are one of the sweetest couples I've ever met. I can't help but smile when I watch them interact together. After such a beautiful engagement session, I had no doubt their wedding would be timeless and gorgeous day as well. Lindsay was a vision in her classic lace gown and had us all enthralled. It was the sweetest February day, surrounded by so many wonderful people who came to celebrate their sweet love. I'm so thankful I was able to be a part of these memories.

From this day forth...

From this day forth...

One of my favorite parts of a wedding day is the vows. I never tire of hearing them because they are perfectly timeless. It is so powerful to watch two people, hand in hand, gazing into each other's eyes and pledging their lives to each other. From that day forth, they are not two people but one. It's such a sacred moment. I remember saying our vows on our wedding day. I actually messed up and recited, "with this wing" instead of ring. I blame it on the nerves. Standing there in that moment felt so heavy, so wonderful and very surreal. This was the moment we had waited for during our engagement and on the other side of it the rest of our days awaited. We knew there wasn't a fairytale on the other side or that we'd ride off into the sunset with no worries or problems to come thereafter. For better or worse? We didn't know. The moment we left that alter, commitment started as well as the moment by moment decision to choose each other. The beauty of marriage isn't love, although that part is wonderful. It's the choosing day after day after day that marriage is worth it and that the vows they made that day are worth keeping. From this day forth...

Sarah & Scott | Romantic St. Augustine Wedding

There's something about St. Augustine that captures my heart every time I visit. Maybe it's the cobble stone streets, the beautiful architecture or that it has my favorite ice-cream place in the world. It is a city of romance and an absolutely perfect place to wed the love of your life. When I met Sarah last year I knew this was going to be such a sweet and gorgeous day! I wasn't wrong! I loved getting to know Sarah and Scott's sweet families as the day progressed. I swooned over Sarah's delicate lace gown, her lush florals, sweet flower crowns, gold-edged invitations and so many other things. I could go on and on, but I'll leave you with a few highlights from the day.
