Washington Oaks State Park Engagement Session

Scheduling a July engagement shoot around Jacksonville Florida is one tough cookie-- we really got lucky with the weather. Brooke and I kept on texting each other back and forth. The forecast stated 30% chance rain, 0% chance rain, 60% chance rain, and then again 30% chance rain. Who else checks the weather as meticulously as I do? Anyways, we took the chance and drove out to Palm Coast, FL, and we really got lucky-- oh, the power of prayer! It was hot, but it was really beautiful and sunny. Washington Oaks State Park and Beach is a big gem in a small location. Wished it was a little bit closer....

Anyways, these two are SO sweet, so kind, and so in love. I hope you enjoy the photos just as much as I enjoyed this session!

Such a GORGEOUS celebration, an awesome reception, great music, talented DJ (the BEST EVER....check him out),  and such a fun couple made the best event last weekend. It sparkled in their aqua blue with a hint of red themed wedding. I was sooo glad that it just sprinkled a little outside after their ceremony. You know the saying--rain is good luck. That means if you get married in July in Jacksonville Florida, you are one lucky couple. Congratulations Elise and Chris on your Nocatee Crosswater hall wedding!
