Amanda & Alex were married at the beautiful Golden Ocala Golf & Equestrian Club on a gorgeously mild winter evening.  I felt so honored to photograph their special day.  They have become wonderful friends, and their relationship was beautiful to photograph.  I have photographed Amanda a few times before, at their engagement session, Katelyn & Kyle’s Wedding, and a Graduation Session with her friends.

The combination of a gorgeous venue, and people who mean so much to me, resulted in way too many favorite images.  So this wedding will be split into two posts.  Stay posted for more!

Enjoy!

Sunday afternoon weddings have a certain appeal to me.  They are often laid back and have a more intimate feel. Amber & Kevin were married on a Sunday afternoon at The White Room in Saint Augustine, Florida.  The ceremony was small and beautiful, while the reception was a great party with incredible food (french toast and bacon? yes please!).  They even rented a horse and carriage to ride off in from the reception.  To which, at Amber’s request, we rode around Saint Augustine for some portrait time with just the two of them.  Stay tuned for a peek at those!

I love, love, love when the groom looks at the bride during the prayer.  He can’t take his eyes off his beautiful bride.
