Elopement Highlight

Blossom & Chris’s Elopement

Downtown St Augustine

Blossom and Chris chose the Bayfront Marin House as the backdrop for their elopement, with a ceremony under the gazebo led by Rey, the owner and officiant — a ceremony that had all of us in tears. They did a sand ceremony, sealed it with a kiss, and then moved into a first dance, cutting their coconut cream cake, and popping a bottle of champagne. Christopher mentioned they don't drink much, but he handled the cork like a pro. We wrapped up the day by stopping at a few of our favorite spots on the way up to the square in downtown St. Augustine.

Thanks for looking

There are plenty more where these came from — and if you're planning your own elopement, we'd love to hear about it.
