Jenna & Russel’s Elopement

Lightner Museum Courtyard Downtown St Augustine St. Augustine Bayfront

The team

Jenna got ready with her mom and sisters-in-law — and Jack, her German Shorthaired Pointer, who showed up in a black tuxedo collar and bow tie. The ceremony took place on the bridge in the Lightner Museum Courtyard, with their two dogs (Jack and a white bulldog, also in a tuxedo) joining for their first official family photo right after the vows. Portraits followed around the colonnade and palm-lined grounds, and then they headed into downtown St. Augustine — umbrella in hand — for a few rain-soaked street shots. The kids in attendance kept themselves busy on the lawn while the adults wrapped up the evening.

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.
