Elopement Highlight

Josh & Diane’s Elopement

Photographed by Rob & Jill Futrell at St. Johns County Courthouse

Vilano Beach Magnolia Avenue

Josh and Diane started their elopement day at the St. Johns County Courthouse with close family gathered around. His mom got emotional as they exchanged rings, and their ceremony was followed by a group hug. From there, they headed to Magnolia Street where a peacock popped by for a picture during their portrait session under the oak canopy—classic St. Augustine. They wrapped up at Vilano Beach with the afternoon sun and just enough wind to keep things interesting.
