Julie and Shawn kept things simple - just the two of them, an intimate elopement ceremony at The Wedding Authority in St. Augustine. Julie wore an ivory lace dress and carried a bouquet of white and yellow roses with eucalyptus. Shawn matched in a tan suit with a white rose on his lapel. They exchanged vows on the coquina stone bridge in the Lightner Museum courtyard, surrounded by palm trees and Spanish arches, then rang the wedding bell to make it official. Afterward, we wandered through the courtyard's colonnades for portraits as the afternoon light filtered through.
