Elopement Highlight

Samantha & Daniel’s Elopement

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

Magnolia Avenue Vilano Beach

Samantha and Daniel kept things simple and got married at the St. Johns County Courthouse, exchanging rings and reading vows from a handwritten card in front of a white draped backdrop with roses and greenery. Afterward we headed to Magnolia Avenue for portraits under the mossy oak canopy, both of them in white with Daniel in blue shorts and sneakers. We wrapped up at Vilano Beach, where they posed on the rocks and out on the sand with a small wildflower in hand as the light went soft.
