Sneak Peek

Elizabeth & Jason

February 28, 2026

Elizabeth and Jason blended Vietnamese and American traditions for their wedding at the Lightner Museum in St. Augustine. The bridal party wore custom ao dai for the reception, and Elizabeth changed into a traditional Vietnamese gown with a gold khan dong headpiece alongside Jason in a blue silk ao dai. Earlier in the day, they explored downtown for portraits — Elizabeth's cathedral-length veil caught the breeze in front of Flagler College, and they ducked into the Lightner's Russian Baths for some of the most unique shots of the day. The reception wrapped up with the bride crowd-surfing, a sparkler exit down the museum steps, and a cake topped with a tiny black cat peeking over the edge.
