Josh and Diane share a kiss barefoot on Vilano Beach with their reflections in the wet sand

Sneak Peek

Josh & Diane

December 22, 2025

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.
