Sneak Peek

Ronald and Vanessa

October 8, 2025

St. Johns County Courthouse

What a day Ronald and Vanessa had! Even though the rain was coming down, Ronald's excitement was absolutely infectious from the moment he arrived early, ready to marry his person. We captured some beautiful quiet moments between them in those elegant hallways - Vanessa looked stunning in her off-shoulder dress with those white calla lilies, and that sweet moment when she pinned Ronald's boutonniere was pure tenderness. Their ceremony under that gorgeous floral arch was intimate and heartfelt, and when they made their grand entrance as newlyweds, you could feel the joy radiating from both of them. I loved catching Ronald's genuine laughter during portraits and that playful moment when they made a heart with their hands together. Can't wait to share the full gallery with you two - there are so many beautiful moments from your special day!
