St. Augustine Wedding | Shannon + Justin

St. Augustine Wedding | Shannon + Justin

What a day! Shannon + Justin are married! Their St. Augustine Wedding took place at The White Room. Right off the river and in the heart of St. Augustine, this was a perfect location for their romantic wedding. Their ceremony was held in the Villa Blanca, which I know Shannon + Justin were oh so excited about! The neutral tones the Villa Blanca has to offer are so simple, yet so elegant. The red roses added a perfect pop of color to their ceremony. After the “I do’s” we headed to the Grand Ballroom for their reception. Friends and family danced and partied all night long to celebrate the newlyweds. Congrats Shannon + Justin! Take a peek at their day below! Don’t forget to leave comments and well wishes to the couple!

Grand Cypress Orlando Destination Wedding | Lauren + Erik

Grand Cypress Orlando Destination Wedding | Lauren + Erik

Congrats to Lauren + Erik who had a Grand Cypress Orlando Destination Wedding at the Hyatt Regency this past weekend. Lauren and Erik traveled from New Jersey, with friends and family, to celebrate this time in their lives. Florida welcomed them with blazing heat and, of course, just a little bit of rain. But what else do you expect in Florida?! The Grand Cypress Hyatt is so beautiful too. The amazing pool with a waterfall and the garden paths made the perfect location for their wedding portraits. Lauren + Erik decided on a first look and it was nothing short amazing. This moment is a growing tradition that some couples opt in pto get a couple private moments together before it’s time for the ceremony. The vows Lauren + Erik wrote for each other were so sweet and romantic, again, amazing. After the ceremony was over, the small rain shower left us with a beautiful sunset and a nice breeze. The decor for their reception was a lot of fun. With love for traveling, Lauren + Erik included this in their decorations. They even had cute luggage tags for the guests to take home with them.

We worked along side with some awesome vendors: the DJ, Soundwave Entertainment, videographer, Lemus Cinema and the wonderful wedding planners at Just Marry Orlando.

Congrats Lauren + Erik! View a sneak peak of their day below and leave some love and well wishes in the comments <3

Romantic Port Orange Engagement

Romantic Port Orange Engagement, Brandy + Kirk

Port Orange Romantic Engagement session with Brandy + Kirk! It is always awesome when another talented photographer asks me to photograph their journey! Brandy is the owner of Don’t Blink Photography. We started our evening off at the Port Orange City Center. It is always so fun to explore the City Center. Brandy and Kirk are so sweet and loving which made it so easy! Then we took our session over to Ponce Inlet Point Park where it gets even more romantic. There was a perfect sunset that night and the weather was all around perfect! Brandy and Kirk are getting married in July on Hammock Beach and I could not be more excited!! Congrats Brandy + Kirk!

Central Florida Destination Wedding – Mark Dickinson Photography | Becky and Mickey

Central Florida Destination Wedding

Becky and Mickey

I haven’t spent much time exploring Pennsylvania but after learning that Mickey works building bridges, I wanted to know more. There’s more than 25,000 bridges in PA, and knowing when I’m up there in August that I might just be driving across one that he worked on is pretty cool. Becky and Mickey came all the way from Pennsylvania to have their beautiful Central Florida Destination Wedding at the Estate on the Halifax, so planning their wedding was primarily done through phone and email conversations! They were married outside on the lawn and had bright and fun summer colors which consisted of blues and corals. After their ceremony, we walked around the Estate, and ultimately we took to the covered bridge at the estate to make a few photos on.  Becky and Mickey also made donations to the American Heart Association, Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, in lieu of wedding favors. The bride and groom had an awesome time with their guests dancing the night away, followed by a fun glow stick exit, and some awesome night shots. Mickey has some tattoos of the solar system/universe, so for their night shot, I had to knock the socks off by making the shot facing South, capturing Mars, Jupiter, and other well known celestial objects. Take a look at some of the photos from their beautiful wedding below and leave them some well wishes.

Congrats again Becky and Mickey!

Central Florida Destination Wedding

This was such a fun wedding to work on, we love seeing such cute and unique details that make a couples day so special! This is a new way to shoot a grand exit here and we see more sparkler exits than glow sticks. They don’t emit as much light so I decided to do a long exposure of the guests throwing the glow sticks in the air. It turned out pretty neat, and we hope you think so too!

Cape Coral Wedding | Nicki + Joe

Cape Coral Wedding – Nicki + Joe |  Westin Hotel Ft Myers

For a Cape Coral wedding, you may say the grass is greener on the other side, especially when you’re in Florida. The weather cooperates about 10 percent of the time, but when it does you can’t beat it! With an elegant location like The Westin the architecture and layout make you want to photograph everywhere. On top of it, while at the hotel, their planner from the Westin was an absolute pleasure to work with. Generally you don’t get that so that was refreshing! She was very helpful and accommodating to our needs in navigating the grounds and the hotel. Nicki and Joe’s wedding took place on the lawn just overlooking the gorgeous river complete with clear skies and quiet sailboats. During the ceremony, Nicki and Joe had a very special moment in memory of their lost loved ones in a butterfly release. Moments like these even make a photographer tear up because it’s so beautiful! Family members remembered during a ceremony guarantees not a dry eye in attendance. But the ceremony also had a lot of laughter and visible love, and sunshine! I scouted a few locations for their photos prior to the wedding and you’ll see below which spots we chose. I can’t thank you guys enough for letting me be your photographer. Guests and family please share this blog instead of screen shots, it helps the bride and groom with our rewards program:)

We hope you enjoyed looking through these photos as much as we enjoyed making them! It was fun to travel to the west coast of Florida for a little change of scenery. Congratulations again to the newlyweds!
