Amanda + Joel | Stephie Joy Photography {engagements}

I am super excited about this couple’s wedding coming up this month. From the first time I met Amanda at Panera Bread for her bridal consult, I knew we would hit it off! Amanda’s personality is so bright and vibrant, she is going to make a beautiful bride! Then on to their engagement session. Amanda and Joel are so fun together! Their chemistry is awesome. I love couples where I don’t even have to coach them on posing. I just told them to pretend I wasn’t there, and act themselves. And they did just that! I can not wait for their fun filled Club Continental wedding in Orange PArk, Florida.

Kendall Brooke Album Shoot | stephie joy photography | Jacksonville Portrait photographer

Last month I shot some images for Kendall. A Christian music artist in Orlando, Florida. She is recording an album of contemporary christian rock. Kendall is the sweetest girl! She was in town singing at a local prayer meeting and we decided that was a good time to meet in Downtown Jacksonville to shoot her album. Thankfully, the storms from earlier that day subsided enough so we could get some awesome shots. Here are a few of of my favorites.

Jill + Brent Married | Nocatee, St. Augustine Wedding Photography

Last weekend I was able to second shoot Jill and Brent’s wedding with my friend Szarmack photography. I showed up to the new wedding venue in Nocatee Florida, Crosswater Hall to see Jill’s style was rich with gold and deep purple. It was beautiful! Very pretty to photograph. Her awesome caterer’s, D’vine Cuisine had prepared yummy meal, and had an awesome COFFEE BAR, my FAVE!! Here are a few of my favorites!

Jill’s make-up by the lovely Tracey Upson…she does a beautiful bridal look that is flawless in the photos.

LOVED her shoes!!

Coffee bar….yeah, I’m in love with coffee.

So the next set of photos are of the beautiful couple and the killer sunset we had that night. It was awesome! We fought through the bugs and sweaty heat, but I knew the images were going to be awesome. We always love when couples are open to getting the creative shots. After all these are what you are going to have to remember your day!

Congrats Brent and Jill on your wedding.
