It’s finished!! I have been planning this editorial forever! Pretty much since I first read Breaking Dawn have I been wanting to see Bella and Edward get married….Last year I also did a fun twilight shoot just for kicks. And now I have finally completed Bella and Edward’s wedding! I will say it is “inspired” by the actual book characters, with some details from the 5 second movie trailer that came out in September. I had a blast planning all the little details that went into this editorial. Even using some pieces from my personal collections…

I had the pleasure in working with some great wedding vendors in Jacksonville, Florida.

A couple weeks ago I shot another wedding at Nocatee, Florida. Crosswater Hall seems to be a new popular venue for North Florida brides. You may remember this super cute couple from their winter engagement session. They had a beautiful ceremony and a super sweet reception…check out a few of my favorites capturing their day.

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.

Stephanie & Russ | Stephie Joy Photography {Newlyweds}

You may remember their wedding…well, one month later, Stephanie and Russ are back for their newlywed session! I am loving this one! From the park to the ocean…Stephanie and Russ show nothing but love!

Congratulations you two one your new life together!

Abbey + Shawn Rock the Dress (well Abbey does, anyway)

stephiejoy — Sun, 03 Apr 2011 02:28:05 +0000

Abbey and Shawn got married in November of last year HERE. They wait until it was spring to do their Rock the Dress session. And may I say, this is why I think ALL couples should do a “Day After” or “Rock the Dress” session. You are relaxed, married, and ready to have fun! We went to St. Augustine and walked around the back streets. I LOVE the scenery in St. Augustine. Here are some of Abbey and Shawn’s shots from the day.

Russ + Stephanie | Stephie Joy Photography {weddings}

The first time I met this adorable couple at Starbucks, I knew I’d love shooting their wedding. They are so in LOVE!! It’s hard not to see it when they are around each other. They planned a nice sized wedding in Ponte Vedra in April. But sometimes wedding plannning isn’t always black and white…due to some last minute changes, Stephanie called me needing to move her wedding to my next opening. Which was in a couple weeks. They cut everything that they had originally planned. But sometimes last minute planning makes for the sweetest and nice weddings. Overlooking the ocean, Stephanie and Russ got married at the Ponte Vedra Lodge and Club, in a quaint little courtyard. It was beautiful!

Congratulations Stephanie And Russ!

I met with Des yesterday in lovely San Marco. She’s going to be mommy of a sweet baby boy! I can’t wait to meet him. Des wanted to make her pregnancy memorable, so she came to me for a lifestyle maternity session (one of my faves!) Here is a little taste of her day. p.s. Hair and make-up by the awesome Faythe Mesic!

Camera Love | Stephie Joy Photography {fashion}

stephiejoy — Sat, 29 Jan 2011 03:37:02 +0000

I LOVE crafting just as much as I love photography sooooo…why not combine both? I crated these fancy little SLR camera straps, designed to be fabulous! I love fun stuff and was bored with the red and black stiff and scratchy camera strap. I wanted to dress up my camera! So this is what I came up with!

I would love one day to have photographers everywhere wearing a Stephie Joy Camera Strap! Gotta dream!

Here is the beautiful wedding of Melinda and Kipi. The got married at the waterfront Florida Yacht Club in Jacksonville, Florida. They happened to get married the same day as the air show in town. So on this work day, I got to see cool planes and a gorgeous wedding! Melinda and Kipi are so in love and their photos show it. Enjoy some of their day.

This cake looked too pretty to eat…..but it was GOOD!!

Yes, it did rain 5 minutes before she walked out…but that’s good luck!

I love the excitement on Melinda’s face.

FAVORITE shot ever!!

Thank you to Adam for second shooting with me.

I got to shoot this little 2 week old boy last week! He didn’t want to go to sleep at first, but we ended up getting some awesome shots! He was just under the easy to shoot newborn age at 2 weeks…Mom was a big help with having him fad and sleepy! Some babies just do what they want, when they want. Here are some of my faves.

Jillian + Colin Married! | Ponte Vedra Beach Wedding Photographer

stephiejoy — Fri, 07 May 2010 01:41:37 +0000

More from the GORGEOUS wedding of Jill and Collin at the lovely Palm Valley Gardens. The day was filled with on and off again rain. But thankfully, the rain backed off long enough for the ceremony and most of the reception. But I have always heard that rain is good luck on your wedding day.

The dress shot: We were able to try some really cool dress shots, thanks to the bride. Photographers LOVE it when we can take the dress outside. I believe it really showcases the dress beautifully.

The flower girl is actually Jill’s niece. She was a ham for the camera! (and oh so sweet.)

Hello bridal couture!

Jill and Collin’s dogs were in on the wedding, too. They even wore tux and veil collars!! Love it!

Collin and his lovely Mom.

^^ this is one of my FAVORITE pictures from the day. I love the best man’s face!

So sweet of him to hold the flowers for her…

Thank you Jill and Collin for having me along for you wedding day! It was so nice to meet such a sweet couple like you two. And many thanks to Alex for having me second with her. She’s a blast to work with.
