mar-a-lago club wedding by joy marie | starr + jacques | palm beach

Starr & Jacques have a beautiful love story! They met in Paris, and then had a whirlwind romance that took them all over the world, and culminated in them tying the knot at the regal Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida. The Moroccan Henna Party the night before at Flagler Museum was a fitting precursor to a wedding day that had all the signs of a fairy tale wedding- a stunning couple, beautiful Jewish traditions, a glamorous location and sunshine that broke through the rain clouds, almost on cue, as Starr’s dad began walking her down the aisle! It really was a glorious day!! Mazel Tov, Starr & Jacques! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of such an amazing day, and all the very best to you in your new life together in Paris!!

white room wedding | meredith + steve | st. augustine photography

What an amazing day!! So, I LOVE contrast! I think it’s something I am always subconsciously searching for when I shoot…contrasting light, colors, sizes, textures- you get the idea. I was beyond excited to head down to St. Augustine, Florida for Meredith & Steven’s White Room Wedding.  St. Augustine is the oldest city in America, built by the Spanish in 1740-1742. It has some INCREDIBLE architecture that’s rarely found in our country.  It was just the perfect backdrop for the youthful Meredith & Steven- CONTRAST!!  These two are beautiful, fresh, adventurous and just the sweetest people ever!! They also happen to be a part of one of my FAVORITE families from one of my favorite weddings a couple of years ago!!  Thank you Meredith, Steven and your wonderful families for allowing me to, once again, be a part of such special day!

key west wedding by joy marie…melorie + art

You may remember Melorie & Art from their fabulous Los Angeles engagement session. I knew from the first day I met these two that their Key West destination wedding was going to be off the hook!! This wedding was ALL that and so much more!  The day began with an intimate Catholic ceremony at the St. Mary Star of the Sea Catholic Church, witnessed by family.  That was followed by a quick couple’s session around beautiful Key West, and then an outdoor ceremony at the gorgeous Reach Resort, overlooking the blue-green Atlantic. It doesn’t get much better than that for a destination wedding. No detail was overlooked- from a local cigar roller serving up his finest at the reception- to a custom-made ice bar- to a surprise fireworks show that Melorie & Art put on for their guests. Such an incredible wedding day with amazing friends & family. Melorie & Art, thanks for letting me be part of such a FAB day! What a great wedding! Your comments are always welcomed. I’d love to hear from you!
