On the evening of August 18th—a date that held a special meaning for Katie and Nick—we crafted a truly magical photo session right here in Jacksonville. The couple had just tied the knot at the courthouse that Monday morning, and they wanted their wedding attire immortalized in a shoot that was as unique as their love story.

We started the session at sunset, taking advantage of that soft, golden light that Jacksonville evenings do so well. With a serene marsh and a shimmering lake as our backdrop, Katie and Nick posed alongside Nick’s beloved vintage light-blue Chevelle. The car added that perfect touch of classic charm, making each shot feel timeless and intimate.

After capturing those golden-hour moments, we moved to a quiet, isolated street to create a moodier vibe. The couple stood with the Chevelle parked in the center of the road, and we played with the twilight shadows to get some darker, more dramatic shots that truly let their personalities shine.

Finally, Katie changed into a different dress, and Nick loosened up his suit so they could wade into the ocean waves. We ended the evening with some incredibly romantic, almost moonlit shots of them lying on the beach, waves gently crashing around them. The whole session was a blend of vintage flair, natural beauty, and a dash of moody romance.

I absolutely loved capturing these moments for Katie and Nick, and I can’t wait to share these images with you all.
