Autumn and James’ Magnolia Avenue engagement session was a last minute decision but a great one!

When Autumn and James initially reached out to me, we were planning to shoot their session at the Castillo de San Marcos, where they got engaged! I loved the idea! But the day of their session, I arrived early and found about 200 hundred people milling around the fort. So, a change of plans was necessary. I mentioned Magnolia Avenue to Autumn and she was game- I am so glad she was! Their Magnolia Avenue engagement session has quickly become one of my favorites!

Magnolia Avenue is a prime location in St. Augustine because of its obvious beauty and southern charm. So if you’re planning a session there, be prepared for a lot of traffic and the occasional pedestrian. It’s totally worth it, though!

James and Autumn arrived to their session with smiles on their faces, which always makes for a great start to a session.
They are totally adorable and just fit each other perfectly. I’m used to loosely posing my couples, but I never felt like I had to with these two! They just naturally fell into place and I was just there to capture their sweetness.

I asked James if he’d mind twirling Autumn around a few times just to ‘test it out’… SO CUTE. It was totally worth asking him just to see the smile on his face while he twirled her.

These two cuties are making things official next February and I am so dang happy for them!

BEHIND THE LENS

ABOUT STACY

When my husband, Jeff, and I were planning our wedding, we hired a photographer whose work was beautiful. Fast forward a few months, she ghosted us. Took our money and vanished. Two months before our wedding, I'm panicking, trying to find another photographer who was available on our very popular date- 10/10/10, and whose work didn't completely suck. I was laughed at over the phone by one photographer, whose name I will withhold but will FOREVER remember. He obviously thought my desperation was amusing, but I couldn't see the humor through my enormous tears. 

After having already spent our entire photography budget, I was forced to hire the only person who was left available, and for fairly cheap. He definitely over-promised + under-delivered. It was a sad experience, one I never want you to have to go through, which is why I am so passionate about ensuring my couples have the MOST amazing wedding photography experience humanly possible, with me.

If you are looking for a photographer who values YOU and your entire wedding photography experience, I'm your girl.
I will be by your side, making sure you feel totally comfy + content while you're in front of my lens. I promise your wedding day photos will be timeless, beautiful, and everything you've dreamed of.

I honestly can't wait to meet you, so get in touch and let's do this! 

If you have found your way to me, it's probably because you've been searching for the right photographer, but none of the others have felt like 'the one'. I get it. I've been there, done that.
