The White Room Wedding, St. Augustine, Florida

The White Room in St. Augustine was the perfect setting for a truly elegant and luxurious wedding. Everything about the day felt so timeless — the bridesmaids wore beautiful champagne dresses, and the groomsmen looked sharp in classic black suits. The soft, romantic details and the view of the water made it all feel like a dream. As a St. Augustine wedding photographer, it’s days like this that remind me why I love what I do — capturing all the little moments that make your wedding day unforgettable.

St. Augustine’s Night of Lights Proposal

Proposal Photography | St. Augustine – Proposing During St. Augustine’s Night of Lights. If you’re planning to propose during St. Augustine’s Night of Lights, you’ve chosen an enchanting backdrop for a magical moment. Recently, I captured a proposal on the busiest night of the week, Saturday, flawlessly navigating the bustling streets and glowing lights.

The Night of Lights offers a vibrant atmosphere, but the crowds and low lighting can pose challenges. With years of experience photographing proposals and engagements in St. Augustine, I ensure every detail is beautifully documented. From the proposal moment to a mini adventure around the city’s most picturesque spots, I help couples create stunning memories.

Not to worry, I’ll also pose you along the way, making sure your photos look natural and chic. Plus, get ready for a fun date-night vibe after the big moment—it’s all part of the experience!

Let me turn your Night of Lights proposal into a timeless story you’ll treasure forever.

Best Places to Propose in St. Augustine
