Photographing this St. Augustine wedding was one of the those relaxed days, the venue was all in one place {thats our favorite, for logistics sake}, the beautiful details, but most of all, a relaxed in love couple, who 100% trusts us, and our vision. And while we had some rain, and clouds, we also had the most amazing sunset sky, with beautiful lightning to set the sky ablaze. Since I love sunset photos, this was my favorite time of the day. Of course, we also love the time alone with the couple. It\u2019s like a little bit of a \u201ctime out\u201d and after all the busy rush-rush, the time where Hilaree and Ben get to just be with each other is amazing!<\/p>\n
Your wedding day was so wonderful, It\u2019s couples like you that make what I do worth it. Thank you both for having me be a part of your day!<\/p>\n

He had been standing with me as we watched, but he left during the grand finale. When I started to look for him, I saw that he was on one knee in front of the water with the fireworks blasting behind him.<\/p>\n How did you choose your theme? Flowers? and overall wedding design?<\/p>\n We are really laid back and wanted everyone to feel at ease. My favorite flowers are tulips and pink hydrangeas, and our florist did a fabulous job making everything look beautiful and natural.<\/p>\n What was the best part of your wedding day?

\nHow did he propose?<\/p>\n
\nWalking down the aisle with my dad as Ms. Burdette and walking back down the aisle with Ben as Mrs. Hudson.<\/p>\n
\nI want to remember all of our wonderful friends who came from near and far to celebrate with us. We will forever be grateful to all of them.<\/p>\n
\nJust relax and have fun. Try to speak to as many people as possible, and try to build in enough time to enjoy everything.<\/p>\n
\nWe are going to London! It\u2019s going to be fabulous!<\/p>\n
