All About Ballroom | St. John’s, Florida
This year for New Year’s Eve I got to celebrate with Jessica and Kevin at All About Ballroom. I started the day at a home in Switzerland, Florida where Jessica was getting ready. She wanted a small intimate wedding, so no huge bridal party, but her best friend, aunt and mother were all there to help. The home belonged to a family friend and I was so thankful when shooting details to find a gold tray. It matched her jewelry perfectly and added warmth to the photos – the purple and pink bouquet was gorgeous too. Kevin arrived early in the day to do a first look in the homeowners back yard. I know at first you would think why the backyard. However, this home had a beautiful lush yard and a boardwalk desk leading out to a creek. There was still evidence of hurricane Matthew, but one of the fallen trees helped me get off the deck to capture a nice profile shot.
After the first look we drove over to Alpine Grove Park. There we did all of Jessica and Kevin’s couple portraits. I so enjoyed spending that time with them. One of my absolute favorite pictures were taken under the dock near a large piece of drift wood. With the suns setting, we headed to meet their family and guest for the ceremony and reception at All About Ballroom. There ceremony was performed by Jessica’s uncle and given away by her grandfather. I loved how everyone dressed up for this New Year’s Eve wedding and the cake was made by the bride’s grandmother. There were so many sweet moments that really made Jessica and Kevin’s day perfect.
Thank you to all the vendors that made Jessica and Kevin’s day possible:
