Susan and Jeremy were married under a chuppah in the shade of a centuries-old tree at the Santa Fe River Ranch in Alachua. They are an amazing and entrepreneurial couple, with Susan being co-owner of a cupcake cafe — and the baker of her own wedding cake! — and Jeremy being the co-founder of an independent gaming company.

Their reception was held in the pasture in a clear tent under a beautiful blue sky, with guests enjoying Susan’s sweet handiwork.

Our headpiece editorial for the Spring-Summer edition of Jacksonville Magazine BRIDE is featured on Style Me Pretty Florida today. It was one of my favorite shoots to date, with hairstylist Casey Powell and makeup artist Carrie Wilson creating soft, beautiful looks to go with the accessories of local designers and dresses from Bella Bridesmaid and Daniel Thompson Bridals.

Kristina and Stephen were married in an outdoor ceremony in San Marco under the trees in Lillian S. Davin Park, circled by family and friends.

This wedding was very special to me because Kristina is my cousin and I was so happy to be there to see her and Stephen married and also to share the day with my family.

Margaret and Chris were married at Timuquana Country Club in an outdoor ceremony by the water with a lovely view of downtown Jacksonville.

I knew they were a fun loving couple from the time I spent with them for their engagement shoot, and I loved watching Chris make Margaret laugh through out the night.

I am so pleased to announce that Agnes Lopez Photography has been selected as a 2013 winner of The Knot’s Best of Weddings for wedding photography in Northeast Florida.

This is the fifth time I have had the honor of being voted the The Knot Best of Weddings and I can’t thank my clients enough for trusting me to be their photographer.

We traveled down to a historic jewel of St. Augustine, The Lightner Museum, for the Spring/Summer “Day at the Museum” bridal editorial for Jacksonville Magazine BRIDE. The Lightner is really an unbelievable space, with so much preserved from its Gilded Age heyday as the Alcazar Hotel.

Meredith and Juan came up from Orlando for their engagement session in St. Augustine. I’m looking forward to seeing them again in the fall for their wedding at the Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island.

Allison and Dan were married on the lawn behind the TPC Sawgrass clubhouse in a unique, sunkissed late-afternoon ceremony in which their vows were performed by both a deacon and a rabbi.

The weather report was expecting rain but Allison just knew it was going to be a beautiful day and she was right. The afternoon could not have been more perfect and I think it was the first time we ever had the golf course all to ourselves for pictures.

One of the best things about working with couples who have great families and great style is that their events turn out so beautifully. I had the pleasure of photographing some weddings late last year that showed just how lovely Ponte Vedra Beach’s venues can be.

The Weddings Illustrated website’s Real Weddings section now features Jamie and Andrew’s TPC Sawgrass pearls and crystals-themed wedding.

Style Me Pretty Florida features two Ponte Vedra Inn and Club weddings with lovely and unique takes on having an open-air evening reception at the Surf Club.

Lily and Graham’s ceremony was held in the new oceanside courtyard at Ponte Vedra Inn and Club.

Shannon and John’s wedding had an amazing attention to detail (and a visit from the Krispy Kreme doughnut man).
