Rose & Dritans wedding in St. Augustine FL

Rose and Dritan chose to do their ceremony at the The Lightner Museum Courtyard Wedding |St. Augustine Florida. They began their day getting ready within the quarters.

Then they proceeded to doing a first look at the chapel. The nerves were rising up to that moment Dritan turned around and the joy filled the room through their smiles and tight hugs.

The Wedding Authority kept looking at the radar as this was a rainy day in Florida and we all know how unpredictable those days can be. Furthermore the couple chose to do the ceremony outside. Luckily I brought about 8 bubble umbrellas that covered the girls throughout the ceremony. Moreover they got the ceremony they always dreamed of in the lightner courtyard. The light rain was actually romantic and whimsical.

After the Ceremony we maximized our time as the guest headed to A1A for cocktail hour and we grabbed all the beautiful portraits as well as family and wedding party portraits.

We ended the night at A1A where family and friends came together to celebrate these two. Dritan is of Albanian culture and Rose is of Irish culture so as you can imagine it was a PARTY ! I had the best time capturing their love and story.
