Frank and Debbie are Married! {Jacksonville Wedding Photographer}

Engagement· everything· Weddings

18 Sep
Ceremony: St. George Antiochian Church

Reception:
Maggianos

Brides Dress: Nicole Miller

Bridesmaids Dresses: White House Black Market

“We are so in love, like, crazy in love”…these were the first words Debbie told me about her and Franks relationship. I couldnt have said it better myself. I am so, so lucky in doing what I do to be surrounded by all sorts of love. The newly engaged, the newly married, the newly born, families in love, families celebrating love, all sorts of love. These two have a love all their own. A love that wraps them up so compleltey. A love that you can physically see burning in their eyes. They love each other. That is all. They will love each other forever, “until the end of the world” as one of their very favorite songs states. When I left their wedding that night Debbie told me “Your family now”, that made me little heart almost burst, I would be beyond lucky to be included in such an amazing, generous, loving, and warm family. Frank and Debbie, your love for each other is so real, so raw and unfiltered. I hope your passion will always burn as bright as it does right now. Thank you so much for welcoming me into the most important day of your lives. I can’t wait to watch your story unfold, and (As per Dave Matthews, and a song I know you both adore) watch as you “teach your children to fly”…

Frank and his family have a special tradition, the Groom gets shaved and a haircut on their wedding day. Special Shout out to my second photographer Eric for capturing the guys pre-ceremony while I hung with the girls.

The Bride and Groom opted to see each other before the ceremony, so that they could get to their reception right away! We had lots of rain that day, but I dont think the rain but a damper on this moment.

Here’s a little “Out take”. I told Frank to whisper a little something into Debbie’s ear…then she looked down and realized the videographer had mic’d him. Here is their reaction. Must have been pretty good Frank!!

Frank and Debbie’s ceremony was probably one of my favorites of all time. Full of ceremony and ritual and history. Beautiful.

If you have followed me for a minute I am sure you If you have followed me for a minute I am sure you would recognize this woman. When I photographed her Wedding years ago I had no idea how happy I would be to have @mrsmakeitrainka in my life!!!! She is an incredible Woman and Mom and a million other things. She has been such a wonderful friend to me and I am crazy thankful to know her. At our last content shoot (precovid and still with a chill in the air) we had a little fun with some video and I threw together a little something for her with some images I have taken over the years. My edit skills are lacking but it was so fun to create and show another side of her! Shout out to another client and dear friend @shopacutabove @brittneypatty for letting us use your perfect #jaxmural
I had so many caption for this photo of my beautif I had so many caption for this photo of my beautiful couple who married the day before our State sheltered in place. So, lets keep it real. I am one month out from my first post Covid “big” Wedding. I have photographed a few elopements since the world fell apart (in more ways then one..) I am anxious to get back to beautiful gowns, love, laughter, family. With all that has happened in this world in the last few months I realize these events will never be the same, but I see them as reasons to believe in the future, to believe in faith, hope and love.

I have been sheltering in place. I have been hiding from social media. It just became to much. If you know me you know I wear my heart in my sleeve, nothing is ever “just business” it is always personal. I hold peoples worries and fears on my own shoulders right along with mine. My heart was breaking, the industry was falling apart and we started fighting a war that should’ve been over 100’s of years ago. At first I was afraid of not working for months, then I became fearful and afraid for loved ones who were diagnosed with Covid, then I became worried because my beautiful boys mental health will forever be affected by this and I had to choose being a Mother over my business for a short time, then I fell apart when I saw what the world was doing to beautiful humans who deserve every opportunity in life no matter their skin color. I was afraid. Heartbroken. I placed my son in front of every report of protests to reinstate everything I have taught him his whole life. We talked about Americas ugly history. We talked about kindness, empathy, loving people for who they are. He just kept saying “Why?”. I finally said what do you mean “Why”???? He had tears in his eyes and said why would people hurt someone because of their skin color”. Exactly. Why? I will never have the right words. I just know that it is my BIGGEST job to teach this child. Black lives matter, even if he doesn’t see color, and I pray he will always keep his kindness and compassion and continue on to fight for peoples rights.
