Madison and Kyle’s St. Augustine Elopement

Madison and Kyle eloped in St. Augustine amongst their closest friends and family after a crazy adventurous life together and a new baby on the way. Their day was full of so many special moments and stunning backdrops throughout the Ravine Gardens and downtown St. Augustine. Their elopement was truly unique and breath taking. It's wonderful that Madison's uncle was able to officiate their ceremony, and that they were able to capture such special memories with their family and friends. As we made our way to St. Augustine, we were hoping for the rain to hold off. We were lucky to have a few minutes with no rain and got some breath-taking photos at the Lightner Museum and the Flagler Courtyard. We certainly had some luck on our side, too, being able to take advantage of the Casa Monica Hotel when the rain started. It's amazing how a seemingly unfortunate event can be turned into something wonderful. After talking to the manager, we were aloud upstairs for some fun and intimate elevator photos! As our time together wrapped up, Madison and Kyle headed to their reception to celebrate their marriage with all their family and friends!
