Geoffrey & Katherine Coleman had a gorgeous wedding on a beautiful, breezy spring day. The bridal party pictures began with the candid “getting ready” photos and dreamy detail shots at Jacksonville’s Riverfront Hyatt Regency.

These crisp green and golden apples in the bridal suite were a perfect trio to display the wedding rings. Geoffrey and all his groomsmen had custom cuff links and embroidered names for a dashing touch to their stylish, charcoal gray suits.

Katherine’s elegant wedding gown was a show-stopper and she looked so pretty with her long veil and princess tiara. The Tiffany “I Love You” charms with their K and G initials were a charming gift. The happy couple had many custom details that incorporated their chic spring theme and color scheme of bright greens.

The festivities moved over to Jacksonville’s University Club on the south bank of the St. Johns River. Breathtaking views of the skyline and waterways – great backdrops for the wedding cake and photos of the bride and groom.

Ashley and Jamie traveled down from West Virginia to have their St Augustine engagement photography session in our beautiful, historic downtown. I enjoyed photographing the happy couple around Flager, Lightner Museum, Casa Monica and charming side streets throughout St Augustine. They are looking forward to their dream wedding this week in sunny Palm Coast, Florida. Jerry and I are so excited to be photographing their special day at the extraordinary Hammock Beach Resort.

The letter ‘H’ was a great prop to incorporate into some pictures of the soon to be Mr. & Mrs. Hamilton. Ashley also brought a metal ampersand “&”, a cute “I will always love you” sign, and a burlap flag “She Said Yes” banner for unique and fun and romantic photos.

Great time of year for proposals and engagement photos (click to see more sessions here).

Katie and Andrew are one of our “Favorite” couples! They are just too cute for words. Their passion for life and for each other radiates in these wedding day pictures. Jerry and Karen Favorite had a wonderful time photographing their church ceremony and TPC Sawgrass wedding photos.

The wedding day began at Chets Creek Church with a heartfelt ceremony. Katie’s gown was stunningly elegant and the flowers with soft pinks were gorgeous. Andrew and his groomsmen cleaned up pretty nicely too. And while everyone looked formal and fabulous, the bridal party added a twist with casual Converse shoes.

The memorable reception took place at TPC Sawgrass. The Mediterranean style clubhouse is a picture perfect location for photos, both formal and fun! I believe we may even have caught a few super heroes on the run. But all joking aside, they are truly a beautiful couple inside and out. We are so happy to have been chosen to photograph their wedding and capture all these special moments.

Devin and Ashley will be getting married in exactly one month at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens. We thought it would be a great time to reflect back on their stunning engagement session photographed by Jerry at the Zoo.

As the umbrellas might give an indication, it was certainly raining on the day of the photo shoot, though it didn’t dampen their spirits.

Ashley and Devin are amazing and we just love their smiles! The rain added an intimate and romantic feel to their engagement photos. Check out this cool giraffe trying to stay dry under some palm trees. And the carousel brought out their wild side…

Jacksonville San Marco Wedding Photographer | Favorite Studios | Photography by Jerry Favorite

Kari and Greg had a romantic ceremony at the San Marco Preservation Hall in downtown Jacksonville, Florida. Jerry Favorite is a second generation, Jacksonville San Marco wedding photographer. His parents were photographers with a studio in San Marco area and it’s always wonderful to shoot in his hometown.

Kari and Greg had a small, intimate wedding ceremony with only two hours of photography. They were amazed at how many wonderful pictures Jerry photographed in such a short time. From the getting ready and details of the bride’s jewelry and bridal gown. Even the dress hanging up on this charming wood door.

The bridal party dresses were a variety of blues and purples and greens. The soft shades and deep tints were intertwined throughout the details and breathtaking flowers by Bold Blooms. Love the “something blue” with her stunning shoes! And check out the gorgeous, strapless dress.

We have a long shot list of images we typically photograph during a wedding. But it’s the natural, candid moments they will always remember. They bring back such memories and feeling of joy from their special day. This wonderful couple and family all enjoyed working with Favorite Studios and Jerry Favorite. And even came back years later for baby pictures!

These iridescent bubbles during their exit went fabulously. Their soft purple hues were beautiful, colorful and fun. You can just see the love and happiness in Kari and Greg’s smiles!
