Amelia and Schuyler : The Oldest House Wedding in St. Augustine, FL Part I

December 3, 2019 by Jensey Leave a Comment

My littler sister was a bride. My little sister is a wife!

It seems unfathomable, mainly because this is how I will remember her forever and ever. It’s how I remember all 3 of us, actually. I was going to post an embarrassing childhood photo of her to open this blog post but decided since she IS a Root bride, to not be mean and single her out. Instead, I’ll throw all of us under a bus. But hey, look how skinny I was! And fanny packs came back this year, right? So nothing to be ashamed of here. Moving on! <3

Thank you to our vendor friends for taking such good care of my little sister. From being treated like royalty while finding her dress at Solution’s to Jim keeping her dance floor packed, it was such a wonderful feeling knowing she was in such good hands. :)

Y’ALL, I’M BLOGGING. FINALLY. Let’s just take a minute and let that soak in!!!

I’m about a million shoots behind but I can’t think of a better wedding to get back on track than with beautiful Lisa and her Alex. <3

This was one of those genuinely unfair wedding days where it was nearly impossible to take a bad photo. Just going through the photos for this blog post had me smiling from ear to ear all over again! :) And I CANNOT thank our team of fairy godmothers and fathers enough for making this event an absolute dream come true!

This girl and this dress!! Solutions Bridal strikes again! <3

This bridesmaid reveal!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3

I thiiiiink Alex approved! <3

Fun fact about Annunciation Catholic Church: When baby Nate and baby Jensey were newlyweds, we lived in a condo down the street! At night, we’d take a then two-eyed Huck for late night walks around the grounds. :)

They could be models! Every single one of them. <3

After our church portraits got rained out, we headed back to the Ritz for reception magic and sunny portraits! :)

And then <3 <3 <3 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lisa’s planner, Carly Rose, truly outdid herself! :)

The *second* they opened their eyes to see the room they’d dreamed about! Lisa’s happy tears and Alex’s jaw-drop says it all :)

  

M A G I C .

This is their seating chart!!! How cute is this!!!!

FAVORITE. <3

If I told you this moment happened while “The Circle of Life” played, would you believe me?
