Today we are excited to share Marc and Dawn’s beautiful St Augustine wedding with everyone. St Augustine is a very popular city to get married in North Florida. There is just something about the style and charm of the oldest city in the United States that makes it a great place to get married. The day and the venues Dawn and Marc chose for there wedding were wonderful. The weather was perfect, one of the rare days in Florida with blues skies without a chance for rain. Dawn got ready at the Cedar House Inn, a charming little bed and breakfast just south of the main plaza. The gardens and balconies made for perfect backdrops for us to use to get details of the rings and her shoes and dress. Marc got ready in the Casa Monica Hotel, one of the most majestic hotels from the late 1800’s in St Augustine.
The best part about a wedding in St. Augustine is the close proximity of everything, both the locations they got ready at were just a short walk to the Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine the location of the wedding ceremony.This basilica’s architecture is amazing , and the ceremony was beautiful. The reception location was just a short walk down St. George Street to the Cuna Street at the Tasting Room, it was so much fun walking through all the tourists with a bridal party. People were so nice and excited for Marc and Dawn that they got numerous congratulations from strangers on the short walk. The reception was great they hired an amazing Spanish Guitar player Dennis Fermin to provide background music while everyone enjoyed the food and mingled with the newly weds.
Marc organized a special surprise for Dawn for their exit from the reception, he arranged to have a horse and carriage arrive as they exited to take them on a romantic ride around town. He planned on having Severine ride with them so that they could stop at their favorite places in St Augustine to take beautiful couple portraits, which came out amazing. It was so much fun photographing their big day and we are super happy with how great the photos came out.
