There are some people in the world that you wish you could take home and keep. Sarah and R.J. are those kind of people. They are two of the sweetest people I have gotten to meet. I loved seeing how they put God at the center of their relationship and made him their foundation. I loved getting to know R.J.'s silly since of humor and Sarah's kind and caring heart. They are two people who truly compliment each other very well.

I have photographed many first looks before, but theirs was a very unique and special one. Standing out side the Pensacola Naval Aviation Memorial Chapel, Sarah’s excitement was dripping off of her face as R.J. was smitten with joy. I adore how their personalities truly shine when they are around each other.

AS they were surrounded by family and friends at Pensacola Naval Aviation Memorial Chapel Sara and R.J. had the most elegant ceremony. I was blown away and honored to have been allowed to photograph the moment when the entire crowd stood up and engulfed the couple with prayer and support. This one moment I hope will resonate with them throughout their marriage. I hope they will always know that their family and friends are praying and supporting them as they navigate married life together.

Before we finished up the celebration I snuck off with the newlyweds to take some of the most incredible wedding pictures along Pensacola beach. Our backdrop was the beautiful pensacola lighthouse along with Florida’s well known breath taking sunset . We had a lot of fun dipping our toes in the sand and taking in every beautiful moment.

We finished off the night with more celebrations at the Pensacola Chief Petty Offers club. I was able to take pictures of the first dance, second dance, and third dance, …… My feet did not want to stop dancing nor did any of their guests. It was an event that will be cherished for many years to come.
