Nights of Light, Nights of Magic.

Nights of Lights attract so many wonderful couples to our little historic town and why wouldn’t it. The temps drop, the air is crisp and the town is filled with holiday magic! What a perfect elopement setting for Chris and Terri who traveled from my hometown of Vero Beach to experience Saint Augustine and to join their lives together. It was the sweetest and most intimate day for their wedding.

“We woke in our lovely St. Francis Inn suite and had morning coffee in front of the fireplace in our robes and slippers. It was lovely to revisit the little shops in St. Augustine! We drank from the Fountain of Youth and returned to our suite to dress for our wedding. Mary, our wedding coordinator, was exceptional in every way! Zach, our photographer, was extremely imaginative and creative,” shared Terri the bride.

Chris dressed and waited in the Inn with a glass of champagne! Zach arrived to take pictures of me in the suite and escorted me to the Inn. He played Falling in Love as I walked to join hands with Chris. The ceremony was lovely and we exchanged precious words that were only meant for each other on our wedding day! The ceremony ended and wearing our rings...we exited to Over the Rainbow. We danced and popped a lovely bottle of champagne to enjoy on the horse drawn carriage that was to take us to the gazebo in the square for Xmas light pictures. Well...the horse would not go there and as we froze...we "hoofed" it to the gazebo for pictures. We returned to the carriage that was a quarter mile away and were whisked off to Collage for our wedding dinner! Lovely, romantic and delicious from start to finish! Uber served as our chariot to return to the Inn for champagne, wedding cake and the warmth of our fireplace...a beautiful day to remember.”

What a wonderful night. Thank you both for letting Monarch Studio be a part of your day!
