Wedding Inspiration

 the Nuckols Wedding At the Lightner Museum Was The Definition Of Timeless Luxury. The Day Was Filled With Elegant Design, Rich Music, And Personal Touches That Elevated The Entire Day. Set Inside One Of St. Augustine’s Most Iconic Historic Venues, Every Moment Felt Grand Yet Intimate, Modern Yet Rooted In History. The Day Began With A Romantic First Look In The Courtyard, Surrounded By Arched Walkways And Lush Greenery That Created The Perfect Setting For A Quiet Moment Between The Couple. The Indoor Ceremony Followed, With Soft Lighting, Stunning Architecture, And An Energy That Felt Reverent And Warm. Throughout The Evening, Luxury Met Celebration. A Live Saxophone Player Set The Tone During The Reception, Adding A Sultry, Elevated Vibe To The Space. Later In The Night, Guests Were Surprised With Late-night Snacks, Crispy Fries And Artisan Gelato, A Fun, Elevated Twist On Comfort Food That Kept The Energy Going Strong. They Had Some Of The Most Stunning Details, Postcards From Their Travels As Their Guestbook, Thrifted Broaches For The Mens Boutonnières, The Bride Even Thrifted Long Sleeve Shirts And Embroidered Her Bridesmaids Names Onto Them, And She Even Embroidered The Inside Of The Grooms Suit Jacket With A Sweet Note. We Took Full Advantage Of The Museum’s Stunning Interior And Exterior For Couples Portraits. The Vibe Was Classic, Romantic, And Refined. Every Image Felt Cinematic, Framed By Warm Light And Timeless Backdrops. The Night Ended With A Private Last Dance, Sparkler Exit, And The Couple Walking Off To Their Hotel. From Start To Finish, The Nuckols Wedding Was A Seamless Blend Of Style And Heart, Proof That The Best Weddings Are Equal Parts Beautiful And Deeply Personal.

i Have Had The Pleasure Of Knowing Celeste For Many Years Now. She Is Such A Gentle And Creative Soul, And I Was So Honored When She Asked Me To Be A Part Of Their Wedding Day. 

celeste And Chris Met At His Birthday Party. A Mutual Friend Had Invited Celeste, And The Sparks Flew That Night. But It Wasn’t Until A Few Months Later When The Same Mutual Friend Asked Her To Join Chris’s Karaoke Night, That Things Started Happening. She Had Never Done Karaoke And Thought It Was Not A Fun Way To Spend Time, But She Wanted To See Chris Again! So She Went. After An Unexpectedly Fun Night, They Exchanged Phone Numbers Over Venmo.chris Knew Celeste Was The One On Their Third Date. “in Spending Time With Her, I Saw That She Showed Grace When I Was Brash, Demonstrated Patience When I Was Restless, And Saw The Best In Everyone (literally, Everyone!) When I Expressed Skepticism. I Knew That Celeste Would Always Push Me To Be A Better Person. Four Years Later, She Continues To Challenge Me Positively, And I Have Grown And Matured In Ways I Thought Were Not Possible,” Chris Said. 

this Couple Is Inspiring In Many Ways, And They Continued To Inspire During The Wedding Planning Process. Celeste Single Handly Designed And Planned The Entire Wedding. She Also Custom-designed Her Dress, The Flower Girl’s Dress, And Other Details From The Day. She Hand-dyed 50 Yards Of Cheesecloth For The Tables, And Hand-dyed, Cut And Sewed All The Silk Chiffon And Charmeuse Ribbons For Bridesmaid’s Bouquets And Tables. Celeste And Her Mom Spent The Summer Gathering Dried Foliage, And She And Her Friend Both Grew Flowers With My Wedding Colors In Mind. Celeste Hand-painted The Green Arch And Floral Motifs Used In All The Paper Goods And Signs, And Her Talented Father Turned Them Into A Gorgeous Suite Of Invitations.it’s An Honor And Pleasure To Know These Two And To Be Able To Capture Their Wedding Day.
