With every intentional detail and heartfelt exchange, Julie and Nick’s River House wedding reflected their story beautifully — timeless, joyful, and deeply personal. The River House, nestled along the Matanzas River in historic St. Augustine, offered the perfect backdrop for their elegant March celebration.

Their day began with an emotional first look beneath the soft Florida sun. That moment — filled with laughter, happy tears, and quiet joy — set the tone for the rest of the celebration. Julie and Nick’s connection radiates warmth. Simply being around them makes you feel at ease.

Later, during the reception, guests discovered one of the most thoughtful touches of the day. At each seat, a handwritten note from the couple waited — a personal expression of love and gratitude. It was a small gesture that spoke volumes about who they are: present, intentional, and kind. In a world that moves fast, they chose to pause and truly see every person there.

Their outdoor ceremony took place as golden light danced across the water behind them. With the river just beyond them and their closest loved ones gathered nearby, Julie and Nick exchanged vows in a setting that felt both peaceful and powerful.

As evening fell, the celebration came alive. Music played, laughter echoed, and guests danced under the stars. The energy was infectious — the kind of joy that fills a room and lingers long after.

Julie and Nick are unforgettable. They love deeply, give freely, and create space for others to feel seen and celebrated. Capturing their wedding day wasn’t just meaningful — it was a true joy.
