What’s more romantic—wedding or vow renewal? Tough question, right?! All I know is that Shamell and Anthony’s vow renewal at the Garden Club Jacksonville was amazing and I’m so glad I could capture it for them! When I talked to Shamell, we knew it was meant to be. All it took was one phone call for us to click and we both knew I had to be the one to document this special event….All that was left was to talk Anthony into it, LOL! I’m happy to report that after their engagement/family session, he was totally on board!

Vow Renewal at the Garden Club Jacksonville

This incredible couple have been married for ten years and they have three oh-so-handsome boys. Shamell always wanted a beautiful wedding, so she and Anthony decided to do just that for their vow renewal! I hadn’t documented a wedding at the Garden Club Jacksonville, but I loved it! The hall was beautiful and the grounds were absolutely amazing. The weather really had our backs and even gave us a gorgeous sky at sunset for our pictures on the river. Wow!

Shamell was the most gorgeous bride! Seriously–stunning! No wonder Anthony couldn’t take his eyes off her! She and her bridesmaids looked like they just stepped out of a magazine. Do they know how to work the camera or what? And I loved the bright colors she chose!

Another Special Surprise!

Shamell and Anthony’s vow renewal at the Garden Club Jacksonville, as special as it was, wasn’t the only cool thing happening that day. Shamell’s grandma was also turning 86! Obviously, we couldn’t pass up the chance to celebrate that too! Totally loved her—she is as spunky as they come and was all about the birthday song and really boogied down!

We had so much fun all day! Honestly, I wish the party was still going! Shamell and Anthony, I LOVED meeting you and your beautiful family and capturing this incredible milestone in your lives together. Ten years and it’s obvious your love story is still going strong!
