In looking back over last summer's weddings (when it was nice and warm), I pulled up Logan and Aaron's photographs taken at Marineland in St. Augustine. Marineland's Dolphin Conservation Center boasts a spectacular oceanfront setting for such a special occasion. These out-of-towners and their guests flew in from all over for their destination wedding. They enjoyed the beautiful beaches and interacting with the dolphins!

Everyone always asks us, "What are wedding web cards"... So, here are some of them! They are simply 3.5x2.5 photo cards from images we photographed during an engagement session (or sometimes from a bridal session). We include our website and the login information to the bride and groom's personal proofing section. We typically bring the photo "web cards" with us on the day of the wedding to be placed on the guest sign-in table (or with the wedding favors). Family and friends enjoy having an extra memento, plus they can go online to view the photos (usually up before you return from your honeymoon)!


Here is a selection of engagement photographs (taken by either Karen or Jerry) used for some of the wedding web cards last year:

What better way to announce your engagement, than with a great "save the date" photo card!? If your family is anything like ours, they want to know as soon as possible when anything important is happening so they can plan on being there! Save-the-date announcements are a perfect way to make sure your important family and friends have enough notice to reserve your special day in their calendars and to schedule any necessary travel plans. An image of you two from your engagement photo session is a wonderful first impression to your upcoming event!

We have full design and printing capabilities and we enjoy creating custom save the date cards for our happy couples. Our typical size is 5x7 photo cards, but we can do any size you want. They come with envelopes and the option of adding a magnet. We can design the card to your style and color scheme. Here are a few samples:

I was revisiting Danielle's bridal portrait images Jerry photographed at Epping Forest Yacht Club last spring. My goal was to choose one photo to enlarge and print for our bridal show display. As usual, this became a difficult task as I found a dozen or so I just love and all of them would make for a perfect enlargement. I must say, Jerry really knows how to take advantage of a great location like Epping Forest. There are endless possibilities for original poses and settings. Jerry's lighting skills never cease to amaze me (virtually zero adjusting was required). Of course, Danielle is a beautiful subject with a contagious smile!

Julie made a beautiful bride and the Lightner Museum makes a lovely backdrop for any bridal session. If you're looking for a classic location for bridal photographs, our nation's oldest city, St. Augustine, is rich with gorgeous architectural structures and lush landscapes.

We love babies! And now that our three are all "out of diapers", we're frequently looking to get a "baby fix".  Baby Kiersten was just adorable and we know her parents have been enjoying this beautiful blessing!



 

 
 

Three cheers for Holly and Daniel "Dewey" Byrd on their wedding last spring at The Hilltop Club in Orange Park, Florida. We had fun taking pictures with them during their engagement session around St. Augustine and Vilano Beach, and throughout their beautiful ceremony and reception. Here are the montage album pages we designed that tell the story of their special day.

Congratulations to our happy couple, Allison and Hilton Smith, who were married in October at the Club Continental. The historic club on the St. Johns River is an ideal spot with it's lush landscaping, water features and architectural elements. This is also the location we choose to photograph her bridal session. They were a pleasure to work with from our initial meeting to their engagement session, wedding and of course during these bridal photos. We use a variety of lenses, lighting techniques and a little post-production to create a wide variety of images. Allison radiates beauty inside and out!

From our family to yours, we wish you all a wonderful end to 2009 and a joyous new year!

Our family is so important to our lives we have created a tradition of photographing our children and sister's family together annually. It's the perfect opportunity to capture our family growing and changing, having fun and just enjoying spending time together. These pictures we will treasure forever.

Jerry Favorite Photography’s custom, archival photo albums are truly one-of-a-kind treasures.  For over six years we have been designing“Montage Albums” which are a creative collage with multiple images on each page.

We create beautiful albums from the special images captured of your wedding, baby or family. Our goal is to produce amazing albums. From the custom layout design in Photoshop to premium, archival printing and binding on our state-of-the-art equipment, we do it all and do it well. We offer three sizes: over-sized 11x14, standard 8x10 and mini 5x7books. The flush mount, pages are ultra thick and durable. There is no gap between the pages, creating a wonderful seamless spread. We carry a variety of hard bound album covers, from full photographic canvas to picture windows... Leather and metal cover upgrades are also available.

Our industry of photography has made drastic changes away from the darkroom through the years. Now, we can offer a quality service that takes us back to the craftsmanship of the darkroom. Creating albums by hand, one at a time, with the integration of technology and classic book binding techniques, we develop original photo books.These are truly priceless masterpieces.

 

These are Katie and Kris's album pages from their wonderful wedding last summer at Casa Marina in Jacksonville Beach.



We generally include a spread (two pages) from the happy couple's engagement session.



Jerry & Karen had the pleasure of photography this wedding together, enjoying everything from the getting ready to the ceremony, reception and final goodbye.
