It’s not often that I get a chance to shoot a wedding on the beach, much less on the GA Coast… so when Rachel and Josh asked me to shoot their wedding on Jekyll Island, my mind was literally racing around with excitement. My dad and I have an annual hunting trip that we take to Sapelo Island which is really close to Jekyll, so I have fallen in love with scenery on the Georgia coastal area. Flat beaches, mossy oak tree, cool ocean breezes…. aaaagh… I’m missing it badly right now.
Anyhow, Shalon and I made the trip to Jekyll for Rachel and Josh’s wedding and man what a trip it was. I truly believe God has his hand in this day. It’s usually very hot and nasty during the summertime and the bugs are horrible. BUT, for Rachel and Josh’s wedding, the day was blessed with an awesome breeze that kept everything cool and bugless. This made our formals trip to Driftwood Beach a very pleasurable one. In most cases, you’re fighting gnats and mosquitoes while your there.
The ceremony and reception were both held at the Beachview Club, located on right on the beach. The rooms were awesome and the scenery is amazing. I can’t wait to make another trip back (a personal trip for sure).
So on to the pictures. I ended up with a ton of great images from this wedding and I couldn’t choose just a handful of the best so I might have gone a little overboard with posting images… which means more eye candy for you…
Special thanks to my good friend, Cindy, who drove up from Gainesville, FL to second shoot this wedding with me. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE shooting with Cindy. Check out her blog if you get a chance. :) And a big thanks to my wife, Shalon, for making the trip with me.
Thanks Rachel and Josh for allowing me to be a part such a wonderful day in your lives. Enjoy the images. :-)





























By the by, this was a total idea rip from Jeff Newsom. Props to him for the light inspiration and hope he doesn’t get mad for the copycat image. :)
