Planning a wedding can be stressful and expensive, but Derrick and Sonya, from Cape Canaveral, Florida, knew they wanted a different experience. They dreamed of a beautiful ceremony that celebrated their love, but without the fuss and high price tag. Intimate Weddings of Orlando helped them turn that dream into reality with a stunning elopement in St. Augustine!
St. Augustine, a historic city known for its Spanish architecture and charming streets, provided the perfect backdrop for their intimate ceremony. The couple chose the elopement package from Intimate Weddings, which took care of all the arrangements, allowing Derrick and Sonya to simply focus on each other.
Flowers by Lesley designed a stunning white rose bouquet for Sonya, with a matching boutonniere for Derrick. The bouquet and boutonniere’s stems were even wrapped in colors that coordinated with their outfits, adding a personal touch.
To capture every precious moment, Chris from Captured by Chris Photography made the trip from Orlando. From the heartwarming getting-ready photos to the emotional ceremony and family portraits, Chris documented their entire elopement experience. He even captured beautiful shots of the couple on the scenic Intracoastal Waterway and a charming local park filled with cannons.
Rev. Glynn Ferguson, an officiant with Sensational Ceremonies and a certified Orlando wedding officiant, worked closely with Derrick and Sonya to create a personalized ceremony that reflected their faith in God and their love for one another. The ceremony was a beautiful and intimate affair, filled with heartfelt moments that they’ll cherish forever.
Congratulations, Derrick and Sonya! Your elopement story is an inspiration, proving that a wedding can be stress-free, budget-friendly, and still absolutely magical.
