Sami + Justin
I’m sorry Florida, I think I owe you an apology. I’ve been trashing you in my head for my entire life, thinking that all you had to offer was alligators, humidity, and the “Florida man” archetype. I’ve now seen parts of Fort Lauderdale, Lake Worth, West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Jupiter, and Wellington and can safely say I’m officially a snowbird. Spending almost two weeks of winter in your warm sunshine has softened my ashy, dried skin back to a springtime shine.
White Trail Farm Wedding Photography
We first met Sami and Justin in Brooklyn for their engagement photos in November in Williamsburg. We kept it quick and casual because engagement sessions are more about getting to know each other than shooting really heavy. We knew that Sami and Justin’s wedding was going to be a blast when we stopped off at Talea Beer Co. and grabbed a pie at Best Pizza before heading back to Northport. So when we pulled up to White Trail Farm in Jupiter, Florida, this past week we knew the kind of celebration it was going to be!
White Trail Farm is a sprawling green pasture that features: a tranquil pond, animal sanctuary, a stunning variety of flowers, a Spanish-style villa, and customizable indoor and outdoor barn space. We navigated the property with a golf cart and could not get enough of every inch of this place. The wedding planner, Rachel, and her team turned this property into a dreamlike place to celebrate Sami and Justin’s wedding.
A Literal Golden Hour
When Heather and I typically talk about golden hour we expect the light to last 10-15 minutes max, depending on cloud conditions, time of year, and horizon lines. We expect to work fast and efficiently, changing our settings on the fly. So when we pulled Sami and Justin for a few golden hour photos we expected our typical 10-15 minute interval and were pleasantly surprised that it lasted almost a full hour! This is most likely because we are used to shooting in mountains or in locations more north of the equator than Florida. I guess we'll just Have to shoot more weddings in Florida in the winter!
Calling All Snowbirds
Do you live in the northeast but want to get married in Florida or another state in the south? Do you want to have the same photographer for your engagement photos as your wedding but are not sure where to look? Well Heather and I are officially snowbirds and would love to cover both of your events in both locations. We are open to waiving travel fees for couples who want consistency in their photography and service, and do not want to hassle with tracking down multiple photographers. So let us do your fall engagement photos in the Hudson Valley or atop a snowy mountain before we all head down south to celebrate your wedding in the warm sunshine!
