We photographed this beautiful couple's wedding in March. The ceremony took place in a small historic church, which was busting at the seams with friends and family, so happy for them on their big day! Congratulations to you both!

A Huge shout out to my second photographer for the day, Steph, who got this great shot of the mother of the bride helping her daughter. I love the smile on her face!

I love it when the groom tears up when he sees his bride. So romantic!

Ryan & Brittany's Wedding ~ Orange Park Wedding Photographer

BethanyVargas@gmail.com (Vargas Visual Media, Inc.) — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 19:36:00 +0000

Ryan & Brittany were married on a very sunny day at the beautiful Orange park Country Club. They opted for a 'First Sight', where they see each other before the ceremony. I love it when the couple wants to do this, as it give us so much more time to get great photos! See for yourself:

I LOVE the look on the grooms face as he sees his bride for the first time!

During the vows, Brittany 'accidentally' said "For richer and richer", and this was the groom's reaction!

Is that not a great groom's cake??

One of the best parts of the night was the s'mores bar! It was a fabulous idea, and everyone loved it!

Randy & Danay's Wedding ~ Jacksonville Wedding Photographer

BethanyVargas@gmail.com (Vargas Visual Media, Inc.) — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 18:23:00 +0000

Randy and Danay are great friends of ours, and we had the pleasure to photograph their wedding last year. Danay is a beautiful bride, and I love all the details she put into the big day! It's obvious that these two are in love and so happy together. Congratulations!

I love this shot that my second shooter, Court, got of the couple dancing.

There's been some pretty awesome shoot clubs forming here in Jacksonville. Jax Shoot Club is one of those clubs, and I had the chance to join them for some bridal portraits on Jax Beach last year. Here are a few shots that I wanted to share!

Eagle Harbor holds a special place for these two, so that's where we met up to get their engagement portraits. They would frequently walk out to the dock, so of course, that's where we had to go! And that's where we got this great shot of them goofing off. =) More to come soon!

BethanyVargas@gmail.com (Vargas Visual Media, Inc.) — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 15:52:00 +0000

Randy and Danay are one of the sweetest couples I've ever known. The only thing more beautiful than the bride, was their love for each other, which I know will last forever! Here's a sneak peek.

Stay Tuned for more from their wedding!

Adriana & Craig Engaged!

BethanyVargas@gmail.com (Vargas Visual Media, Inc.) — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 15:30:00 +0000

This poor blog has been so neglected lately. We've been quite busy with weddings, engagement sessions, and WEVA. So expect a string of sneak peeks coming, and hopefully, before too long, the full posts! To start it all off, we went down to the always lovely St. Augustine for Adriana & Craig's engagement session. I've known Adriana for a number of years, and I can't wait for their wedding in November. They are such a cute couple. and were up for anything!

A Wedding in Ohio!!

BethanyVargas@gmail.com (Vargas Visual Media, Inc.) — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 01:05:00 +0000

Sam and I just returned from Streetsboro, Ohio, where we photographed the wedding of two of our friends! I just wanted to share a sneak peek of the beautiful couple.

Brian + Jacqueline = Engagement Session

BethanyVargas@gmail.com (Vargas Visual Media, Inc.) — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 00:24:00 +0000

I recently had the pleasure of meeting up with Brian and Jacqueline down in the lovely St. Augustine for their engagement session. Despite the heat we got tons of great pictures. We even went for a ride on the merry-go-round at the end!

C.J. + Katherine = Engagement

BethanyVargas@gmail.com (Vargas Visual Media, Inc.) — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 16:35:00 +0000

Last Monday we went out to TPC Sawgrass to do the engagement session of CJ and Katherine. They are such a fun couple! Despite the rain we had a blast. After the TPC, we went to the beach for some champagne, and try to catch what was left of the sunset. I can't wait till their wedding in October!

Ryan + Brittany = Engagement Session

BethanyVargas@gmail.com (Vargas Visual Media, Inc.) — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 21:21:00 +0000

We headed down to St. Augustine Saturday evening to photograph Ryan and Brittany for their engagement session. There's so many great places downtown, and they were up for anything, which made for some great pictures!

Immanuel + Nicole = Engagement Session!

BethanyVargas@gmail.com (Vargas Visual Media, Inc.) — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 16:07:00 +0000

Just when you start to think you can relax a little and take things a bit more slowly, you get sideswiped with 3 engagement sessions in 3 days! Not that I'm complaining. They are some of the most fun we've ever had on engagement sessions! On Sunday evening I met up with Immanuel and Nicole at Friendship Fountain. Even in a dress, Nicole was more than willing to scale walls and climb over benches, all in the name of great pictures! Their session was full of laughs, and I had a great time photographing them, especially since we've been friends for a few years now. Congrats to you both!

New Album! Softbound Image Capsule

BethanyVargas@gmail.com (Vargas Visual Media, Inc.) — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 16:39:00 +0000

I have a new album to add to my line-up! I'm so pleased with the quality of this one, I really think it's going to be a hit! The pages are printed on photographic paper, like the flush mounts, except without the thickness in the pages. But you can choose between a soft cover, or a hard one, with choices of leather, image cover, image wrap, acrylic, and more! The company also offers flush mount albums in a variety of sizes, and claims that they are waterproof! Check out their website, www.ImageCapsule.com to find out more!

On to the Pictures!

With this particular album, I chose the image cover, which is available in full color. When you order a hard cover, it also comes with a protective/decorative box!

The book lays completely flat!

Another shot of the layout. =)

Something that makes these albums different from the other flush mounts I offer is that they have a very small gutter between the pages. This will ensure that there is absolutely no discoloration in the crease.

David + Stephanie = Wedding Montage!

BethanyVargas@gmail.com (Vargas Visual Media, Inc.) — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 16:42:00 +0000

I apologize for the lapse in time since we've posted anything. Sam has been working hard on some wedding montages he shot earlier in the spring, and I have one here to show you! This is from David and Stephanie's beautiful outdoor wedding at the Wyndham Hotel.

Driftwood Beauties

BethanyVargas@gmail.com (Vargas Visual Media, Inc.) — Mon, 11 May 2009 16:40:00 +0000

This past weekend, we had an awesomely fun girls day with tacky prom dresses turned 'High Fashion'! It was a beautiful day, and the driftwood couldn't have been more perfect! I also want to thank my beauties for being up for anything! Climbing trees, hanging on for dear life, strutting the beach in pumps, and braving the unknown depths of the sea, all in the name of great pictures!! But it all turned out so awesome!! Enjoy =)

And a HUGE shout out to our phenomenal assistant for the day! Not only did she cary all of our crap, but she wiped the sand of our feet, helped with hair and makeup, and was an excellent hoister to get us up the trees.
