Bonnie & Jason’s St. Simons Island Engagement | Destination Wedding Photographers


Meet Bonnie & Jason.  These two wildlife and nature enthusiasts met us in beautiful St. Simons Island, GA a couple of weeks ago for their engagement session.  The scenic beaches and rural state parks were the perfect setting for these two.  They both love the outdoors and have worked in wildlife management for years.  We shot amongst the ruins of Ft. Frederica, explored some of the surrounding marsh and ended by shooting along the beach during sunset.  It really doesn’t get much better than that!

Both Bonnie and Jason are such sweet and gentle people, we instantly connected with them.  I know I say this so often, but we really are blessed with incredible couples who we just can’t help falling in love with.  That is one part of our job that never gets old.  Next month, we will be spending the weekend in Sapelo Island, GA with these two for their wedding.  It’s a rural barrier island not too far from St. Simons that you can only get to by foot ferry.  This means no cars allowed… just us and our gear.  We are really excited to spend time getting to know their families and capturing such a special day in their lives. Here are some of my favorite images from their engagement session.  Thank you Bonnie & Jason for taking time out of your spring break to spend the day with us.  See you in a few weeks!

    Melanie : Thanks everyone for all the sweet words. The setting was gorgeous and the couple are just as adorable as they appear to be. Gwen, that is her rehearsal dinner dress and she really wanted some photos in it on the beach since we won't be any beach photos on her actual wedding day. Cory... I really love that image too. Its all Brad on that one. He always gets those super fun angles. Terrica, you are right that entire area just oozes with natural romance. It was so inspiring for the shoot.

    Bonnie Denard : Hey guys! Thank you to everyone for all of those sweet comments! Mel and Brad make an awesome team and are so amazing to work with. They are so laid back and they make you feel so natural and relaxed. Jason and I both had a great time on the shoot and I really think it shows. Mel and Brad were able to capture our love for each other and for the outdoors, which is not easy considering they had just met us that day, but the entire shoot is so "us"!! They totally nailed it! Thanks again for all the comments! :) And thanks especially for the super awesome work! I can't wait to see what Mel and Brad do with Sapelo!
