Washington Oaks Garden State Park Engagement | St. Augustine & Jacksonville Wedding Photographer

Jan 4

Brij and Nicole chose one of my all-time favorite locations for their engagement session: Washington Oaks Garden State Park in St. Augustine, Florida. This spot is truly one of the most stunning engagement photo locations in North Florida, with its manicured gardens, iconic coquina rock shoreline, and coastal views that feel timeless and romantic.

We ended their session at sunset at Matanzas Inlet, just south of St. Augustine Beach / Palm Coast, and were treated to one of the most beautiful sunsets I’ve seen to date. The soft light, hanging trees, and lush greenery at Washington Oaks Garden provided the perfect scenery for their engagement session.

Their wedding will be a fun and upbeat multicultural, interfaith celebration taking place on at the end of January 2026, and it will also be my very first wedding of 2026, which makes it even more special to me.

The morning will begin at the St. Johns Event Center Courtyard in Jacksonville, Florida, where Brij and Nicole will host a meaningful interfaith ceremony followed by a luncheon with their closest family and friends, and a cocktail hour and wedding reception at The Ramallah American Club of Jacksonville.

I cannot wait to see what 2026 has in store for me, and am so grateful for everything that 2025 brought to my photography business.
