KELLEY + JIMMY
MAGNOLIA AVE + HISTORIC DOWNTOWN, ST. AUGUSTINE DURING NIGHTS OF LIGHTS
This weekend, Kelley and Jimmy will say "I do" in the beautiful, historic city of St. Augustine, Florida.
Like many modern love stories, Kelley and Jimmy’s began with a swipe. But their story is a little extra special—they matched on two dating apps! Fate wasn’t letting them miss each other.
A message on the app led to their first date —a date that lasted almost four hours. They talked, they laughed, and their waiter even assumed they had been together for years. From that first night, Kelley and Jimmy were inseparable. Their connection was effortless, their conversations endless. They quickly met each other’s friends and families, and the way they seamlessly fit into each other’s worlds was the true confirmation—they had found the one in each other.
When it came time to take their relationship to the next level, Jimmy planned the perfect proposal at Piedmont Park in Atlanta. He surprised Kelley with a breathtaking view overlooking a lake—an incredibly rare private moment in a normally bustling park. As he got down on one knee, a photographer captured the magic, and their closest friends were waiting to celebrate afterward.
“He is so extremely thoughtful and kind to everyone he meets. He makes everyone feel welcome and important - he remembers the little things”
“I love how much Kelley cares for other people! She's always happy when her friends are happy and sad when they're sad, regardless of if/how it effects her. She's such an empathetic person and it makes it so easy to want to be a better person for her. She's someone that I'm always proud to introduce to people in my life she hasn't met. I like to joke between her personality, interest, and looks it's like someone designed her in a computer for what I wanted/want in a partner.”
Their engagement session in St. Augustine perfectly captured their fun-loving spirit. We started on the iconic Magnolia Avenue, surrounded by towering oaks draped in Spanish moss. They flirted, they kissed, they laughed—it was a dream. Kelley’s smile is absolutely contagious, and Jimmy knows exactly how to make her laugh. Their chemistry was effortless, making every shot feel natural and full of joy.
As we wandered through the charming, cobblestone-lined alleys, the romance heightened. They were so easy to talk to, and the session felt like a double date with old friends. As the sun set, the Nights of Lights illuminated the historic city, making their session even more magical. We ended the night by the bay, where the golden hues of the sunset painted the sky behind them. Just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, they made a quick outfit change into their football jerseys—Jimmy proudly representing the University of Georgia, and Kelley rocking Florida State. It was the perfect way to showcase a huge part of their relationship.
Their love story has already been filled with incredible memories, from football games and concerts to traveling the world together. Now, this weekend marks the start of their greatest adventure yet—marriage. Surrounded by the charm of St. Augustine and the people they love most, Kelley and Jimmy are about to begin a new chapter, and we couldn’t be more honored to have captured a piece of their journey.
Kelley + Jimmy, we can’t wait to celebrate you this weekend! Your love story up until now has been pretty amazing, but we truly believe — the best is yet to come! Wishing you so many more trips to St. Augustine and to always have fun together, no matter what you're doing! See you soon!
xoxo
