A Washington Oaks Gardens State Park Wedding
Washington Oaks Gardens State Park provided the perfect setting for this intimate Florida wedding. With around 30 friends and family members in attendance, the day was centered around the couple, their three daughters, and the beginning of their new life together as a family.
Getting Ready & The Ceremony
The day began in the getting-ready room at Washington Oaks before everyone made their way to the Octagon for the ceremony. The small brick ceremony area overlooks the pond and gazebo, with the rose garden just steps away. The bride chose to use the rose garden walkway as her aisle, walking with her father through the flowers before joining her groom at the Octagon. Surrounded by their closest friends and family, they exchanged vows and shared their first kiss as husband and wife.
Becoming a Family
After the ceremony, we took family portraits with their three daughters before the couple shared a special private ceremony just for the five of them.
Beneath Washington Oaks' enormous oak tree, the bride gave each of her new daughters a necklace and made a personal vow to them as their mother. It was one of the most meaningful moments of the day — celebrating not only their marriage, but the family they were creating together.
A Simple Celebration
The evening ended with an intimate dinner at Carrabba's in Palm Coast, where friends and family gathered to celebrate, cut the cake, and enjoy time together.
It was a beautiful reminder that a wedding doesn't have to be large or elaborate to be meaningful. For this couple, the day was about marriage, family, and celebrating the people they love most.
