An Intimate Club Continental Wedding | Naomi + Dale

Naomi and Dale’s wedding day was simple, beautiful, and full of love and I’m still not over how perfect everything felt! They tied the knot at Club Continental in Jacksonville, Florida, surrounded by their closest friends and family with the most peaceful riverfront views, mossy oak trees, and old-world charm setting the tone.

I knew from the first few minutes of meeting these two during their engagement session that their day would be so special. They’re so easy with each other, fun, laid back, and full of laughter. The kind of couple that makes you feel like you’ve known them forever!

If you’re planning a St. Augustine or Jacksonville elopement or intimate wedding, this one’s for you!

How They Met

Naomi and Dale’s love story actually started with a camera!

They met while out riding motorcycles! Dale was snapping photos of everyone and their bikes (photography is a big part of their life), and he took a few of Naomi. When he sent them to her, she replied, “We should go on a ride together,” and the rest is history!

Their proposal story? Equally as memorable. He proposed in Ohio, in the same spot they visited on their very first trip together. They rode their bikes, took some photos… and Naomi may have had a little crash (which made for an unforgettable story!). I just love how their whole relationship has been a blend of adventure, laughter, and connection from the very beginning!

A Calm + Joyful Morning at Club Continental

They each got ready in separate rooms at Club Continental and the vibe was so calm and peaceful. This venue is honestly such a hidden gem in Jacksonville, Spanish-style architecture, cozy corners, and that riverfront breeze!

Naomi looked absolutely stunning and Dale was clearly just so ready to see her! You could feel how meaningful the day was to both of them, soaking in every moment.

A Sweet Ceremony by the River

Their ceremony was short and sweet, with just their closest family and friends there to witness it. The sun peeked through the trees, and the breeze off the river made everything feel soft and slow. Honestly, it felt like time paused for them!

After they said “I do,” we took some family photos in front of the river and then wandered around the property for portraits.

They popped champagne to celebrate, and it was just the perfect end to such a heartfelt day!

For the Couples Who Want Something Real

If there’s one thing I took away from Naomi and Dale’s wedding, it’s this: your day doesn’t have to be big or elaborate to be incredible. You just need people who love you, a place that feels right, and a photographer to help you remember it all!

If you’re planning a proposal, engagement session, or intimate wedding in Jacksonville or St. Augustine, and want photos that feel natural, emotional, and totally you, I’d love to be a part of it!
