On the Cover
We love love. For our 2016 cover couple, we wanted to find two newlyweds so crazy about each other they just couldn’t contain themselves. This image, shot by Black & Hue Photography, is filled with so much genuine happiness, we get giddy just looking at it. To Brett and Caroline, our gorgeous cover couple, congratulations on a beautiful downtown Tallahassee wedding, and thank you for making Northwest Florida smile!
