Destination Wedding - Dina & Gus

When Dina approached me to shoot her wedding I was honored to say the least.  I have know Dee since she was a child ( which first made me feel really old…lol), but then to know that she loved my style and trusted me to shoot her wedding made me feel very special.

Imagine my surprise when she called me a few weeks later and told me that they had decided to cancel the big local wedding for a smaller destination wedding, I thought we were going to cancel the contract.  Then she dropped it on me…. ” I NEED you there to shoot my wedding!!! I want you and your vision to capture the most important day in my life!  Will you do it Nancy????”

Will I!!!!

I was so excited to be shooting in sunny irie Jamaica.  I had never been there before and was anticipating the amazing shots that you can only get in a destination country.  I had been to quite a few other sunny locations for personal and work related but to be in Jamaica…. every ting was ar’rite mon!

All of their guest were a riot and the resort - Rui Ochos Rios was breathtaking!!!

We had shot the wedding and the Immortalize Your Dress session for Dee and Gus ( A usual in any of our Destination packages).

But the Immortalize Your Dress Session required us to be up a 6 am…. YIKES!!!!
We did get beaches that were void of people, and the sunrise made for the most beautiful light…. So it was a winning decision in my book!
Well enough of me telling you about it here are a few photos for you to see for yourself.

For anyone who is interested…. Do your research with your destination wedding in regards to your photographer and what you can do. I have been previve to some horror stories with destination weddings and resort photographers.  Please for all of you who are condsidering this type of wedding…. ask the resort planner what you get and what it costs?  Plus don’t forget to ask to see the photographers work?  It will be the best if you know exactly what you are expecting when you get there.  The less surprizes thebetter :).

As for these two…. You guys are wonderful.  Thank you for being troopers and getting up to do those IYD shots…. sooooo worth it!!
