SO… I was in Ochos Rios Jamaica just this past November/December for Dee & Gus’s wedding. On my way to the Rui Ochos Rios resort I met a wonderful couple on the bus ride to the hotel… Jerry & Danielle and their three kids.
Jerry and his exuberance and out going nature sat across from me on the bus and we started chatting. Turns out Jerry and Danielle were there for their wedding too!!!
Danielle and Jerry’s wedding was the same day as Dee & Gus… so we booked an Immortalize Your Dress session instead.

One day, Danielle tells me that they had befriended yet another couple at the resort who were also getting married!!!!  Who are also in need of a photographer and she hooked me up…  Thanks guys!!Frankly, something were just meant to be!!!!!  Congrats everyone I think it was fate that we all got together on that warm little corner of the world *wink*

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!!

So it’s been a great start.  I just would like to thank all my friends and colleagues who have been sweet enough to leave comments on the site.  It is wonderful to know that there at least a few of you out there that are listening…lol!

Well I have the new website ready to be unleashed to the world.  Just one little hiccup to settle before you all see it.  I’m super excited about it all and the new images that i have coming out representing me and my company.  Since I have to wait a little longer to release the site…. which by the way for me is super hard because, well patience is not one of my virtues, at least not with wanting to get things done.  I figured it was ok to cheat a little bit and give you a sneak peek at a few of my photos.

You will recognize this beautiful couple once you go on my site… Sonya & Tasos!  You two are the absolute cutest thing together.  I was so honored to be a part of your wedding and your lives.  I know the wedding was a few months back, but since I got the blog now (finally) up and running I thought I would like you to be my premiere wedding. Big blessings and luv coming at ya!

For those of you who know Sonya, this dancing on the chair in the middle of the dance floor is not very far fetched.  Always fun!
