Natalie and Jordon: Destination Wedding at Melia Caribe PT. 1

June 24, 2009 – 9:54 pm

Natalie and Jordon picked the gorgeous Melia Caribe for their special day. This resort was remarkable and did such a great job.  You two were such a pleasure to work with from the moment I met you at dinner. Your friends and family were equally warm and embracing and of course, always a good laugh.

I started with some getting ready shots while Natalie was getting her hair done. The dress is one of my favorite detail shots to get.

Next being the flowers! The resort did an amazing job at these!

Just waiting for his soon to be wife :)

Oh I love when couples decide to see eachother before the ceremony. We had such a great amount of time to walk around and take pictures. Part 2 coming tomorrow :-)

This was their little kiss sequence! The first kiss, stop, kiss again, wipe face. SO CUTE. :)

I want more purple weddings! I loved it. The hanging orchids took me back to my wedding. :)

Congrats you two!!

Jen & Tony: Columbus Engagement Session

June 12, 2009 – 5:08 pm

I love everything about this session. the subjects, the color and the textures. Can’t wait for the wedding!!

When we were crossing the street the cab driver was staring us down. Figured, he was having a boring day and we should spice it up!

Trash the dress in Nassau, Bahamas

May 28, 2009 – 5:05 pm


This is my favorite of the session. I edited this image in about 10 different ways. This is definitely my favorite!

Alright, I am heading out now! I have a 7AM flight to Puerto Rico tomorrow for another wedding! I still have some more images I want to blog but I’ll do that next week! Happy Thursday!

Cindy and Bob: Bahama Portraits!

May 27, 2009 – 10:47 pm

Alright, grab a drink and sit back. There are plenty of images to check out and see just how fabulous Cindy and Bob looked on their wedding day. I must say, these 2 have so much love for each other and that’s what I love photographing. They were so content and at peace being around each other. They also kept putting up with all the kissing so they rock in my book!

We took over someone’s patio to get these shot. My favorite part of this shot? The little bit of purple that I got in the frame.

Had we been rained out this is where the ceremony would have taken place. It’s still gorgeous so we got some images there anyways!

my absolute 2 favorite of the day.

Cindy and Bob: Ceremony in the Bahamas

May 27, 2009 – 8:46 pm

Even rain cannot stop this beach wedding ceremony. Our entire stay in the Bahamas was pretty much dark clouds and rain randomly throughout the day. Leading up getting Cindy’s hair down the sun was out. At the salon I looked out and it was raining. I didn’t say anything, just let it pass and we’ll move on. The next rain drops: ceremony. We were on our way when it started to rain so we stopped in the theater to wait it out. Cindy knew she wanted to get married on the beach and not inside in some red wall room (though I loved it) So while we waited we took portraits and waited it out. Many attempts and we finally got it. During the ceremony the sun peeked through the clouds and we were dry the entire ceremony….until it started again. Rain is lucky on a wedding day though :-)

Cindy and Bob: Getting ready

May 26, 2009 – 12:21 am

I am still blogging over here! Got so much more to come! I told you I had a TON of images to share! :-) Now, onto some getting ready shots. Now, of course, brides definitely take more time than the men. We did spend almost our entire time with Cindy but of course, we sneaked some images of Bob in here.


Meanwhile, Bob getting ready. Men are so easy!

Next: Ceremony!

Cindy and Bob: Wedding day Details

May 24, 2009 – 10:20 pm

Cindy had an absolutely beautiful dress with some incredible detail. My favorite dress picture ever…..or until, your scroll down. I really really like those too.

Bob’s outfit wasn’t too shabby either.

Another favorite dress picture. If I was her, I definitely would have been hot wearing that!

I am a huge detail person and I always go through and read the postcards from the past destination brides. Anyone want to be the taker of this postcard?

Cindy and Bob: Destination Wedding in Bahamas-Resort Images

May 24, 2009 – 8:46 pm

I just loved all the lighting at the resort! This room had chandeliers on every space possible.
I was pretty amazed at the amount of naked statues everywhere! Of course, I had to capture them all.

Tomorrow- details of the wedding day! :-)
