May 31, 2008 Taryn and Alex
Alex and Taryn's wedding was held at the Four
Seasons in charming and beautiful Nevis, West Indies. Both the couple and the
Four Seasons did an amazing job. One of Taryn's friends asked me how I thought
the photos turned out the day after the wedding and we both had a little laugh
because honestly it would have been difficult to take a bad picture of such a
beautiful, well planned wedding in such an extraordinary setting. Bride's
Magazine agreed and they will feature Taryn and Alex's wedding in their December
issue.
March 1, 2008 Liz and Jed
Last weekend I traveled to a remote area in
the beautiful Dominican Republic for Liz and Jed's wedding. Las Terrenas was
truly a special place, right up my alley. The natural beauty and relaxed
atmosphere was amazing. Thanks so much to Liz and Jed for sharing it with me! I
am very blessed to have incredible couples to work with, it never ceases to
amazes me how lucky I am. It was great getting to know Jed, Liz, their family,
and friends over the weekend. It was a heartfelt event- that along with the
natural beauty of the area was inspiring to
me.

We did portraits before the ceremony, which ended up working perfectly. The light was incredible, plus we had plenty of time to play.
The palm trees where unreal.
See what I mean??

Thanks so much Liz and Jed! I hope you are having an incredible time in Buenos Aires.

February 9, 2008 Debbie and Gordon
Wow! I don't even know where to start. Debbie
and Gordon's wedding was amazing and I couldn't have asked for two more
generous, thoughtful people to work with. One of the exhilarating parts of my
job is being around people that are so in love- Debbie and Gordon glowed when
they were together. Their families and friends were great too. Gordon's mom was
a riot, I could have listened to her tell stories all night.
The wedding was held at Ceiba del Mar in Puerto Morelos, Mexico on the Mayan Riviera. The resort did an amazing job with the food at the welcoming party and the reception. The level of service at the hotel was exceptional, I honestly wanted to move in.
Getting ready...
Loved her dress, so simple and elegant.
Debbie was nervous before the ceremony, but I think she loved beautiful!
Being announced husband and wife.
Great musicians.
I love this shot. Gordon was looking at his wedding ring.
Thanks guys! I had such a great time.

First night in Mexico
Last weekend I traveled to the Mayan Riviera
to photograph Gordon and Debbie's wedding in Puerto Morelos. This shot is from
the welcoming party the night before the wedding. More to come soon! The wedding
was phenomenal! Thanks so much Gordon and Debbie for making me feel so welcomed!
You two were so wonderful to work for. What a rude awakening to arrive home to a
nearly 80 degree temperature difference... I wish I was still in Mexico!

January 19, 2008 Selena and Eric
I've been to Puerto Rico a few times for
weddings but this was my first time on the island's west coast in the charming
little surfing town of Rincon. What a fantastic way to start the 2008 wedding
season!! Eric and Selena had a lot of adversity to deal with (from lost luggage
to rain delaying the ceremony by 1.5 hours!) but they handled it with incredible
patience. Planning a wedding is a job in itself and planning a destination
wedding adds even more logistics to consider. But they are totally worth it, in
my opinion! Selena was so calm through everything, I was in awe of her. The
ceremony was delayed by rain but the rain finally stopped and we had a beautiful
sunset directly following the ceremony. The reception was a riot, packed with
great dancers and tasty Puerto Rican food. Thanks so much Eric and Selena!
Selena was so great, she let me photograph everything! She was not the least bit shy. I burst out laughing when I was editing and found this shot of her holding her breath as her dress was being buttoned up.
Future heartbreaker. I think this cutie made it into about half of the wedding photos!

Couldn't resist... one more of the ring bearer.
I love the expressions in this photo taken after the ring exchange.

Selena and Eric: E-session in Rincon, Puerto Rico
When I shoot destination weddings I always
love getting together with the couple to do an engagement session before the
wedding. It's a great chance to take advantage of the beauty of the area and the
photos always compliment the wedding coverage. Here are a few of Eric and Selena
before their wedding in Rincon.

November 17, 2007 Aleta and Deji
I photographed Aleta and Deji's exquisite
wedding in Puerto Morelos, Mexico November 17 at Azul Hotel. What an incredible
day and an amazing group of people! Aleta and Deji had to manage many of the
challenges of planning a destination wedding and they did so in stride. The
result was a beautiful day in paradise. I will remember it as one of my favorite
weddings of all time (I know it's bad to choose favorites, but too bad!).
Aleta looked perfect in her Vera Wang gown!
We did the portraits beforehand, which ended up working out great!
Deji, looking like a model!
The beautiful sunset ceremony.
This little guy was so cute!

November 3, 2007 Kristen and Ryan
In spite of the tropical storm that blew
through the area Kristen and Ryan had a beautiful day for their wedding at Tensing Pen
in Negril, Jamaica. I had such a great time getting to know Kristen, Ryan, their
friends, and families! Jamaica is always a blast and the wedding was amazing. I
can't wait to go back!
Loved the seating chart.
The luminaries were beautiful, Kristen did such an incredible job on all the details.
One happy man...
The reception was so lively, lots of great dancing.

One Love
The day before Ryan and Kristen's wedding in
Negril, Jamaica I photographed them at Rockhouse,
a great boutique hotel that I was staying at along with some of the other
wedding guests. I photographed Meg and Ben's wedding there last year and fell in
love with it. The colors on the property are incredible, as you'll see in the
photos that are below! I had such a great time shooting Ryan and Kristen, they
have such great natural chemistry!

August 5, 2007 Maria and Carlos
Carlos and Maria's wedding in Puerto Rico was
such a blast! The rehearsal dinner included authentic Puerto Rican food and
Salsa lessons. Thank goodness I was busy photographing the dancing because I
would have made a complete fool of myself on the dance floor! I had a great time
catching up with Andy and Mindy, whose wedding I photographed a few years back.
Thanks for the referral you two! The wedding day was spectacular. Carlos and
Maria were just so incredibly relaxed. I absolutely love destination weddings.
There were about 50 guests at the wedding, mostly friends from New York City
where Carlos and Maria live and work. It was great spending time with the group
throughout the weekend! Here are just a few
shots:

October 14, 2006 Yara and Khamen
It's a tough life having two destination
weddings in just over a month but I survived! :) Yara and Khamen's wedding in
Puerto Rico was absolutely amazing. They were both incredibly gracious and a joy
to photograph. I loved everything about this wedding from the cultural
traditions both Yara and Khamen tied into the wedding to the warmth that
surrounded Yara and Khamen from their families and friends- even the people I
was sat with for brunch at the reception were cool! And when the reception was
over in the late afternoon I strolled out onto the beach and drank a mojito. A
perfect day...
Yara totally cracked me up while she was getting ready and she picked up this puzzle featuring Egypt's most famous pharaoh Tutankhamen, and kissed it because he soon to be husband is named Tutankhamen (Khamen for short).
The ceremony was hot, hot, hot! But I wasn't going to complain because it was snowing at home that weekend!
Yara looked so radiant!
Khamen didn't look so bad himself.
Yara and I shot this while Khamen was making a quick wardrobe change. Stunning!
First dance.
A traditional Puerto Rican band performed, they were incredible and had everyone dancing!

Hurricane wedding: Allison and Roopesh September 9, 2006 Bermuda
I felt relieved that Allison and Roopesh were
such an incredibly calm, organized, joyful, and crazy in love couple. Having
never met them and knowing that Hurricane Florence was threatening Bermuda I was
a little concerned that I would encounter a couple who were understandably
upset. Not Allison and Roopesh! They put me at ease with their relaxed demeanor.
It was quite an experience to say the least. I don't think I'll ever photograph
another couple at their wedding being interviewed by ABC News for Good Morning
America, that's for certain.
Being interviewed about having a wedding during the hurricane.
Allison dancing with her dad.
There's nothing like an impending hurricane to make people really get down. The party went on strong until midnight. Thanks Allison and Roopesh! I hope you're having a great time in Greece.

The calm before the storm (or should I say Hurricane Florence!!)
I had the wonderful opportunity to travel to
Bermuda to cover Allison and Roopesh's rehearsal and wedding September 8th and
9th in Bermuda. The calm before the storm refers to the gorgeous weather we had
the day before the wedding for the rehearsal which soon gave way to the
impending hurricane on Saturday. Here are some shots of the unforgettable
rehearsal dinner at the Fairmont Southampton.
I got a kick out of this sign....
The beautiful bride to be, Allison.
The largest bottle of Veuve Cliquot I've ever seen, it was a little tough to open.

Wow, what an incredible weekend I had in

My last wedding of the year
What a great way to end the year! Terry and
Jiaying were married in Tulum, Mexico Friday November 25. The wedding was
beautiful and heartfelt. Terry and Jiaying are truly a special couple, with
great families and friends. Here's a few of my favorites from the wedding and
engagement session we did a few days before the wedding at the Mayan ruins in
Tulum.
Riding the train to the ruins.
They were so much fun to photograph, they have such great chemistry together.
There was a beach at the ruins, so we took advantage of that.
On our way out I noticed this wall, there were such fantastic colors in Mexico!
Jiaying getting ready in her suite.
Terry watching Jiaying walk down the aisle.
I love Jiaying's expression- they had just been pronounced husband and wife.
I love seeing the way couples react right after they finish the recessional.
The hotel was a great backdrop for portraits.
The first dance.
Thanks so much to Terry and Jiaying for hiring me to capture their beautiful wedding day! It was the best way to end a great year of weddings.
