This was one of those days you wake up, take your camera out and say, this. is. gonna. be. good...
Liz and Beau had the right idea taking their friends on day excursions to welcome in the wedding weekend and introduce them to the magical Bahamian island of Eleuthera. After taking the breathtaking flight from my home in Miami over the Caribbean and Bahamas islands in a small twin engine airplane, I joined with Liz and her friends to tour the island- exploring historic caves, playing in the ocean and diving in hidden waterfalls. After the day of discovery, we joined with the groom, friends and family for a beautiful decorated welcome pigroast picnic- turned dance party- on the edge of the sea.
Last shot of the night, I captured the vast sky filled with millions and millions of bright stars and was left with the thought.. if the first day was as magical as this, I can only imagine what the wedding day is going to be...
