Liz & Beau | ELEUTHERA BAHAMAS Part I

in ,

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...

Remember this sweet, adorable couple I photographed last September in San Sebastian, Spain? How could we forget, right? Well, it was their wedding day a couple weeks ago and I couldn't have been more happy to see and photograph them again- this time in their home state of New York! Here's a pretty preview of their perfect day at Highlands Country Club. More to come very soon!

It's hard to believe just a week and a half ago, I was in Nevis, one of the Caribbean's most enchanting islands, documenting Christine and Britt's beautiful destination wedding at the Four Seasons Resort. Check back soon for a full feature from their amazing weekend.

// Kirsten & John in Miami, Florida | Destination Wedding

I am so happy to share one of my favorite weddings not only of last year but of all time, held on lucky number 11/11/11. Kirsten and John welcomed me into their lives with real genuine warmth and kindness. Over the months before their wedding, I shared in their excitement as the details of their destination wedding weekend in Miami came together. Unique to their personal style and sweet relationship, their wedding day was an absolute reflection of who they are as a couple. I couldn't be more thankful to have documented the day for them, and now, to share it with all of you..
