Destination Weddings – Curt and Julie ….what a fabulous couple and great week! We truly enjoyed being part of your wedding and meeting so many great people throughout the week!!

Curt and Julie are a great couple that we photographed last October for their destination wedding. The weather was fabulous, and the resort was absolutely beautiful! 

 

Here are some of the photos that we captured to document their wedding day. As a documentary wedding photographer, this was a dream location! Even though the temperature hit 40 °C, you couldn’t have had a better day…a gorgeous fresh breeze that literally carried a faint whiff of cilantro…gorgeous blue skies, the sand the tropical blue sea…..and of course some wonderful people!

I always love to not only capture the emotion and moments throughout the day but also the details that make every wedding special. Julie, the bride, gave her bridesmaids some gorgeous Tiffany necklaces & little purses, which I thought were so cute. Of course, the flower girl and ringbearer each had their own goodies that fit in the theme of the day…pinks & brown were the colours, and I thought these were a beautiful personal touch to the day.

I love to photograph the bride getting ready for her wedding day. I always find this a very special time to quietly observe and capture the emotion as the bride along with her family and bridal party are preparing for the day. You can feel the excitement in the air! This is also a great time to capture great detail photos as well as bridal portraits.

Here are some portraits of the bride and groom as well as some images from the rest of the wedding day.

 

 

This last image is of the bride dancing with the bridal party on a makeshift dancefloor on the beach under the stars. I think this image captures a real feeling of the laid back vibe of the reception and entire wedding day. This image was created with a slower shutter speed to give it a bit of motion blur….which I think gives it a bit of a painterly effect.
