The result was an intimate evening that was altogether personal and touching. I feel very honored and proud to have been selected as their photographer. Over time, I have come across a growing phenomenon with photography in wedding planning:

The wedding ceremony was set in front of the breathtaking Caribbean Sea and the reception party kept the guests rocking the dance floor until the wee hours of the morning. Most guests agreed: It was the wedding of the century!

Dear brides and grooms: Save yourself some grief and build a relationship with your photographer before you hire them. I am surprised at how many times I’ve asked a married couple who photographed their wedding only to hear them say, “I don’t know.” Your photographer will affect the way you look back on your wedding day for the rest of your life.
