The importance of photography...

can be explained just by looking at the photo. Greer Rivera took these amazing shots of my wedding in St. John last month. The couple were married on Trunk Bay with their ceremony at Villa Rhapsody (I shared a few photos of the reception awhile back). I am so pleased with the results from Greer - she captured just some amazing memories for this couple. Anytime they want a little get-away, they can just open up their wedding album...

A taste of Morocco...

I'm 100% impressed with the work this bride put into the details of her wedding day. Guests were coming up to me left and right, complementing me on what a wonderful job I did and each time I had to tell them that all the credit went to the bride - all I did was put it together for her. Lindquist Beach lent itself well to this very Moroccan influenced event.

One of my favorite aspects of the day was the guest book...each page was dedicated to a guests with a slot for a photo of them and a section for them to fill in a wedding wish for the couple. This scrapebook of a guest book will be such a wonderful keepsake of their wedding day...




But you all know how I feel about wedding favors...LOVE THEM. And after the ceremony, everyone was taken to a sailboat for lunch & snorkeling...so, what better favor could there be than a beach towel?? And just look at the details our bride put into the favors...a beautiful gift tag with starfish pendant. Just beautiful...




Congratulations J&J - I wish you many happy and wonderful years together!

And in honor of Easter Monday...

Thought I would put up this photo of my girls - I took this on Saturday since we would be boating all day on Easter. I still wanted to get them all dressed up in their Easter dresses!

My next post will be wedding related, I promise. =)

In honor of Good Friday...

I had these images put aside to blog about at a later date - just a little entry to talk about personalizing your bouquet. But I realize it has been since Tuesday since my last entry and thought, hmm...anything special I could do for Good Friday? And of course, these images popped into my head!

I'm celebrating Easter early with my family tomorrow and boating all day on Sunday with friends so I want to wish all my couples, past, present & future, a Happy Easter Weekend!

Dreamy

Remember that dreamy dress I blogged about last week? Blue Glass Photography shot that wedding and Alain sent over this photo for me yesterday. Dreamy dress, dreamy sunset, just dreamy...

Toughest part of my job...

Looking at all the beautiful desserts and not being able to eat them....could you imagine how huge I would be if I had a piece of cake from every wedding I attended?!

The bride sent us this table cloth for the table and VI Desserts whipped up these beautiful cupcakes with sugar flowers on top. A little sprinkling of starfish and voila! A beautiful dessert table...

Best man or maid of honor?

Considering the flowers in its head, I'm going with maid of honor!

This lovely couple came in off the NCL Norwegian Dawn on Tuesday - just a nice simple, easy ceremony. We took them up to the overlooks to snap a few photos for them. "Monica" the donkey was up there to pose for photos with tourist - I just love these kind of shots - so quirky and unexpected! Not sure if this is one that you frame on the mantle though...=)Do you like what I've done with the photo in editing? Kind of washing it out and enhancing the colors? I love doing that sort of thing but I know it's not everyone's style...what do you think?
