Bridal Shoot

I've started including Bridal Shoots in my packages for brides who want a little something 'extra' before (or after) their wedding day. It's a chance to capture your inner diva... a chance to concentrate on just you and feel how luxurious it is to be in your bridal gown. The Bridal Shoot tends to be a little edgier. It's shot like a spread in a magazine concentrating on the elegance yet allowing you to capture what you can't always get on your wedding day. My brides have LOVED this concept! Especially after the wedding day when they no longer care if there's a wrinkle or a stain. Anything goes! Here's a couple I did for Linzi while I was in the Bahamas:

Linzi & Daniel

I LOVE shooting in the Caribbean! And I couldn't have had a more fun couple than Linzi & Daniel!



Linzi and Daniel are getting married May 25 at the Cloisters on Paradise Island. I did an engagement shoot with them on the beach right at sunset after they finished work. Linzi is a Marine Biologist and works with the dolphins and sea lions at Atlantis. Daniel also works at Atlantis but out of the water and in administration.



Linzi is in the water all day long so the last thing she wanted to do was get completely wet shortly before nightfall. I don't blame her! But I had fun getting Daniel to threaten throwing her into the ocean...



Believe it or not, these pictures were taken after the sun had already dropped below the horizon. The last bit of daylight was gracing us with beautifully muted light! I'm glad I had my fabulous Canon low-light lens in order to capture these amazing images... I wouldn't have been able to get these otherwise.





Linzi & Daniel are going to have the BEST wedding in May!

One & Only Ocean Club, Bahamas

I'm still going through all the images from the wedding last week and LOVING every minute of it. I've had a lot of people asking when they can see just a snippet from the wedding but I'm gonna keep y'all in suspense! In the meantime, here are just a few of the images of the One & Only Ocean Club.





It was just an amazing place for a wedding. For anyone considering a destination wedding here, you MUST contact Anne Marie Williams (516.620.3530). She is one of two exclusive coordinators who will create the wedding of your dreams!

Lindsay + Brent

I'm finally back from an amazing week of shooting on Paradise Island! I met Lindsay & Brent the day after I arrived in the Lobby of the One & Only Ocean Club. We hit it off immediately and kept talking all the way through brunch. They're both very down-to-earth, fun and just great people. Lindsay is a fashion designer - check out her site at www.lindsayperry.com!

The day before the wedding, the bride's parents hosted a Welcoming Party at one of the private residences on the island for all the guests that had flown in. They couldn't have chosen a better place! It was right on the ocean !





Guests were served premium Bahamian Fare - grouper, conch, guava duff and an assortment of other goodies.

As the sun was setting I managed to grab the couple for some sunset shots on the beach. It was a little windy and I didn't want to get the bride's hair too windblown... I LOVE these backlit shots!



Stay tuned for some more amazing pictures of their WEDDING!
