As a wedding photographer of eight years who had a destination wedding herself, this is a route I am telling you to not overlook when you start your planning process. When Syd and Derek first hired me, they were actually planning on having a large Midwest gathering. However, when the venue they had planned on booking wasn’t putting their best foot forward they began to reconsider their options- that’s when they asked if I would go to Mexico with them. You can probably figure out what my answer to that was!

Erin and Brady had the kind of wedding day that upon walking in, I instantly knew was going to be a good one. They are surrounded by the most welcoming and kind people — within minutes it was incredibly evident to me that they chose people that would celebrate them BIG not only on their wedding day, but all the time. The kind of people that were honored to be in their corner and would do anything for them, rain OR shine.

Karissa and Austin were an absolute dream from the minute they booked with me so it was no surprise that this day was full sweet tears, endless hugs, and big dance moves. It’s not hard to see how head-over-heels these two are for each other. You know that “look” the guy gives the girl in the movies that makes us all go weak in the knees? Well that’s how Austin looks at Karissa and she meets him there with unrestrained joy.
