I always try to "bring it" for all of my clients but when I know the groom is into photography himself it really ups the stakes. But I wasn't nervous the day Charletha and Terence were married because we already made some great images together during their engagement session.

After a beautiful ceremony which brought emotion out of most in attendance, the couple were whisked away in a vintage car to the reception where my friend (and talented DJ) Rob G encouraged everyone to get up and dance with his excellent mixing skills.

Here are some of my favorites from the day's action:

Amber selected the same location (Paraiso Maravilla) her older sister, Ashley, had her bridal portraits taken so I knew the pressure was on to create something special. Here's a few selected images (that I'm allowed to share now that her wedding has come and gone):

Photos of Amber + Vicente's wedding are coming to the blog very soon!

I'll be sharing some photos from her wedding very soon, but in the meantime, here are some bridal photos I took of Kristen at the popular Paraiso Maravilla:

My "secret" engagement photography formula usually involves talking a bit with the couple (or a lot--haha) and taking a few photos in between. That process was made extra enjoyable when I was hanging out with Kari and Ryan. I received the treat of getting to know them a little better (they both have great wit and senses of humor) and observe them enjoy each other's company. I'm really looking forward to their wedding later this fall and wanted to share a little of what we came up with on a beautiful spring day in the meantime.

Sean and Helen (who you may remember from their engagement session earlier) were married in a joyous celebration which featured plenty of culture, positive energy, and familiar faces (for the couple and myself). Quite a few people turned out to see them start their new life together. Cheers to these two wonderful people and here's a set of selected images:
