Four years ago Emily and Barrett were married and I was there to photograph their Dallas wedding. In November Emily’s sister Catherine was getting married to Elliot in Playa Del Carmen and asked me to travel with them to photograph their beach wedding. It is such an honor for a family to consider me their “family photographer”. My wife Sarah and I were happy to go spend the week in Playa del Carmen with Catherine and Elliot and their family and friends. Unfortunately, Hurricane Ida was making her way through the Yucatan channel on the day of the wedding so we had to move the wedding off of the beach. But everyone was in great spirits and having such a good time it was no problem. They had a beautiful wedding and reception at The Royal Playa del Carmen. The day after the wedding the sun came out and we got a chance to take some photos on the beach. Thanks Catherine and Elliot for having Sarah and me along for the ride and including us as part of your family.

I was thrilled that Prisca and Colin asked me to photograph their wedding in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.  My wife Sarah’s family have been life long friends with Prisca’s family, so it was that much more special for us that we could be there and all celebrate together.
We started out with an intimate first look in Charlottesville, Virginia before the wedding. Prisca and Colin both went to the University of Virginia so we grabbed some photos in front of the Rotunda. It is such a beautiful campus.

The wedding was at their church in Charlottesville, surrounded by friends and family. The ceremony was beautifully backlit by huge windows looking out into the trees.

We ended up the day at Barren Ridge Vineyards for their reception. A gorgeous location, I couldn’t have asked for a better place for photos.

Thriller on the dance floor…With BABIES!!

Congratulations Prisca and Colin!

Destination weddings are so much fun.
#1. I get to go to the beach
#2. The beach is nice
There are many other reasons involving the beach, water, snorkeling, and all-inclusive, to name a few. The best part is that they are just laid back events with the couple’s closest family and friends in an exotic location.
Cathy and Dan were married at Secrets Maroma Beach in Riviera Maya, Mexico. They had a beautiful wedding and everyone had a great time dancing into the night. Thanks to Cathy and Dan for taking me along with you to Mexico!
