It’s really exciting when your friends ask you to be their wedding photorapher; knowing the joy that these two individuals have for each other already and then getting to capture a beautiful wedding to celebrate this love. Amanda & Kevin are very laid back people, and their wedding reflected this. I don’t think anything could have ruined their wedding, their love for each other and the friends and family around them made it such a warm and joyous occasion.

What I didn’t know before was that Amanda’s parents would also be taking part in the wedding as they wanted to do a Vow Renewal with their family in attendance… a double wedding!

The wedding took place in the beautiful Sea Orchard Resort, tucked away in West Bay. A great stop for families who want a quieter environment away from the busy hotels.

As amazing as it is to photograph a full day wedding, with every brother, sister, uncle and auntie in attendance, and jumping from location to location, it’s also really magical capturing weddings like Shari & Hank’s little ceremony with just them. These kind of weddings are always delightful and the full attention of the photographer goes to the bride and the groom. The results are amazing – you can see the emotions and intense feelings of affection Shari & Hank had for each other.

Their ceremony took place at the Westin Resort, along the long stretch of Seven Mile Beach. After they were announced married we took a walk around the resort and beach and found some amazing spots, perfect for capturing romantic photos of newlywed. Everything was perfect – the warm sunset, the gentle blue sea, and the tears of emotion.

What’s better than capturing a beautiful wedding? The answer is capturing some amazing pre-wedding photos and then the wedding! As beautiful as weddings are to photograph, location sessions like Angie & David’s engagement session are great for capturing the love before the stress of the big day. Either way, I couldn’t be happier with the photos I got before and during Angie & David’s wedding – you can really see how happy they are together and the love they feel for each other.

Over the 2 days of photography, we went from location to location – beaches, woods, hotels, the church, more beaches and the beautiful local restaurant – Pappagallo; capturing the joys of everyone in attendance as these two families became one. Congratulations guys!

As of this year I’m going to be photographing a lot more weddings here in the Cayman Islands. The demand for great photos as people tie the knot in paradise doesn’t seem to be slowing down, and although the hot summer sun is pretty intense here, we are rewarded with the most beautiful sunsets. Sometimes we even get some thunder storms… thankfully for Brittany & Steve, those thunder storms were in the distance (I even caught a bit of lightning in one photo!) and we just got a dramatic backdrop.

Brittany & Steve were fantastic to photograph, and we got some epic shots of them strolling down the beach and into the sea right outside the Ritz Carlton where they were staying.

Robin & Eric came to Grand Cayman to tie the know and express their love for each other in the perfect setting; the sun was shining, the sea was calm and blue, and Seven Mile Beach was full of happy faces. Their wedding was a beautiful event, with a gorgeous sunset and an amazing lantern release to top it all off. Family, friends and everyone in attendance were all warm and filled with happiness, it was a pleasure to photograph this joyous occasion.

The Westin Resort where the event took place was a fantastic host, and curated the ceremony and reception on the beach wonderfully.

Approaching the end of one of the most exciting and busy years in my life, 2018 has been a year of new challenges, new experiences and some amazing experiences with photography and cinematography. Taking on as many new challenges as I could in the world of photography I ended the year with 2 wonderful and big weddings.

When I met up with Amanda and Ben I was happy to see how relaxed they were, yet wanted me to help them get some memorable wedding photos. As the whole wedding was taking place at the Kimpton Seafire Resort, I knew there would be plenty of opportunities to get some stunning images. Their first look around the modern architecture of the resort worked so well, followed by their ceremony on the beach and some beautiful family moments as the sun set. I couldn’t be happier!
