Weddings

Cass + John // Tulum, Mexico

Cassie and John are extremely serious about their fun.  So serious that they brought all of their family and friends with them all the way to Mexico for the wedding/vacation of a lifetime. 

I was lucky enough to tag along for 5 days of adventuring, shooting, relaxing on the beach, and little bit of tequila drinking.  Cass is an artist herself so photos of just the wedding wasn't going to do it.  Her and Johns adventurous side took us to the Mayan Ruins of Tulum for short warm up shoot before the wedding.

 

 

 

 

 

 

When we weren't chilling on the beach, or exploring the ruins, we were poolside on the Dreams resort, in Tulum, which is where the wedding took place. Other Than it being 95º with a million% humidity, the entire day was a blast. Even though everyone was pouring sweat, we just laughed it off.  I took care of photographing the ladies, while my friend Lauren photographed the gents. We met in the middle for a first look, which was immediately followed my some tequila. After the beautiful ceremony, it was time for some cocktails and serious dancing. The whole trip went flawlessly, and as I'm writing this Cass and John are still soaking up sun south of the boarder.

I can't thank them both enough for including me in such an awesome adventure. Cheers to Cass and John. Tequila, Lime, Salt.

 

Lindsay + Jess // Island Heights Yacht Club

I'm going to keep this short and sweet because I just want you to see these pictures.

Lindsay and Jess are both artists, one of these two is even a photographer! It always feels good when another photographer wants you to be the one to photograph their wedding.

These two worked so hard to reach the level of perfection they desired so when the big day finally came, they wanted it to be relaxed as possible. This allowed for some awesome photography ;-)

I was so impressed by Jess's painting of the map that would take us all over the entire town of Island Heights, New Jersey. These two also chose this map as their save the dates. Lindsay designed her own gorgeous bouquet as well as all of the flowers. This is when I realized what a unique experience I was in for.  The handmade and handpicked details were only the tip of the iceberg!

Lindsay and Jess chose the place they had their first kiss for their first look, which is incredibly romantic. I also stepped in dog dookie, but I wasn't mad. I cleaned my boots and the three of us wandered the town and hit up some secret spots for portraits.

The Ceremony took place on the dock of the Island Heights Yacht Club where Jess spent a lot of time growing up.  The rings made it safely onto their fingers instead of through the cracks of the dock. ( This was the running joke between Jess, Lindsay, and her uncle who was also the officiant) the laughs were complemented by some tears.  After the ceremony, the dock was cleared for a lax cocktail hour and some good times.

With this day being all about Jess and Lindsay,  Mikey Junior and his band where the stars of the reception. They killed it all night with blues rhythms and ridiculous harmonics. This along with some dancing and drinking went on for hours, which inevitably required everyone to refuel. Dinner was hosted by L Gourmet and after some good eats, Mikey Junior hit it even harder with some tunes that had everyone back at it with more hours dancing and drinking.

For you the story ends here, but for Jess and Lindsay it keeps on going forever. Congratulations to this perfect pair.
