How do you know when a client trusts you? You ask them to get up at 6am the day after their wedding and jump in the ocean in their dress and suit — and they do it!

So there we are in the water, the sun is rising over the Caribbean and painting amazing colors on the clouds, and these two are connecting and sharing their love with each other. I’m there to capture it. This goes into my top 10 moments of shooting for sure.

Destinations weddings are fun. They are also a lot of work; for the bride and groom, for their family and friends, for the photographer. But when you’re there – when you’re rejoicing in two people joining their lives together – all of that planning, effort and energy turns into a time of celebration and excitement. That’s how it was for Caroline+Michael’s wedding in Punta Cana last month.

I’m so thankful to have been part of their plunge into marriage (and into the ocean – that post is coming up in just a minute…)
