I couldn’t have asked for a funner (yes I just used that word) and friendlier bunch to have gone down to Jamaica with. I was a bit familiar with their family already given that I had photographed 2 of their guests weddings (two of them being a bridesmaid and groomsmen) but I have no doubt in my mind that they would have been any less inviting if I hadn’t made any of their acquaintances before.
Rain on the wedding day put a small damper on things, although Sophia and Dan kept their spirits high. Right before the ceremony, the sun came out and everyone agreed to a last minute relocation to make this couples dreams of a tropical beach ceremony a reality.
Later on in the week, we met at sunrise to capture their portraits. That post is up next!
