Abaco : Travel

February 28, 2012 by Jensey 1 Comment

I just thought I’d share some photos during our fun time on Green Turtle Cay! I learned a lot while I was there. For instance… Did you know there are wild Bahamian pigs? I didn’t, either! Oh, and they’re adorable. :)

We were there a few weeks before Christmas, and the town was all decked out. :)

More friends we met along our journey…

Did I mention they live in a junkyard? Adorable.

The “fire station.” The entire island communicates via radio, so you hear a lot of the calls that go on during the day. Nate and I were having lunch one day when we hear someone radioing in a panic that there was a fire. Someone answered back, “John the fire chief is at work today!” Ummmm… Luckily, they got the fire under control. :)

It’s so rare that Nate and I get photos of both of us on our travels. :)

Why I love my Lisa. <3

Love Adventure Nate! Enjoying the boat ride back to the main island. :)

Just a dog. Trotting down the runway. No big deal. :)

Love, love, love this photo of Lisa and her Jeffrey being reunited at the airport. :)

Taylor + Michael : Wedding Part II

Continued from Taylor and Michael’s engagement, wedding events, and wedding part one! :)

My favorite thing about Taylor and Michael’s wedding? Her dad officiated the ceremony! It was full of touching moments like this one…

… And silly ones like this one!

One proud papa looking on after they’re pronounced man and wife. :)

We literally only had a few moments before the sun was gone, so right after the ceremony, we kidnapped the couple for some photos!

The reception location was a true paradise- Lisa of E-Events truly outdid herself.

So magical!

My faaaaaaaaavorite- First dance love. :)

The wedding planner and the lovely couple!

Taylor and Michael, thank you so much for bringing us along on your adventure!!

Don’t miss more Taylor and Michael goodness on the blog!

Taylor + Michael : Wedding Events

February 23, 2012 by Jensey 1 Comment

Before we get to the glory of Taylor and Michael’s wedding day, I thought I’d share some photos from the incredible weekend they put on for their guests. After being flown in to the Bahamas and taking a boat to Green Turtle Cay, we were all treated like kings! We had our own little golf carts to ride around the island, and each day was splashed with such incredible details that all fit with Taylor’s shabby chic vintage theme. It was all designed by our amazing bride and her fabulous wedding planner, the one and only Lisa Stoner of E-Events.

Taylor and Michael’s welcome party for their guests was held on this dock. There was a man serving conch to arriving guests, half way down the dock was a hut with drinks and details, and at the end of the dock was a lounge area for mingling!

I love the welcome baskets all of their guests received. :)

Nate learned more about gutting and making conch than he ever expected to know. (Editor note: Like the fact that there are eyes, a mouth, and a claw in that photo to the right!)
