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!)

I’m happy to report no one fell in the water! :)

Night two was the rehearsal dinner at the Green Turtle Club …

… Which included the incredible Junkanoo! You can read more about on Wikipedia, but the band was unlike anything I’d ever seen!

I love how sweet Michael is with Taylor. :)

And those were just the pre-wedding events! Part one of their wedding day coming to the blog tomorrow. :)

Wanna read more? These are good, too! :)

Julie + Christopher : Wedding

December 3, 2010 by Jensey 9 Comments

I’ve known Julie since middle school and was completely over the moon when she asked Nate and I to photograph her wedding- In the US Virgin Islands! Julie and Christopher and their 25 closest friends celebrated their wedding at the Marriott Frenchman’s Reef on St. Thomas.

If I had my own version of the Sound of Music‘s “My Favorite Things,” somehow wedding gowns with buttons down the back would be in the lyrics. :)

Julie made our job easy. ;)

FAVORITE! :)

We definitely had to be a little creative with how we shot their ceremony- The island photographer was there, and despite Julie repeatedly telling her she didn’t need her services, she showed up anyway!

It started to sprinkle just before the ceremony was over, so they wrapped things up in the gazebo:

My next favorite- Julie, I think this looks like a perfume ad or something! :)

Gotta love the view from their reception location!

Christopher’s parents tore up the dance floor! :)

There may have only been 8 people on the floor all night, but this was the “danciest” reception I’ve ever seen!!!!!

Christopher, I love you!

Julie and Christopher, we were so honored to capture your day! Thank you so much for letting us be a part of your adventure. We love you guys- Happy almost anniversary! :)
