Months ago, Patience and JR asked me if I'd travel to Jamaica with them to photograph their wedding. I was completely overwhelmed to receive such as request. As a photographer, I always feel as if I'm granted a huge gift when a client places their trust in me for their wedding day. But when a couple is willing to fly you to the Carribean and let you be a part of their inner circle of family and friends who accompanied them, it's just more than I can describe. My most humble thanks to Patience and JR for giving me the opportunity to share one of the most special weeks of my life with them. I truly mean it - you guys rock!
The Northwest from Memphis into Montego Bay was a easy flight. I climbed into a taxi and experienced an incredible 1.5 hour coastal ride into Negril. By the time I settled in for the night at the beach resort that Patience and JR had selected for me, I fell alseep listening to the waves lap onto the sandy beach just outside my window.
When I awoke the next morning, the skies were gray and the weather drizzled rain. It was a dreadful sight and I wondered how our wedding on the beach would turn out. I had real concerns. I took a taxi to Sandals where Patience and JR had a honeymoon suite and crossed my fingers.
Like a chapter out of a perfect wedding novel, just 30 minutes prior to the wedding, the clouds broke and the sun shone down in a fiery burst drying everything in minutes. The wedding was so incredibly special. To be there with just their immediate family and their lifelong friends was just a privlege that I could not repay. It was really very special.
The shoot went fantastically (come, on, it's Jamaica!). We sessioned on two different beaches and had a private driver take us West to the cliffs for even more photos. Posted here are just a few of my favorites.
THANK YOU Patience and JR for being the coolest, badest, hippest, trendiest and, well, just the best! I'll never forget my experience with you guys!
