HAPPY 2016
My year in Review.
It's a new year, a great time for a fresh start and to do things a little bit better than the year before. I have had a very blessed 2015, with amazing highs, wonderful clients, beautiful celebrations of marriage & life, and the opportunity to travel for work. I am so excited to see what the new year has in store.
May you all have a wonderful 2016!

Beautiful Splendid Wedding Company event.
And when I loved you, I realised, I have never truly loved anyone. I realised I never will truly love anyone the way I love you.

DESTINATION MEXICO | HOTEL LE RÊVE
"The Sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever"
~ Jacques-Yves Cousteau ~
When you think of a destination wedding, you think of sunsets and the sea, this was a dream wedding! I flew to Mexico to photograph Kelly & Eloise’s Mexican wedding and I enjoyed every second of this wedding.
They invited close friends and family to join them on their special weekend. Everyone was in a very relaxing mood, surely due to having margaritas, mexican beer, great food and getting some vitamin D from the sun. On the day of the wedding we had perfect weather and a beautiful ceremony on the beach. Afterward the bride & groom where showered with rice and everyone cast a stone into the sea with some well wishes for the couple.

A dream, if I may say. The sunshine and endless ocean views obviously are pulling at my snowed-in heart strings, but the thing that really put me over the edge? The Groom sent in the description below, and that gets be every time….
