Wedding Inspiration

feeling That Tiki Hut Vibe...mindy & Paul At The Beach At Atlantic Bay Resort.

when We Heard The Officiant Was Her Mom, And The Bridesmaids Were Their Teenage Daughters And The Groomsman Was Their Son. Our Eyebrows Slowly Crept Up To Our Hair Line! And Then They All Came Into Sharp Focus, On The Day. Once We Met The World Fell Into Place. Initially Their Eyebrows Went Up To Their Hair Line. I'm Not What Most People Expect! But Wielding That Many Cameras All At Once Gives You Muscles And You Have To Stay Fast On Your Feet To Keep Track Of The Bride And The Groom. To Capture The Story Of The Day. It Is A Little Bit Like Athletics And Technology Combined.

also, I Had A Thing With The Groomsman In His African Wedding Suit. That Is One Adorable Human, He Performed Great Feats Of Jumping...and Stayed Tidy The Entire Time, His Grandmother, Their Officiant, Was The Gentle But Firm Guiding Hand. I Loved The Family And Their Dynamic. These People Are So Good To Be Around. Thanks For Being So Good. When You Have A Basketball Champ And A Gold Medalist In Jiu Jitsu You Kind Of Get The Impression They Are A Go-get-em 'no Bull' Type Of Tribe.

being One Of These Types Of People, With This Type Of Out There Family, Myself I Appreciate That.

strong Humans. Fearless. Independent With Minds Of Their Own. Bravo!

hence This Beautifully Meaningful, Budgeted Well Put Together Elopement, Designed, Choreogroaphed And Produced By Mindy, With A Little Help From Me And Grandma. And A Lot Of Patience From Paul...a Lot, And The Girls, Who Participated More Than I Hoped For, Dancing, Singing, Basketball & Jiu Jitsu...i Love Your Skills, Got To See Them All, Eventually.

i'm Going Wild Over Over This Elopement Session I Shot With Sallie & Brent! Their Wedding Was Originally Planned For 2020, But Has Now Been Rescheduled To Next Year Due To The Covid-19 Shutdown. So We Planned An Elopement Session To Celebrate Their Official Wedding Day. They're Such A Fun Couple, And I Had An Amazing Time Photographing Them In This Gorgeous Place. Looking Forward To Heading Out To Ny To Photograph Their Big Celebration Next Year!

many Thanks To Susanne At Crown Weddings For Putting It All Together And Dawn At Tularosa Flowers For The Beautiful Florals.

this Film Maker & Photographer Is So Blessed Beyond Her Understanding To Have Met Them And Had Them With Me For Their Beautiful Ceremony. Elopement And Wedding Photography & Film Is Not Easy. But We Knew These Two Were Unique And Super Lovely. So We Went For The Complete Package With Still Images And Video To Share Their Beautiful Story.

for Real. The World Does Stop When It's Your Turn. When The People And Things Around You Bend Ever So Slightly, Without Perhaps Even Looking, In Your Direction. To Catch A Glimpse Or Steal A Peek.

the Noise Of The Ocean, Boats, The Palms, Birds Gently Drop To A Whisper, The Hush Comes Over Your Space. Dolphin Fins Break The Waters Surface. They Wasn't To Hear Too.  a Magical Un-written Silence Befalls Any Revelry, Even The Cats Stop, Regally Poised And Gaze Upon That Mysteriously Impregnable Bubble That Encompasses You For Your Pledge Of Love, Vow Of Commitment, Statement Of Life Time Bonding.

kayla And Anthony Surprised Me Every Step Of The Way. From Hello To Thank You. The Thank You, Like The Hello, Comes From Such An Obviously Deep Embrace For The Love In The World. It Came Out In This Way In Our Photographs, But Also In Her Reaction To Them.

"still Swooning. I Definitely Cried Viewing Them. You Are So Talented. Idk How You Did It But You Captured Us So Perfectly. Every Time I Look At Them I Relive The Best Day Of My Life & That Is Exactly What Every Bride Should Feel. Needless To Say You Exceeded Our Expectations. You Will Forever Hold A Special Place In My Heart & I Just Know Our Paths Crossed For A Reason. You Will Be A Lifelong Friend. Please Send Me Where To Drop A Review Of Your Amazing Work. We Love You Nada ❤️"

and So The World Is Elevated A Little By This Beauty. This Moment. The Capturing Of Which We Are Blessed To Have Been A Small Part Of.  Where There Is True Love There Is A Legend In The Making. These Two Young Souls Have The Makings Of Legends.

young, Savvy And Both Fast, Really Fast Runners. Like All Young People Should Be, Their Visit To The Florida Keys Was Packed With Honeymooning Trips That Would Satisfy Even The Radd-est Adventurer.

there Was An Epic Back Country Honeymoon Fishing Trip, By The Photos She Sent My Way...she Out-fished Him. Setting The Tone For The Future Mr & Mrs 'fish-on' Bynum.
