Sunrise Trash the Dress | Wedding Photographer Victoria, BC

When you are in an exotic place, you can't forgo sunrises for sleep.  Just can't happen.  That's why Amanda and Jordan got up for 6:15am to catch the sunrise over the ocean the day after their wedding.  The morning was amazing and the light gorgeous, the newlyweds, even more gorgeous.  They sat on the rocks, played in tide pools and ocean, and then after getting a bit wet, the dress got carried.  I really can't pick my favourite shots, as many more from this morning session that I adore.  The best line from the day.....when we were leaving the beach and rinsing off the dress and our feet from the sand, a guy said, "that must have been some wedding party." Yes, it sure was.  Congratulations Amanda + Jordan.  It was my pleasure to be part of your very special week.

Amanda + Jordan | Wedding Photographer Playa Del Carmen, Mexico

 I met Amanda and Jordan through my sister and brother-in-law.  They have become friends as they attend family birthdays and dinner parties.  When they got engaged last fall and Amanda started to talk about her beach wedding, I was thrilled to be asked to be the photographer.  We arrived in Playa del Carmen, Mexico (a resort area about 1 hour south of Cancun) on Boxing Day.  The next day was the wedding so not a lot of time to get acquainted with the area, but an early morning run on the beach introduced me to this paradise like location.  The location was the Sandos Playacar resort and it was lovely.  The wedding was a small and intimate affair on the beach (well if 100 people watching from their reclining chairs on the beach is small and intimate).  We had a lot of fun, both the day of the wedding, the sunrise trash the dress session the next morning (images coming this week), and the rest of the week.  Enjoy Amanda and Jordan.

Every bride needs a picture with the policia federal on her wedding day!
