SLIDESHOW

The minute I met Amanda and Joe I knew their beach wedding was going to be incredible, both so fun and totally trusting when it came to planning their photos. We started with the getting ready at the absolute stunning villas of Beachcomber. In Amanda’s villa, the decor was all white which just made the getting ready shots so stunning. Getting married on the beach right there at Beachcomber was important as the family has been part of this property and coming to the Cayman Islands since the 1980’s. After the ceremony the guests all just walked down the beach to Luca at the Caribbean Club, one of Cayman’s finest restaurant.

What advice would you offer other couples planning a destination wedding?
Do it, just freaking do it. So worth it.

I just love the simple setup and total privacy for this beach weddingWhat made you choose the Cayman Islands for your destination wedding?
Joes family has owned a place at the beach comber for 30 years.

How did you two meet?
Through mutual friends at a bar.

How did he pop the question?
We lately moved into a lake house. Joe proposed on the island we pass every day. He proposed the day before my 30th birthday. Very special. There were candles and pictures all over the island.

What was your favourite moments from the wedding?

Our dance, our first look, everything was out of a dream.

How did you feel during your vows or just before you walked down the aisle?
Happy.How would you describe your overall wedding experience?
Unreal, crazy fun, a dream.

What’s one piece of advice you would give to other couples for planning their wedding?

Remember what it’s all about. Me and Joe. Joining our lives forever. Cut the drama. It should be special, every step.

What was the first song you danced to as husband and wife? Father-daughter dance? Mother-son dance?
Our song is take the world by johnny swim Joes mom passed, so he danced with his sister, Danielle. She picked a slow song, then 30 seconds in, changed it to their favorite dance song from the 90s. It was sweet.Any tips on how to prepare for the wedding photos? Did I give you enough time?
Plenty of time. A drink always helps…loosens you up to enjoy them more. Otherwise I would have looked too stiff!We love to hear about vendors you love. List any vendors here and feel free to share your experience. Be sure to include the name of the vendor, their profession, city/state, site or Facebook page and how your experience was!
Jackie for hair and make up( awesome) Luca was so great. Laura was so easy to work with. Dj Craig was perfect! I was an annoying bride about play lists and what not and he killed it.What were you most anxious, nervous or fearful about regarding your wedding day and what was the outcome?
That everyone would feel appreciated and loved. I think we achieved it.
How did you find your photographer? Online research? Word of mouth?
Everyone on the island told me! All you have to say is, ” I’m getting married” and everyone says “not without Rebecca!”
