SLIDESHOW

I was so excited to be part of Kelly and Derek’s celebration for their Grand Old House Wedding in South Sound, Grand Cayman. The entire family were what was important with this celebration. From the proposal, to the choosing of the dress, the getting ready, the first look and the tying of the knot the four little ones were right in the thick of it. The couple tied the knot and actually had the 4 children each hold a strand.

He had help from all the kids. We were getting ready for family picture and he had the kids write a note for me to come out to the living room where he picked rose petals from the garden and the kids were standing behind him holding “Will you marry me?” Each kid was holding a signing and he was in the middle on one knee holding the ring. When I said yes all the kids were jumping up and down screaming they were so excited.

We had a wonderful day with Rebecca. From the moment her and I connected via email I knew I wanted to work with her. She genuinely wanted to be there for our wedding and was excited for us. She gave us great advice and brought us to the most beautiful locations. We could have drove around the island with her all day! Shooting 4 kids had to be challenging and they didn’t complain because she made it fun for them.

The dance was the best! Everyone danced all night even though it was scorching hot! Afterwards we ended the night with everyone swimming in the ocean under the stars.
