There comes a point in a person’s life (or many points, for that matter), when you step back and consider yourself SO BLESSED for all the things. I have those moments of reflection so often, because I have the opportunity to meet and work with so many amazing and loving people. When I got to meet Beckie and Jeremy for the first time, I knew they were going to be amazing to work with, but I never expected to be so blown away by their genuine and kind spirits…and amazing smiles!

I hopped on a plane to the Dominican Republic mid-September and headed to their destination wedding, where they were meeting 50 of their closest friends and family. I was so excited for the sunny weather and dreamy, beachy light! Their resort was beautiful and lush…a perfect background for their nuptials. Their wedding plans just so happened to fall on National Talk Like a Pirate Day, and the wedding – taking place in the Carribbean – also went along with that “Pirates of the Carribbean” spirit. It was SO FUN. Over the several days that I was there, I got to spend time with their friends and family, and could just tell how loved and treasured they are. There was just so much joy poured out on these two, it just made the whole time together perfect. (Side Note: Beckie runs a blog, National Whatever Day. It’s hilarious and you should check it out!)

I’m so excited to share these images with you… the day was fun, intimate and laid back, which made it so very memorable and sweet. Congratulations Beckie + Jeremy! Check back soon for Part 2: Their Day-After Session on the beach at sunrise!
