2nd Shooting with Becker

I had the honor of second shooting with Becker this last weekend. For those of you who don't know, he is an internationally acclaimed wedding photographer and an incredibly down to earth guy. It was a wonderful day with a beautiful couple, Valerie & John. Thank you Becker for having me. It was absolutely amazing to shoot with you. Words can't really express my gratitude (and many, many thanks for letting me blog some of my images here).

I love this picture of me with Becker, at the end of the evening. You can see Valerie twirling on the dance floor behind us.

The bridal party got ready at the Intercontinental Montelucia Resort & Spa. I love going in and photographing simply what is happening. Here are two of Valerie's bridesmaids, watching as she was getting her make-up done. Everyone was so mellow and relaxed and super nice.

Valerie's beautiful shoes!

Here is the dress before and after she put it on and her mom seeing her for the first time.

Valerie's bouquet and the rest of the floral designs were by Jan Dekker Designs.

Here Valerie is waiting to see John for the first time.

I love that I captured this expression as John was approaching her.

A quiet moment together.

Here Becker is taking some of his signature relaxed portraits of Valerie. I shot from the side.

These are more shots set up by Becker and I'm getting them from a different angle.

I absolutely loved the letterpress invitations!

The ceremony was beautiful.

Valerie's niece was the adorable flower girl.

Officially hitched.

The reception area was stunning. We had the pleasure of working with event planners, Jessica Martinez and Rebecca Coberly of Embellish.
