Jamaica Destination Wedding // Megan & Matt

I have some early memories from growing up with Matt and Megan. I remember riding the same bus as Megan in grade school, and drinking Busch Light with Matt in high school. And now as we all experience these milestones in life, I can’t express how honored I felt to be a part of their wedding celebration.

It was great to get away from the daily routine, go to Jamaica, celebrate Matt and Megan’s marriage, and see some of my best friends from growing up. I also met a bunch of great people, including Michael Ash. He made the trip, and shot this wedding with me. Check out his work here.

Megan & Matt // Jamaica Engagement Session

This session was done the day before their wedding in Jamaica. Looking back on these photos, it makes me really miss hanging out with everybody who made the trip for Matt and Megan’s wedding. I also miss the relaxed, easy-going, welcoming feel that I got from the Jamaicans.

Also, please visit my friend Michael Ash’s blog for many more photos from this session. He got some awesome frames as well.

Coming soon is the wedding from this trip, and I can’t tell you guys how happy I am with the images. I cannot wait to share it in the very near future.

tech careers - IT Jobs are being outsourced and offshored at an alarming rate. I was in corporate IT for over 20 years until I got sick of depending on a big corporation. Are you ready for a change? Find out about a career where YOU are the only limit to your income potential, you still get to use your IT skills, annd you set your own hours.November 1, 2011 – 11:42 am

Fotografo Bodas Alicante - Good Job!!March 6, 2012 – 4:37 pm
