Wedding Dates Update
Posted on January 21, 2008
I figured I should probably post an update here as to what dates I still have left for 2008.
April – Booked
May – Booked
June – Booked
July – Booked
August – 29th-30th
September – 12th-13th
October – 24th-25th
November & December are completely open, but that’s to be expected since it’s outside the “official” wedding season. So, I only have a few more dates left on the calendar for this year! I may decide not to fill all of these dates, but if the requests come in, I have a hard time turning them away. I do need to set more time aside this year than I did last year, especially durnig the fall when I have alot of engagement and family sessions outside with the leaves.

Jay & Alyssa – Married on January 12th, 2008 in Mexico!!
Posted on January 18, 2008
Jay is a good friend of ours and was actually the best man in our wedding! When he told us he was getting married in Mexico, we couldn’t wait to get on that plane to be there for them. I also happened to bring my camera with, so I got the opportunity to snap some fantastic shots. They couldn’t have asked for a better night for their wedding. It was very hot during the day, but as the sun started to go down, the weather cooled down a bit. After the ceremony, we went to one of the resort’s restaurants and then off to a private dance party with a DJ right off the beach. There was a total of 14 family & friends who came to Mexico to attend Jay & Alyssa’s wedding. By the end of the week, we were all great friends! Here are my favorites from their day!
The resort didn’t serve Corona as their beer, but it’s Alyssa’s favorite type of beer. In fact, she almost considered not having the wedding at this particular resort for that very reason! Anyway, Jay arranged to have some bottles of Corona in Alyssa’s room the afternoon of the wedding while she was getting ready.
We had time to snap a quick picture in the resort’s lobby before taking the shuttle to where the ceremony was held.

Alyssa got a little emotional during her vows.
This was the group hired to play at the wedding. They provided some beautiful music for the small cocktail hour after the ceremony.
That’s my husband “cheesing” it up in the lower left-hand corner. 
Ok, so here are just a few pictures of them on the beach. After the formal pictures, we took the long route back to the main bar where we met up with everyone else.
At closer look, this picture is not tack sharp, but I don’t care. We were all riding on the shuttle and I was holding the camera way outside of the shuttle. Besides, the sky looks awesome!

We got an excellent deal on some Cuban cigars while on the beach. Most everyone (myself included!) enjoyed at least some of the cigars. I must confess that it was my very first experience with a cigar.

Ok, so I posted alot of pictures. Well, can you blame me?! It’s not like I go to Mexico every weekend to shoot a wedding
Finally!!!

I’ve been so busy the last few days, that I haven’t had a chance to post the pictures I took in Mexico. I have finally gotten around to it now. These are not the wedding pictures, but only some pictures I had a chance to snap during my vacation. There are not too many here, because I didn’t want to bring my camera down to the beach too often for a number of reasons (stolen, sand, etc.). However, the ones I did get I am very pleased with. The resort was beautiful (Gran Bahia Principe Tulum) and the service was excellent. I would recommend this resort to anyone who is looking for a nice, relaxing vacation.
This was the view from our room.
The resort was compromised of all of these buildings which held 20 or so rooms?
