I like to think I have no words to describe the divinely beautiful and luscious adventure that was Nik and Renee's wedding, but I will certainly try my best in any case. The photo above was a sweaty, adrenaline-pumping event that almost didn't happen, since many of you know sunsets in tropical places are quick and dynamic. The huge expanse of the resort coupled with what we affectionately call "Jamaica time" -as in the front staff were so slow getting a cart that Nik ended up carrying my power pack through a muddy, tree-lined dirt path to reach our perfect photo destination. Also, these rocks are sharp! Not to mention electrical equipment that has spent its lifetime in dry Edmonton is not happy in humid Jamaica. Not HAPPY AT ALL. Two lights, four cables, and a lot of prayers induced the flash to FINALLY fire.
I met Renee when I still worked at MAC, and we hit it off so well that she liked me enough to take us with her and Nik on their wedding adventure. By the time their wedding rolled around in the middle of the week, we were so attached to them that I had a hard time shooting through my tears of joy, although as Penny can attest, I cry easily at weddings. Not in a creepy way, I swear.
In short, we love them. They have become the newest addition to our Settlers of Catan nerd circle and I can't see them being allowed to leave.
Enjoy some of their pre-wedding shoot, with actual wedding photos to come!!
Renee started thinking about marrying Nik and then started crying. So sweet!!
