Photographing Mike and Christiane's wedding in Cuba was a definite highlight of my year. Everything was so beautiful, blue skies, flowers, pillars, sunsets.........so fun! There were about 30 wedding guests, all awesome, which made for a beautiful, intimate wedding and even better vacation (there was always someone to play water polo or beach badminton with!). Here are some of my favorite photos.
Cuban resort breakfast, the little side dish of chocolate sauce is not in the photo.
Reason #1 why beach weddings are so awesome - you can enjoy an alcoholic beverage while waiting for the ceremony to start!
After taking this photo I showed it to Christiane. Her reaction? Saying "It's so beautiful" and then bursting into tears. I don't go out of my way to make our brides cry but I did have a little 'Yay Me!' moment.
When we stopped at the room after the ceremony we found that the maids had decorated the room for Mike and Christiane. They even used her veil on the little towel bride they made. Cute!
I was so excited to do some beach sunset photos! The challenge? Getting everything done quickly as the sun sets really fast, watching the tide to make sure it did not soak my battery pack (or me), and hollering at wandering tourists to keep them out of my shot. I am really happy with the results and loved every minute of it though! Many thanks to Christiane's Dad, Gaston, who held my battery pack out of the water.
I'm still not sure where the animal print coat came from but you had to wear it before you did a speech!
Chicken Dance!
More funny than Mike's face in this photo is the guys in the background!
I still have the sand in my light bag to remind me of all the good times (although it annoys Aspen). Thanks again friends!!
