Featured in Destination Weddings & Honeymoons Magazine | Lisa & Omar’s Moon Dance Cliffs Wedding Photos

December 15, 2011

It’s so hard to keep a secret, especially one this amazing, but now we can finally share the great news! Our super hot couple Lisa & Omar had their destination wedding at Moon Dance Cliffs in Negril, Jamaica featured in the Jan/Feb 2012 issue of Destination Weddings & Honeymoons magazine!!! I remember when I called Lisa to tell her the good news. I reached her voicemail, and I thought I was going to burst because I was soooo anxious to tell her that their dream of having their wedding in a magazine was coming true. When she called back, she couldn’t believe it! She even admitted that she wasn’t having the best day, but everything turned around when she heard the news!

Lisa & Omar had an intimate and very stylish wedding at Moon Dance Cliffs overlooking the ocean. Their wedding was personalized with handcrafted items found on Etsy, and everything tied together so beautifully! You can view more of their wedding photos in our previous blog posts:

Part I: The Ceremony at Moon Dance Cliffs
Part II: Sunset at the Cliffs and the Reception

It’s hard to choose a favorite part of the day, but I was particularly in awe of the fire dancer. It was such a special surprise that Lisa & Omar presented to their guests, who had traveled so far to celebrate with them!

Destination Weddings & Honeymoons is such a great resource for anyone planning a destination wedding (or, better yet, a honeymoon!)! Make sure to check out their recommendations for the Best Honeymoon Destinations for 2012!

It definitely was a source of inspiration when we planned our destination wedding! It also has a special place in our hearts because Destination Weddings & Honeymoons was the first magazine to ever feature one of our weddings! Last year, they featured Stacey & Mike’s Nassau destination wedding at Old Fort Bay in their October 2010 issue! We are so honored to have another wedding featured in this inspiring publication!

We’re excited about the destination weddings we’ll have to share with you in 2012, but this year is certainly one that we will never forget! We can’t wait to see Lisa & Omar over the holidays so we can give them a copy of the magazine (and see their gorgeous faces)! : )

Here’s a peek at the magazine (LOVE the cover with the cute little burro):

Lisa & Omar’s tablescape was also featured among an inspiring collection of destination wedding ideas. Their “seaside chic” setting included long tables overlooking the stunning cliffs and the ocean. Long tables are such an elegant and intimate choice for a wedding reception!

Featured on Florida Bride | Courtney & Brody’s Seaside Wedding Photos | North Florida Wedding Photographers

October 27, 2011

We love destination weddings, and living in Florida means that we’re within driving distance of some of the most beautiful beaches in the continental US. Perhaps the most beautiful of our beaches are along the Gulf shores of the Florida panhandle. This region is known as the Emerald Coast because of its stunning jewel-toned waters.

Courtney & Brody chose to have their destination wedding in Seaside, FL – one of the most charming beach towns on the Emerald Coast. Earlier this week we found out that their Seaside wedding photos were featured on the Florida Bride Magazine website! We had such a great time at their wedding, and we look forward to meeting up with them again on their next trip to Florida! : )

September 2, 2011

Earlier this week, we were thrilled to find out that Andrea & TJ’s gorgeous wedding at the Naval Academy was featured on the ever ours wedding blog! Andrea & TJ will be celebrating their anniversary exactly one month from today! I still swoon over these photos! It was such a romantic and beautiful wedding. Classic. Iconic. And we think Andrea & TJ are so cute that we just want to put them on top of a cake! Perfectly adorable bride and groom!

I hope that some day we get the opportunity to shoot another wedding at the Naval Academy, but this one will certainly live with us forever! The chapel, the classical music piping through, the grounds of the Academy, the rich history – such an honor to be part of it all! Thank you Lydia for sharing their wedding on your blog! We hope it inspires others as it continually inspires us {swoon}!

Featured on GetMarried.com | Jessica & Jeff’s Save The Card | Nashville Wedding Photographers

August 15, 2011

Talk about a great way to start the week! First, we gave away a copy of “Something Borrowed,” which comes out on DVD tomorrow! Then we found out that Jessi & Jeff’s Save The Date for their downtown Nashville wedding was featured on GetMarried.com under “10 Fun Save the Date Ideas .” Since they were married in Music City, they decided to have their friend (and amazing graphic designer) Cory Ridge design a backstage pass as their Save The Date! Certain badges, like those sent to the wedding party, were actually VIP passes! We totally love when a couple does something cute and creative like that!

Thanks so much to Get Married for including Jessi & Jeff in your top 10! The Save The Dates were just one of many amazing aspects of their Nashville wedding!

August 2, 2011

I got an email from Jet Blue today with airfare from $79 each way to Cancun, and I am SOOO tempted to book a flight, especially after Angie & Blake’s wedding at NOW Sapphire Riviera Cancun was featured on the Destination Inspirations blog last Friday!

Thank you to Jess at Destination Inspirations for featuring Angie & Blake’s beautiful wedding! We just love her blog! Jess also got married in Mexico, and even had the same DJ that Angie & Blake did! Just thought you all might enjoy that little tidbit! : )

July 1, 2011

Another one of our couples was featured while we were away shooting Lisa & Omar’s wedding at Moon Dance Cliffs in Jamaica! Lori & Bob’s sweet wedding at the San Marco Preservation Hall was featured on the Bow Ties & Bliss wedding blog! They loved the historic church, the color palette, and Lori’s incredible handmade elements! Lori is a jewelry artist, and she made her necklace, brooch bouquets for her and her MOH, and she also made a stunning cover for her grandfather’s Bible that matched her bouquet. It was such a lovely wedding, and we’re so thrilled that it was featured!

Thank you so much Bow Ties & Bliss! Brides, make sure to add them to your blog reader for more inspiration! : )
