Stephanie and Jeff got married at the Iberostar Rose Hall Beach on Thursday April 23. Iberostar is a new hotel located just 20 minutes from the Sangster International Airport. Olive and I are so impressed with the hotel that we are planning on staying there with the kids.

Stephanie and Jeff were great to work with and we had a wonderful time with them, their family and friends. Here are a few of our favorite photos from their special day.

Yolan and Mark got married at Riu Tropical Bay, Negril. The ceremony was at 2:00pm. Needless to say it was a very hot day however Mark and his groomsmen had an advantage as they were wearing Kilts.

Olive and I travelled from Montego bay to Negril and started shooting at 11:30 am. Here are a few of our favorites.

Yolan and Mark did not have a reception.





Amanda and Matt got ready at Riu Resort, Ocho Rios and the ceremony was at the beautifu vacation retreat Firefly which was the home of Sir Noël Coward and his longtime companion, Graham Payn.

Here are some of my favorites from the day.

The fan was real noisy.  This is Amanda willing it to stop.

Brandy, Amanda’s bridesmaid, hugging Amanda after getting a gift with Candice, Amanda’s sister and Maid of Honor, in the background looking on.

I just love the look on Amanda’s face in this one.
