Grand Palladium – Jamaica – Vusala and Gurban’s Destination Wedding!

This morning, I ran to the store to buy coffee and my iPhone told me it was six degrees. Six?!? Sorry Brooklyn, but that’s uncalled for! After I warmed up with my coffee I thought, what better way to battle the weather than with a little bit of eye candy featuring 86 degree weather, sun and beautiful beaches? So while you’re also (hopefully) cozied up with a warm beverage in bed or at least toasty behind your desk at work, I present to you this gorgeous destination wedding. I got along so well with Vusala and Gurban when I first met them at their engagement shoot in Central Park, but working with them in Jamaica was a total dream. There is nothing like working with a couple who have a great sense of humor and who are eager to venture into a resorts ‘restricted area’ and climb not-so-safe coral rocks upon their photographer’s request (thanks guys!).

We had a ton of fun. And, well, looking at these photos reminds me of the 86 degree weather we were lucky to experience, so hopefully they will warm you up a bit too!





Being a little sister myself, I truly appreciated the way Vusala’s little sis chose to kill some downtime!











The shot Vusala had her gown made for:


According to Gurban, this photo will be the cover of their wedding album…

    I wish I had known about you when I got married. I would have loved to have just ONE photo taken by you. Your work is beautiful.

  1. [...] In the past year I’ve been lucky enough to shoot three destination weddings. And in May I’ll be headed to Hawaii to shoot another (can’t wait!). I love doing them, but if I have any downtime, I’m not usually lugging my 5Ds around the resort or town. Here are some of my favorite iPhone shots from my travels to Puerto Vallarta, Riviera Maya and Montego Bay! [...]
