CLANCY + A.J. - Abacos Wedding - Part I of II

I've got a little piece of tropical paradise to share with you today! Earlier in April, I flew down to Hope Town on the island of Elbow Cay in the Bahamas to photograph Clancy & A.J.'s wedding. I had such a wonderful time visiting the island again! Be on the lookout for their beautiful beach wedding later this week, but for now, please enjoy some of my favorites from their rehearsal dinner at Harbour's Edge. : )

It was a tad too windy to do the rehearsal on the beach, so they opted to do a run through on the lawn. How adorable are the ring bearers?

Awesome hairpiece!

The gorgeous necklaces that Clancy gave her bridesmaids.

Love this shot of Clancy in her pirate hat!

The bride-to-be and her "Bahamasistas"!

The happy couple. : )

ANNE-LAURE + DALLAS - France Wedding

Dallas and Anne-Laure were married on the weekend after Bastille Day (French National Day) in Noirmoutier, France. Say helloooo to this gorgeous couple:

Like I said in my e-shoot post, these two are so special to me. I wish they didn't live in Denmark! Hopefully one day, when we're all not expecting it... they'll move back to the U.S. : ) I was incredibly lucky to get to document their big day, and I'll always treasure this experience of a lifetime. You guys (and your families, of course!) are THE BEST. Congrats a thousand times over, you two!

The dutiful matron of honor wrangling the men... : )

You are stunning, AL!

This is the MOST funny "Blue Steel" photo that I'll ever take. Hands DOWN.

Dallas giving a nod to where he grew up (the U.S.) and where he got married (France). Love!

The moment below is right after the priest blessed the rings and Anne-Laure accidentally dropped Dallas's. Love the priest's face...

This shot is for Dallas's mother - FIST PUMP!

Love this of Anne-Laure looking at Dallas's dad.

One of the bridesmaids was joking about being in Anne-Laure & Dallas's "married" session. Most awkward and HILARIOUS photo ever!

Waving to the many tourists that flocked to the island that weekend...

There was so much food! Lots of little tastings instead of big servings... great idea!

Mother of the groom getting teared up. Priceless.

They went into their first dance swaying slowly...

...and then kicked it up a notch!

In France, the tradition is to cut and share brioche, or sweet bread, instead of a wedding cake. It was delicious!

And of course I'm ending with a macaron ring shot - it's a traditional French confectionery. They were absurdly tasty. : )
