Wanda & Rourke | Bahamas Wedding Day 1

So much to say about the experience I had at Atlantis in the Bahamas documenting Wanda and Rourke‘s fantastic wedding.  I was there with my friend Wayne Toshikazu, who was so important in helping me document everything and did an awesome job getting great images…thanks Wayne!  I have to say the biggest thing that I loved about being there, was how much of a celebration is was for Wanda and Rourke and their friends and family who came out to celebrate along with them.  Wanda and Rourke are such a fun couple, so it was no surprise that their friends and family were just as fun and everyone had a blast.  I will be blogging this in three different parts, as there were three main days we were photographing everything.  The first day, we did a lifestyle session around Atlantis and the surrounding area and that was followed in the evening by a little party by the aquarium.

I honestly could blab on and on about my experience there as well as about all of the awesome people I had the opportunity to meet, but I know you just want to see some pics right?!?  Here is day one…

The party was held in Fathoms, which is a little open area with one of the walls being the huge aquarium…
