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…
We started out on the beach…it was pretty darn hott!
Atlantis makes for a good backdrop…
Found some good light…
Love this light too!
Love this setting.
The party was held in Fathoms, which is a little open area with one of the walls being the huge aquarium…
This is what you eat when on Paradise Island…
Guests of honor arrive = party time!
I don’t recommend the Leroy special…it isn’t very good 😉
Right, and I’m NOT a photographer…
Nice place for a party eh?
Love this pic…
Maybe he’s tweeting 🙂 “Standing in front of a really frikin’ huge aquarium and there’s a Manta Ray coming right at me…HELP!”
The moms…
Wanda’s dad.
Rourke and his little bro…
Just a few of the guests…
