Last weekend I was lucky enough to escape the snow in Boulder for a destination wedding at The Breakers in Palm Beach, Florida. Rebecca, Todd and I first met over the holidays last year when we shot their engagement photos. That photo shoot was a nice start, but it was nothing compared to the epic-ness of their wedding day! Check out the venue, First Class all the way!
We started out the day with a generous helping of creative detail shots, because we all know how much I love those! But after an hour of arranging inanimate objects it was on to people, people, people! We shot a few bridal portraits then to the First Site. The Ceremony was set to go down at sunset, so we needed to have the couple see each other earlier in the day so we could shoot some fun portraits while there was still available light.
After the happy couple met and exchanged some smoochie boochies, it was on to my favorite part of the day, creative portraits with the couple. I usually try to mix up some traditional shots with some wacky ones . . . I like to show the unique ones on the blog!
This was my first wedding with my all new Nikon camera gear. It performed admirably . . . whew! I think my favorite new lens is the 14-24 zoom. I was able to take some cool wide shots. Like the next four for example.
The ceremony and reception sites were pretty over the top. The ceremony was right at sunset on a lawn that rolls right up to the beach and the Atlantic Ocean. The reception was held in this enormous dome of a room called The Circle Room.
It was so hard deciding which images to pick to show on the blog. I wound up showing a lot of the scenic and composed photos because I thought they were visually striking. But don’t let that fool ya, there were more touching moments captured than you can shake a stick at!
