Jon & Holly Get Married in the Dominican!

I had the pleasure of attending Jon & Holly’s wedding while down in the Dominican. My first beach wedding and it was grand! Simple, relaxed and beautiful. Since I was not the official photographer, I only took a few shots and tried not to be THAT PERSON at a wedding getting in the way of the hired photographer. Those Uncle Bob’s or Aunt Jane’s or Cousin Vinny’s are the worst. Please don’t be that person when you attend a wedding because the photographer is doing their best to get the shot as that’s what they were hired for but they can’t do it if your head is always in the way. K? Thanks :)

Anyway, it was a lovely wedding with perfect weather and an amazing backdrop. However, our tan lines and sunburns were something else but those details just add to the wedding story :) Thank you Jon & Holly for letting me be a part of your big day! Congrats to you both! On our next trip however, I will opt out of the parasailing ;)

I finally had my first taste of an all-inclusive resort last week – it tasted mostly like jello. For whatever reason, I was loving it last week while I stayed at the Hotel Riu Palace Punta Cana. I ate jello for 4 days, who does that?? Aside from the delicious jello, the hotel was pretty sweet. The beach was even more amazing and stretched far beyond what I was willing to walk haha. That sun is serious business! My boyfriend, his family and I were in Punta Cana to attend his sister’s wedding. I love how relaxing the wedding was, simple and beautiful and all the important people were there to celebrate her big day.  Congrats to Jon & Holly! Shots from their wedding will be posted later.

So I’ve never experienced the wonderous world of all-inclusive resorts before and all of the eating, beaching, sleeping, swimming, snacking, sleeping, eating, sleeping and never having to get my wallet out. It was splendid! It also felt great to be disconnected for once and just slowing down and enjoying my fruit punch. I probably didn’t utilize the all you can drink aspect as much as others but I loved their fruit punch with pineapple and cantaloupe pieces. Not very exciting but MAN IT’S GOOD! I absolutely love the beach and being able to shoot there is that much better. Watching the sunrise on a beach is the only thing I will voluntarily get up at 6:00am for.  Aside from that I have a rule, friends don’t call friends before 10am. My friends know it haha. Overall, a fantastic week and I think I managed to get some pretty good shots. Like all vacations, the return to reality is the worst part. Or if you’re like me, you just deny it while topping off your fruit punch with a little blue umbrella! Yum! Hope you enjoy the photos! Leave a comment and let me know what you think! You can also take me on your next vacation and I will take the most beautiful jumping shot you’ve ever done :)

Back from the Dominican!

March 14th, 2011

I meant to do a quick post on my way out last week so you all didn’t think I was just being lazy and not updating but I couldn’t connect to the wifi at the airport for some reason. Anyhoo, as noted in the title, I went to the Dominican!  Now two shades darker, 6lbs [...]
 

I meant to do a quick post on my way out last week so you all didn’t think I was just being lazy and not updating but I couldn’t connect to the wifi at the airport for some reason. Anyhoo, as noted in the title, I went to the Dominican!  Now two shades darker, 6lbs heavier and a little reluctant to accept my return to reality, I’m back and have lots of eye candy to share! Gonna head to bed now but here’s one taken with my iPhone 4. Again, I I tried posting this after I took it but phone wouldn’t connect. Two amazing things about this photo, the beach and the fact that I can solve the Rubik’s Cube again. Best vacay ever :)

 

Update: My record time is 1:32, fastest time I got last week was 2:19 while panicking on the plane (I always fly with my Rubiks cube).
