Here is a retroactive blog post from 2009...just wanting to get a little "couple loving" out there for V-day!
This wedding was at the awesome Secrets Maroma Hotel. We have done very little shooting there actually and enjoyed seeing the property again. For me, it was my first time shooting there!
Dianne + Ryan actually eloped and planned for ZERO guests to attend, just a private evening on the beach with words of matrimony.... However, as outgoing as they were, they met up with lots of people at the resort prior to their wedding and befriended them. These folks attended the ceremony, dressed to kill, as always :)
For my photographer amigos checking out this blog.... this was only 2 hours of coverage. WOW, when was the last time you shot a wedding, only 2 hours of shooting....

I love shooting random images to establish a sense of place....

Matt's photo (this was actually a very funny moment as it seems there is somewhat of an inside joke among B&G and all their amigos they met at the resort the week of the wedding. Appaarently, when viewed from a certain angle, the central palapa and its side "twins" (as seen in the background) appear to be rather phallic in nature...
