Destination_Wedding_Bahamas19.jpgMeet Brad and Courtney, an incredibly kind-hearted, fun and exuberant couple.

The night was filled with hip-shaking island music, a fish fry and good laughs and a hilarious toast given by Brad's Dad.

This is just one example of how friendly and sweet B&C are.

As I start to reminisce about the beauty and power of Courtney and Brad's Bahamian wedding I get goosebumps, as the memories of the sea, the vivid colors and the warm-hearted nature of everyone involved starts flooding back. This makes me so happy. Brad's genuine and caring nature and Courtney's fun-loving and compassionate personality welcomed us and showed us why their family and friends traveled to be near them on this day. Travis and I thank you for having us there on your remarkable day.

Jessica and Travis,

Thank you guys once again for making the trip and dazzling us with your amazing talents. After seeing a few incredible photos the day after the wedding, the anticipation for more has been killing us. These are just wonderful and thank you for the kind words. I can't tell you how nice it was down there to not have to worry about whether we were going to have amazing pictures of the special day. I'm not sure how we're going decide which ones to frame! Anything I can do for you, please let me know!

Ummmmmmm..... WOW.... Seeing these photos is like getting pinched... I thought it was just a really vivid dream.

Thank you for bringing your fabulous gift and tremendous spirit to our wedding in the Bahamas! I would've guessed that it would be an impossible task to capture the love that was in the room that night.. You captured what we were all feeling but never could've articulated. Thank you is an understatement. (tears)

We will always be your biggest fans...

Love,
Brad and Courtney

Jessica,

I've been meaning to post about this for a while so sorry for the tardiness. You just killed it with this slideshow! You are an insane talent and worth every penny (probably could have charged more, but I only say that now after the fact). What everyone can't believe is that almost none of these shots were posed (10% max) and nearly all candid. You and Erica were so cool and easy to work with and didn't take over the situation at any time. Sarah and I both wish you the most success. I can only take credit for the song selection which I was so surprised nobody had really heard. It's by this unknown guy named Eric Clapton. I've been told he is pretty good on the guitar by the way. All the best, Luke
