Since most destination weddings have multiple events, I was there to cover several different moments: the rehearsal dinner, getting ready, the ceremony and reception, and a day-after shoot. THEN, a few weeks after the Jamaican Wedding, Jesse and I traveled to Erin & Dustin’s Upstate NY wine country wedding that they shared with their extended group of family and friends. It was the best of both worlds- an intimate destination wedding (with tons of destination wedding photography, of course) and a big party back home!
Location: Ocho Rios Sandals Resort in Jamaica
