Tim + Shauna {Trash the Dress}

I’m not even sure how to start this post… Going to Aruba and photographing Tim & Shauna’s wedding was simply amazing, and then doing this really fun session afterwards – let’s just say awesome doesn’t describe it! I highly recommend these day after sessions because you no longer need to worry about keeping your wedding clothes clean, it’s all about cathing “the moment.” Here are some of my faves, enjoy!

What a love story! And what a wedding! I feel so blessed to have met this couple and to be the one to capture one of the most important days of their lives. Shauna’s dress by Maggie Sottero was simply stunning and a perfect match for Tim’s sharp suit. They just fit. I also loved the colors they picked. Shauna’s “something blue” was definitely there!

T+S, I wish you all the best in your married life together, lots of happiness, laughter, trips to Aruba, sunset dinners… Everything! I hope you are enjoying your honeymoon!

And to everyone else, enjoy the sneak peek and stay tuned for their Trash the Dress session – yes, they went in the water!!!

This past week I had the pleasure of flying to Aruba to photograph Tim and Shauna’s wedding. This couple is simply amazing and it was really great to work with them. Aruba is beautiful and these are some pictures from the civil ceremony. A LOT more pictures to come!

Here are some pics of brasilia, capital of Brazil… Laura, you asked for more pics of Brazil, so here they are!

This next one represents the “Candangos” which is a nickname for people born in Brasilia.

And for some reason, this next one is one of my favorites! I just love the way the bird looks on top of the building…

Well, I’ve been back, since the 6th, but my body is still in vacation mode… I’m editing some pics from Brazil so I thought I would share one from our trip to the state of Goias! Enjoy!
