ANTIGUA WEDDING PORTRAITS

Today we bring you an amazing image from Jaclyn and Darryl's wedding! 

Jaclyn and Darryl had a 2 part wedding. They were married here at the Lockport Locks and had an amazing reception. Then it was off to Antigua for their wedding photo shoot! Yes, we had the honor of going to the Sandals Grande Antigua Resort and Spa for Jaclyn and Darryl's photos! We had the pleasure of documenting this fun couples trip. From casual outfits, bathing suits, and dinner attire, to getting all dolled up for the wedding dress and suit!

This was so much fun! It started out like any normal wedding day for us. I was with Jaclyn for hair and makeup, while Neal was with Darryl for his getting ready. Once Jaclyn was all done, we walked back to the room for her to get ready. We then did a first look! You may be thinking, they are already married. Why a first look? Well, we wanted it to feel like the wedding day all over again so that their album can flow to tell a story. Without a first look then their album would go from their wedding reception and jump to portraits in Antigua. Now we've created new moments so it tells a story of their entire wedding story! And it was amazing! Once they did a first look then it was off to shoot all over the area for sunset.

Thank you to some staff at the Resort, we were pointed in this direction. An old telephone booth down the beach! How crazy is that? What an odd place for a booth. It wasn't just a regular phone booth either, it was like a red one that you see in Europe! Perfect for wedding photos! And Jaclyn and Darryl were up for anything crazy and out of the box. Right up Neal's alley!

Look how much fun this is! With the assistance of Darryl on this, we had him hold a light inside of the phone booth. From there, we added some light on their faces (we actually did some without the addition of light to their faces too). And here you go! This is one favorite (so far)!
