Today I’m super excited to finally share with you Robyn and Abe’s completely ah-mazing destination wedding at the Beach House Villas in Negril, Jamaica! Where do I even start? Last November I joined three of my favorite past brides (Em KB, Ashley KB and Emily S) on a multi-leg, several hour journey to the magical island of Jamaica in order to capture Robyn and Abe’s beautiful celebration. We had lots of fun leading up to the big day including scuba diving, sun tanning, coconut eating, and a crazy fun Jamaican bar sing-along beach party (ask me to see photos later, Ashley you know what I’m talkin about). The morning of the wedding, it was all hands on deck and everyone came together to put up decorations, set the tables and get the bride and groom ready. Henry helped Abe with his traditional Ghanaian wardrobe which was hand made in Ghana. Robyn’s sister Em helped her into her gown while Emily did Robyn’s hair and assisted with the garter (also made of Ghanaian fabric). Robyn wore the same hair piece that her sister did at her wedding, a beautiful jeweled comb they found while in Europe together. Her unique and stunning antique ring is from around 1900! A massive rain shower rolled through for about an hour just before their first look, but you’d never know it looking through their photos, save for the gorgeous rainbow it left behind. The ceremony was short and very sweet (just like I like them) and I especially love how happy they look coming back down the aisle as husband and wife. 🙂 We finished up their photos just as the sun set and then the real party began. I was fortunate enough to join in the celebration once the open dancing started and we had SO much fun! I can’t tell you enough how much I adore Robyn and Abe, their families and friends. I feel so incredibly blessed to have met these two and honored to have been treated like family while being able to capture these once in a lifetime moments. Big hugs and huge thanks and much love and bright glow sticks to everyone who joined us on this amazing journey to celebrate these two beautiful humans. xo, Amy
