Hammock at the Beach

There is nothing quite like resting in a hammock on the Seven Mile Beach in the Cayman Islands. I just love the colors in this photo.

The Newlyweds in Black and White

This photo was taken shortly after the ceremony as the Newlyweds took a few moments to relax on the beach and enjoy the moment. Simone and Pierre both looked absolutely radiant and extremely happy together. I wish them all the best.

A Handsome Groom

Richard — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 13:00:31 +0000

This photo of Pierre was taken after the wedding ceremony as he was enjoying his a glass of champagne and talking to friends and family. I have discussed this before, people take absolute great photos when you are not posing them. One of the things I try very hard to do is to blend into the background and let people forget that I am even there taking photos.

A Tight Fitting Wedding Ring

Richard — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 13:00:48 +0000

I have seen it happen before, no matter how much you plan, sometimes that ring just will not go on very easily. I love Simone’s face expression as she “slides” the tight fitting wedding ring on.

The Maid of Honour

Richard — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 13:00:25 +0000

I absolutely love this photo of the Maid of Honour with the happy couple in foreground. This photo was taken during the ceremony as I was given the opportunity to walk around during the ceremony (one of the benefits I have previously discussed about weddings held outside).

A Beach Wedding

Richard — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 01:40:12 +0000

This weekend was the first time in four months since my accident that I used the camera for more than a couple of minutes. I was fortunate to be asked to photograph a lovely beach wedding between Simone and Pierre on the Governor’s beach on Seven Mile Beach in the Cayman Islands.
