This morning, I'm putting the last of Kelli & Jeff's wedding package in the mail to them, and it's making me a little sad... theirs was such a special, intimate wedding, and I looked forward to it for so long it's hard to believe it's over! Kelli & Jeff have been together for a long time - they met in Sun Valley Idaho and have since moved to Hilton Head, SC. But did they choose either of those beautiful destinations for their wedding? No way! They pulled out all the stops and headed down to the Dominican Republic for a beautiful Caribbean beach wedding with their nearest and dearest family and friends.

The one thing about the Caribbean, as anyone who has been there knows, is that the weather can change on a dime. The ceremony was gorgeous - sunny, breezy, perfect - and we got this group shot of all the guests with blue skies in the background... but about three minutes after I took this picture, a huge raincloud appeared out of nowhere and it poured for ten minutes while the whole group took shelter under a nearby overhang:

Then, just as the sun was setting and the amazing full moon was rising, the rain stopped, and Kelli, Jeff and I got to take advantage of the extraordinary light for a short couples' session before the reception.Kelli & Jeff, it was such an honor to be there with you on your big day, with such a fun group, and in such a beautiful location. Keep an eye on your mailbox in the next couple of days :D

xox,
