where to start?
upon returning home from last yrs vacay from st. kitts with my family & friends i had a message from jessica. she viewed photographs of st. kitts on my travel website via St. Kitts & Nevis Forum. huge PROPS to all the contributers of myislands. if it weren’t for you (especially liz) jessica & john wouldn’t have found me. and to WINSTON from Bullseye car rental…you are great!!! seriously? …if you ever need any information regarding SKN this is theeee place to turn to. everyone who knows me well, is aware of the fact i’m not so constant with forums…i try…but obviously i hardly blog…
AND everyone who knows me is also privy to the fact that st. kitts is my favorite island in theeee entire Caribbean…we’ve been blessed to visit many islands…BUT st. kitts has captured my soul…it was my 8th time back…within 5 yrs… 
i feel as if i’m “home” when we are there…
i returned jessica’s call…she wanted to know if i would be interested in photographing their wedding in skb…hmmmm…what a really difficult decision…;)
COINCIDENTLY they lived 50 miles south of me. yes, the world is small. seriously…i receive an inquiry about photographing their wedding in st. kitts while i’m on the island AND then find out they are practically my neighbors!!!
imagine when i open my front door & there they were…jessica & john theee most ADORABLE couple. REALLY. they had me at “hi, will you go to st. kitts & photograph our wedding?”
BUT
getting to know them…especially talking to jessica a bunch of times & truly feeling a connection with her. knowing this special bond between the TWO of them. knowing THEIR story of how & when they met….
as a photographer (IMHO) it doesn’t matter how gorgeous the couples are OR how fabulous the location…IF they don’t have the LOVE, CHEMISTRY, & RAW EMOTION…then it will materialize on the photographs. i observed jessica & john’s powerful bond from our first meeting. THIS is why i was fortunate to capture their wedding. thank you BOTH so much! thank you JOHN for your patience on our “Dress-Up Day After” in Basseterre hehe…i can’t tell you how fantastic everything was…your friends & (oh my word) your family were soooo energetic & F.U.N…….and until our next shoot….YES, we all had such a blast that i am shooting them again this summer…YAY!!!
to my wonderful friend jamie scott who helped me second shoot jessica & john’s wedding. you made it even more special and i’m so very PROUD of you. xoxoxox to christen & shawn….you both are incredible. what a treat to photograph their wedding and have close friends with me…& practicing off camera lighting with you christen…thank you my dear friends….
to the entire management & staff of the Marriott St. Kitts…you continue to make me feel welcome & giving jessica & john some added perks. i greatly appreciate it. david khey we shall meet in person one of these days. thank you to hadiya mills the Marriott’s wedding coordinator & especially oschmo & yolta…i just love your smiles!!!
