Dozens of celebrants arrived in Aruba from New York on Thursday, to
participate in the nuptials of Renita James and Allen Coston to find
everything perfect except for one thing, the bride and groom were left
behind in New York!
All the attendants, parents and guests of the intended couple were
gathered at the Radisson Aruba Resort, Casino and Spa for the intended
ceremony, but Renita and Allen were held up at Kennedy Airport with their
ten-month old daughter, Ionee. They arrived a day behind everyone else.
Fortunately, the couple had allowed a one-day margin for error,
(in actuality to relax for the upcoming event) so they were able to walk
down the isle on that magic date 08/08/08, as planned.

They made a handsome couple with the stunning surrounding of the
Radisson Aruba Resort as a backdrop for their fantasy wedding close to
Aruba’s shores, performed by Reverend Bob Gibson of the Universal Life
Ministries. Attending them were groomsmen Krawshawn Lee, Lyndell James
and Alfonso Lee and Renita’s cousins Sharon James, Ashley James and
Nadia Glasgow acting as bridesmaids with Allen’s sister Brittany the
lovely flower girl. Ionee may have been a little too young to walk down
the aisle, but she was absolutely adorable dressed in the wedding colors
of ivory and green.

Palm trees and blue skies complimented those colors as the couple spoke
their vows and exchanged rings. Renita’s parents, Patrick and Jean,
have lived in the US nearly 40 years, but originally resided on Aruba
and interestingly enough, had not met until going to live in the United
States. Because of them being from the island, conducting the nuptials
here was like “coming home,” with many friends and family from Aruba
attending. They were proud to show off their beautiful island to
Allen’s family from New York, including his parents Delcenia and Allen
Senior.

Though it might have begun as something of a nightmare, Renita’s and
Allen’s dream of a picture-perfect wedding on Aruba, on a dream date,
which according to the Chinese, is very auspicious and promises great
success, came true. The wedding party witnessed a stunning ceremony and
then indulged in an elegant poolside party until well into the evening.

Congratulations Renita and Allen, may God richly bless this union.

Blessings,

I’ve had the absolute pleasure of shooting family portraits of Jacki Dion and her family.

I’ve got to our appointed location and found them all there. Upon arrival I knew they were the family that I’ve had to photograph. We’ve never met before, we’ve only communicated by email so they were curiously looking in my direction wondering if I’m the photographer. The great give away was when I took my camera bag out of the car, then the expression of relief on their countenance was obvious. No more frowned eyebrows. They’ve been wondering for a while already, Is it him or not?

I’ve walked up to them and introduced myself to everyone in the party individually and we started with the shoot. These guys were the best, they were so easy going and up to anything. I’ve really had a blast with them and the two little ones are so adorable.

Here you have one complete family portrait.

 Here you have Jacki, her husband, Rich (Tell it like it is, he’s indeed rich to have such a great family). Their daughter Brianna and Sons, Lil Mike and Jason.

 This is Jacki’s parents, Linda & Ken.

 These are my future clients whenever Big Mike decides to pop the question. (Mike, what are you waiting on) I just know that they have to get married in Aruba and I’m hoping to be the photographer.

 Another family portrait………

 Brianna and her two little brothers, Lil Mike and Jason.

I just love this image. They were not asked to pose like this. I was taking another shot and turned around and found them like two lovebirds in this position. All I did was asked them to stay there and I shot it. That’s was so natural. Don’t they make a beautiful couple?

 Three generations: Grammy Linda, Momma Jacki and Brianna

Another traditional family shot. 

This shot caused tears to flow as this was a recreation of another shot…..It was awesome to experience.

It’s Sunday so here you have an image of a very famous church here on the island. The St. Ann’s Catholic Church. This church has a wooden alter that was brought from Europe, very beautiful architecture.
