Sarah and George were a blast. I encouraged George to be just a little naughty (which wasn’t too hard for him to do) to start the sparks flowing and that really reflects in their images.

George just can’t keep his hands off Sarah and I don’t give him wrong, she’s a beautiful lady in and out and she’s his wife.

Gotta get one image under the coconut tree. No coconut tree, no Caribbean, right.

Sarah feeling all relaxed and secured in her man’s arms.

Mc Steamy or Mc Dreamy?

George is setting the mood.

Romantic portraits in the most romantic place on earth.

This says love, trust and all the above.

Some golden light, right before sunset. I just love this place and the models were willing to play.

Treasure is found all around the island even in abandoned buildings. And when there is true love it can be expressed anywhere.

This right here is a tribute to Arizona!

Steven met Fayth (both Americans) in Bonn, Germany in 2002. Steven was then attending Texas A&M University and Fayth Lehigh University at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. A strong friendship was born. They remained in contact for the next several years visiting each other in Texas and Pennsylvania. It wasn’t until a visit down to Texas in 2005 Fayth and Steven started dating, a few years later Steven decided that he wanted to kick up the relationship a notch so he decided no more long distance dating and moved to Pennsylvania to be of support to Fayth while she attended Dental school.

Steven proposed in August 2008 while touring vineyards in the Brandywine Area of Pennsylvania.

These guys are awesome, our first in person meeting left me knowing that this one was going to rock. I’ve approached the wedding with such a confidence that I was going to blow it out of the park, not by my efforts really, but by the flexibility and open personality of the Bride and Groom.

After a couple of shots I gave them a peak at what I was getting and Steven goes, “Man, you’re good!”. Steven, believe me it’s not totally me but the vibe that you two transcend just makes it happen. Thanks for having me and may God bless your marriage.

When things get tough (notice I said “when” ,because they will. It’s inevitable) go back to your sign in book and read what I wrote there for you.

This wedding was at the Bucuti Beach Resort with the illustrious Nashette Wouters as the wedding planner. Words fail to express the awesomeness of this lady. She really makes you feel at ease even though you’re planning a wedding from thousands of miles away. It’s always a pleasure for me to work with her.

The urban dictionary has a different definition to this word but I have a total different definition and it will be added to the dictionary in the next print. The word I’m referring to is “Sexceptional”, exceptionally sexy! 

This is what you get if you don’t be shy and really enjoy each other on your wedding day. There’s very little left for me to be introduced to and if you’re so daring I’ll go for it, no problem, I’ll just chalk it up as a new experience. 

Schweet, golden hour sun! Using flash here would just ruin this shot. Did I really need any flash? I don’t think so. Available light is the way to go.

Upon shooting Fayth for a while in the room, I was stunned by her teeth but never said anything. Afew days after the wedding we met and she said that she was a dentist, then all fell in place. She really has beautiful teeth. 

 A shot of the setup of the ceremony area, Nashette and her crew did a great job!

 Here comes the bride……

 The bride focused on her prize……

This guy have seen his then bride to be before the ceremony but he’s still amazed at how she looks, look at his expression.

The Vows! 

 The Ceremony.

The Kiss!

Look at this guy, euphoric. It’s like he’s saying “Yes, I’ve scored a touchdown”

I call this “Ecstatic” 

Just schweet!

Steven told Fayth that he’ll take her to the end of the world. 

Romance in the tropics!

You feed me and I’ll feed you.

This is exactly what I’ve experienced on Friday at Bucuti Beach Resort where I’ve had the honor to document the wedding of Daniela & Anthony Vazquez. The celebration went off without a hitch, thanks to the wedding planner at the Bucuti, Nashette Wouters.

Daniela & Anthony a.k.a. T.J. lived very close to each other, T.J. actually lived right up the road from Daniela. They were mutually attracted to each other bu the timing was just not right, they’ve had all the patience in the world, they’ve decided if it’s meant to be it will be. Over the course of time they’ve got to know each other pretty well to the point that they’ve decided to kick up the friendship to a greater level and knew from the beginning of the relationship as lovers they’ve had something special going on. It felt so right and so natural confirmed Daniela.

They’ve started dating in 2007 and came on their first trip together as a couple  to Aruba in April 2008, they’ve gotten engaged in August 2008 and knew that they wanted a destination wedding at a safe, romantic getaway that gives the feeling of being home all tangled in one. Upon discussing plans Aruba came simultaneously to their minds for their destination wedding, since it’s very safe, a romantic getaway  and the warmth of the people make you feel at home.

Daniela and T.J. I would like to thank you for choosing me to be part of such an important milestone in your life, it’s really appreciated. I’ll also add that things will not always be honkey dorey but giving up is easiest thing you can do, be a fighter when these trying times present and don’t give up.

The things that so make us feel like twisting our heads like the little girl in the “Exorcist” today will be laughed at a few years down the road.

T.J. and Daniela making it down the sand aisle to get married.

 Daniela and T.J. listening attentively to the officiant during the ceremony.

T.J. was put on the spot to say his vows to Daniela, here you have him spilling his heart. 

Sexceptional, exceptionally sexy! This is the first kiss, I just love this shot. I’ve played up the flare with the shadows. 

They ooze love, they cuddle any chance they get. This was when the minister was announcing them to the crowd. I loved the weather conditions, it was awesome for flare.

These are the guests rejoicing along with Daniela & T.J.

Here they are walking back down the sand aisle! 

The first toast! 

 At our meeting prior to the wedding T.J. requested some timeless portraits, here you go sir!

What’s a wedding in the Caribbean without a coconut tree on the beach? It just exudes Caribbean. 

 Did I say they cuddle every chance they get?

Daniela’s dad moved everyone aside to get this shot of him and his new son in law. 

This is the new Mr&Mrs Vazquez frolicking on the Eagle Beach in Aruba as a boat pass by.

He had to regain composure, muster up the courage to go over to her and introduce himself. Much to his surprise the introduction was accepted.

From there on, the entire evening was spent in conversation, inconsiderate of the fact that they both were at the bar with a group of friends……….

They obviously saw something in each other………

They’ve spent that entire summer together but at the end of the summer Crissy had to go back to college. She was a bit pessimistic about the summer romance however Matt kept the romance alive. They’ve since spent much more time together than they could have ever imagined.

After college they’ve moved in together and Matt proposed a year later.

Upon asking Crissy “Why Aruba?” her response was “Just wanting a small wedding, we decided to do a destination wedding and invite whomever wanted to come with us. After debating many different locations a close friend of mine suggested Aruba, where she honeymooned. She said it was one of the most beautful islands she had ever seen, and boy was she right. We picked Aruba because of her suggestion and because it was under the hurricane belt since we were getting married in October.

We chose the Riu, again from suggestions of friends, and booked the wedding. I can’t stress to you how easy the Riu made the preparations of my wedding! Carolina, our wedding coordinator took care of everything and was so wonderful to work with. The only thing I had to do was find a photographer….and luckily I found the best one out there…just by looking on the internet.

Matt’s parents, his sister and her boyfriend, and my parents all decided to join us in Aruba. Having them there made the trip even more amazing. It meant so much to have them there with us sharing the best day of our lives.

We got to Aruba on a Wednesday and were married on the following Monday, October 13th. (13 is my lucky number). I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful wedding or to have worked with anyone else on the island! Our wedding was a dream come true.

In November we are having a reception with all of our friends. I can’t wait to show them all the pictures of our fantastic trip.

Now I get to spend the rest of my life with my best friend. The man that still makes my skin tingle when he walks into the room. We get to start a family, play tennis together, laugh, and share memories for the rest of our lives. I feel like the most lucky girl out there to have found him.

In Matt’s words, “I agree that the wedding couldn’t have gone any better, Crissy was the most beautiful bride I have ever seen. The setting and location couldn’t have been any better, and now I get to spend the rest of my life with my best friend, too.”

Crissy and Matt, I wish you long life, health and happiness together. Thanks for allowing me to be part of such an important milestone in your lives.

I always learn a thing or two at every wedding. I must give it to him. This dude’s romantic.

The toast…….!!!!

A silhouette shot. This was actually a mechanical failure but I love how it came out. I think it’s a keeper. Can anyone detect the mechanical?

Nothings better than a piggy back at sunset with your one true love.

This is completely candid. They are just enjoying the rings.

Mr Suave, gauging himself for the kill. You know that a kiss will follow this, right?

He seriously can be a stunt double for…….Who do you think? Let me know.

This is simply schweet…….I’ll turn this into a 30″x40″ canvas in a hurry.

Dancing to the tunes of “This Is Your song” in their heads.

Yeah, yeah, I know. I’m bad but I just had to get some tongue action in there.

Detail shot of the cake and the rings.

Yummy, sexy shot!

This younger generation just stay married for as long as it all runs smooth like a well oiled train, neglecting the fact that the oil that cause the train to run smooth depletes and if not serviced regularly causes friction to the point of a breakdown. Disregarding the fact if parts (bad habits) are replaced and and oil is replenished the old locomotive will continue to run like new, they just decide to disregard the promise they made at the altar and end the marriage.

I always tell my couples (read clients) that giving up on your marriage is the easisest thing to do, it however means that you did not combat with the situation long enough to overcome it and come out victorious but you just allowed the situation to twist your arm behind your back and you gave up.

Today i want to give honor where honor is due…….

On August 4th Chris and Rich celebrated their 35 th Wedding Anniversary and I was requested to pass by their hotel to take a few pictures of their family. It was a great time had with such a awesome family. I’ve had the chance to meet 4 generations of the family which was pretty cool to me.

Chris and Rich, God bless you and many more years to come.

Here is Chris and Rich posing for their portraits.

This is their daughter, Melissa with her family. (Colin and precious Emma)

Now this is Chris’s mom and dad, what a sense of humour the dad has. We don’t even want to know how long they’re married as it would make the younger quitting generation feel really bad that they didn’t stick it out.

Here you have Brian and Alyson, friends that celebrated their 2nd Wedding Anniversary on August 5th. Brian and Alyson stay close to these great people, they can offer some advise or two in getting to the 35 year mark.

Here you have Melissa and her family again with her brother Adam.

Valentine’s day is not about having a man or a woman (In the sexual sense) in your life. So if you don’t have that special person (That society deems special), don’t sweat it. You definitely have special people in your life. Your mom or dad, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, cousin, son or daughter so celebrate this day with them.

This day is about love it’s not only about being romantic, so you can definitely love without being romantic and still have a great time. No need to separate yourself from the crowd today, join in like everyone else because I’m sure that you’re loved by at least one person.

Enjoy the day,

Bryan Morris

any clouds you’ll ever have,

and let you know

that no matter what -

our being together is the most important thing

I’ll ever have in this life.

When it comes to sharing love,

today and every tomorrow,

you’re the one

that will always shine through.

And when it comes to

the person I always want to be with…..

you know that there’s

nobody but YOU!

This poem is dedicated to my wife, I wanted just this part to go public as whatever will follow might not be appropriate for all audiences.

I love you and I’m very proud of you, may God continue to bless you.

Your hubby,

I don’t want to sound cocky, but since my wife started really started baking about 18 months to 2 years ago. I don’t eat cake/cookies from everybody. She has a real touch for baking. She was so caught up and having fun yesterday. She left to work came back and continued. I don’t even know what time she came into bed. Last I know it was 2 AM and she was still busy.

Move over, here comes Shayenne.

See a little of her Valentine’s day creations.

These were created for the kid’s teachers and some very special friends.

These were done for her colleagues

If you’re ever in need of anything like this for a special person, send me an email. I’ll hook you up.

Blessings,

Bryan Morris
