Aruba !
I was very fortunate in photographing Desha and Kyle’s wedding in an exotic a location as Aruba. And really, if you’re going to get married, why not Aruba - where the number plates on the motor vehicles read, “One Happy Island”.
As you can guess my family and I had a fabulous time over here - and even better for photographing a couple as wonderful as Desha and Kyle, who spent the extra time and energy in working with me in getting exceptional wedding photographs and portraits of them as a couple.
Here’s a slideshow of the best images taken over the three days there.
A few of the portraits of the couple, directly after their vows on the sunset beach …
More of the ceremony itself :
The wedding event in Aruba started off with the civil ceremony on Monday morning - and then afterwards I did some portraits of the newly married around the center of Oranjestad. In the early evening they exchanged vows on the beach with just a few family members in attendance. And on Tuesday morning (today) we did some more portraits using the Aruba landscape.
Here is a slideshow of the best images ….

It is very easy to see why Aruba is a great choice for destination weddings. And I must admit that I’ve fallen in love with Aruba, for the quaint mix of colonial and island cultures - and the easy-going nature of life here. And also that they speak Dutch here and a lot of the signs are in Dutch. I immediately felt at home here, and would return any time for a vacation.
I would also like to heartily thank my friend David Mielcarek for involving me in this event. Congratulations and best wishes to you, Desha and Kyle - it was a wonderful experience!
