When Nabila and David first asked me to shoot their destination wedding in Rivera Mya, Mexico, I was excited.   But the a certain flu issue changed fate, and the wedding was moved to Jamaica. With  Iberostar Resorts in both Mexico and Jamaica, the change of venue wasn’t as bad as it may seem.  This gave the wedding additional meaning to me because half of my family is from Jamaica, and it’s been 18 years since my last visit.  It took me a while to realize that the one unpaved road that use to leave the airport in MoBay is now a dual direction 3 lane highway.  The last time I traveled that route, the one car rule applied.  (Room for one car in any direction)

With and “Awesome” couple, great family,(my family now),  two mornings with “Saltfish and Ackee” for breakfast, and a fantastic event coordinator (Nicole), this wedding was truly a blessing.  It’s ignited my urge to return to Jamaica soon, and on my own terms.

Thank You Nabila and David for sharing part of you life, and you family with me.  And a special “THANKS” to David’s mom for the BBQ.  An ocean view, cool breeze, nice music, a serious plate of food, and a Red Stripe Beer.  Life doesn’t get much better!   OMG, What am I doing here?
