The morning of Patricia and Johnnie’s wedding I decided to go for a walk and had the pleasure of meeting a gentlemen who reminded me what life is all about.  Every morning like clock work he hits the beach with his net and bucket.   At first  I thought he was catching the fish for himself to eat, I felt he need a whole lot of them because they were pretty small.  But then after a while he took a break from throwing his net along the shore and went over to his bucket.   He picked up one of the fish, waved it over his head and gulls started to appear overhead.   He toss the fish in the air and sure enough one of the gulls snatched it out of mid air.  As people watched he allowed them to give it a try.

And that’s his thing…..    pretty cool way to spend your day.

If you know anything about the island of Aruba, you know how intense the sun is there.  That intensity best describes the passion that exist between Patrica and Johnnie.  Actually I have to extend that to their family and friends also.  This time I was bless with Simone joining me on the trip.  She’s by far the hottest assistant I’ve ever worked with.  They made us feel like family.  And just before leaving for home I found out that some of the guest actually thought Simone and I were family.  The night before the ceremony we met up with everyone at a spot called “Texas de Brazil”  Holy #%#$ I never seen so much food coming out of the woodwork.  It was my first time eating at a Brazilian style restaurant.  I prayed I could function the next day.

The Westin Aruba hosted their wedding day.   Really nice hotel, great staff, and endless places to shoot inside.  I had a blast and wish I could have explored the whole place with Johnnie and Patricia.

All in all I want to thank Patricia and Johnnie for giving me the honor of documenting their wedding day.  They were awesome, and I think we got some great images.

Below are a few. Enjoy
