Jamaica Beach Wedding

When Jen first reached out to me about photographing her destination beach wedding in Jamaica, I was beyond excited.

January in the midwest is cold and snowy so being able to head to a warm tropical Island put a smile on all our hearts. Negril, Jamaica has endless possibilities of beautiful locations. 7 mile beach is famous for wide open spaces with hidden gems along the way. These two were born for the beach, with their love for the ocean, sand and hearts for adventure! It was the perfect way to start the new year!

We had 3 days together. The first day, we did a fun beach session, we found a secluded spot for an intimate and relaxed session. The wedding day was filled with tons of laughter with friends and family with the whole day spent of the beach. The third day we went for a total adventure that involved jumping off a cliff into the deep blue ocean! We ended up at the famous Rick’s Cafe where people jump off cliffs into the ocean all day long. So of course that was the plan for these two!

Everything about this intimate wedding was intentional and fun. These two words completely encapsulated this couple, and our time together. Jamaica is a beautiful Island with so many options for adventuring, from its beautiful beaches and sapphire water to its lush jungles. As I look back through these photos, I can’t help but feel so grateful for a destination wedding story like this one.

They got to share this experience with their closest family and it was a blast! We shot pictures on the beach the day before and the wedding day was a full of getting ready, ceremony, beach photos of Becca and Lee and a beautiful beach reception. One of the stand out moments was right after the ceremony, music was playing and spontaneous dancing in the ceremony space happened. Dan and I were like “This is the greatest moment ever!” Everything about this wedding was fun, laid back, and spontaneous.

This day was so beautiful, from their son handing them the rings to running around on the beach right after the “I do’s” Becca got to have her dream and it was perfect!
