Nicole and Jason’s wedding was perfect. It was beautiful, it was intimate, it was full of love and laughter, and it was on the beach in ARUBA. They were joined by around 20 of their closest friends and family and it’s not hard to figure out why people chose to make the trip to a far away island to attend a wedding. While I’m sure the clear blue water was a convincing factor, Nicole+Jason are two of the sweetest people that I know. They went out of their way to make sure that everything was perfect for Bernadette and I, even during their wedding weekend. I feel lucky to consider them friends.

There’s no way to include all of their lovely images below, so make sure you click HERE to watch their day unfold in the slideshow!

One of my favorite moments of the day was when she first put on her dress. It’s the moment that it hits you that this is all real…

Gorgeous. Completely and utterly gorgeous…

She was born to be a hunting dog. But she was gun shy and a wee bit disinterested in the whole hunting business. She much prefers following scents at a leisurely pace. Turns out that she makes a better ‘family’ dog than a ‘hunting’ dog. Makaila is an almost 9 year old beagle with an independent spirit, deep brown eyes, and irresistibly floppy ears…

This is how Makaila feels about Mondays…

  • claire - i love the color palette in the first few!

  • beth - love the lighting and colors. such a sweet and gentle looking dog!

  • tish - amazing as usual! Love the tongue shot. ๐Ÿ™‚ I feel the same way about Mondays.

  • ashley folkema - Look at that face! Love love love!

  • Emily - What a sweet dog; I just love her ears!

  • SqueakDog Pet Photography - Love the white face! What a sweet soul…

  • Sara - Oh my goodness theses are gorgeous and the lighting is to die for! That’s the kind of lighting that always makes my heart melt!

Sunday was HOT! I think it’s pretty clear who brought the heat…

Their adorable pup Kiefer came along as well. He’s the tiniest little Yorkie I’ve ever seen… He’s only 4lbs. Just small enough that I could have hid him in my camera bag, not that I thought of trying, or anything. Just sayin’…
