admin — Wed, 21 Jan 2015 02:56:43 +0000

Meet Lauren and Jason. A sweet, beautiful couple celebrating their love in front of their closest friends and family. We love intimate, cozy weddings. Just so beautiful and romantic!

Vendors:
Cake Maker: The Cake Studio {I sent them 3 different pictures, described what I wanted (which was a blend of the 3 different designs (not easy)), and they created an amazing cake. It was exactly what I wanted, only prettier. Also, I requested a cake flavor that they did not even have listed and they made that too.}
Caterer: Miss En Place
Venue: Sun Salutations Villa, Rum Point
How did you two meet?
Match.com
How did he pop the question?
We traveled to Italy; two weeks backpacking the entire country. My family came from the region of Calabria Italy so once we got there it was an important part of the trip for me. He had the ring for 10 days backpacking through Italy before we got to Tropea, a small town in Calabria. As soon as we arrived, Jason had the idea to catch the sunset on the beach. We ran through the tiny streets and down a cliffside to make it to the beach in time to not miss sunset. As soon as we got to the sand thats when it happened. Jason got down and proposed to me at sunset on the beach of gorgeous Tropea, Italy. Best day of my life until 12/15/14 when we got married.
How long have you been together?
Just over two years.
What was your favorite moment(s) from the wedding?
Holding Jason’s hands, looking into his eyes, while saying our vows
How would you describe your overall wedding experience?
Amazing. Completely stress free. Beautiful.
What advice would you offer to other couples planning a destination wedding?
Do it.

Tell me about your dress. Where did you find it, how did you choose it, how did you know it was the one?
I wanted a simple wedding dress, for our simple beach wedding. I loved the look of the extravagant gowns but that was not for me.. not when I was walking down the sand, rather than down an aisle in a church. I did not want my mom to spend a fortune on a dress being worn for a few hours, so we went to David’s Bridal. I found a perfect beach dress but it was missing something. Thats when my mom had the idea to add her own touch to the dress. She did an amazing job, it was incredible. Not to mention, the dress became one of a kind. It was light, breezy, elegant and even had a sexy little slit on one side. I was in love!
How was your experience taking photos/working with me on your wedding day?
Daria, you were perfect! You made us laugh when we needed big smiles, instructed us just enough but certainly not too much and even more importantly, made us feel comfortable. You made me feel beautiful, which does not happen every day. I can’t wait to find a good excuse to travel back to the Cayman Islands and have you as our photographer again!
Did you see each other before the wedding?
No, we did not do the first look. I would not have changed that for the world. It was so exciting knowing Jason was going to see me for the first time in my wedding dress just as I was walking down the aisle to him. Seeing his face, seeing the way he looked at me, that was an amazing moment. We had both pictured that moment for so long and it turned out better than we imagined.
What were you most anxious, nervous or fearful about regarding your wedding day and what was the outcome?
The weather and everyone showing up on time. Weather miraculously was perfect. Could not have been better. The wind even calmed down for 15 minutes right during the ceremony. In regards to everyone getting there on time; caterer, reverend, flowers, etc., it worked perfectly. Nothing was rushed. Everyone was there when they said they would be, most were early. it turned out perfect.
What’s one piece of advice you would give to other couples for planning their wedding?
Plan it for the two of you. Not for viewers or guests, or friends. Do not try to live up to what others have done before you. Make it personal, with things that the two of you will appreciate and remember forever.

Wedding Film – Dima and Merin – "Can I kiss her now?"

admin — Mon, 15 Sep 2014 09:00:54 +0000

So this post is to show the wedding film of Merin and Dima, filmed by Jason Menor and Gary Hollins of Picture This Studios…. amazing work guys!!!! But I have to add my favourite favourite favourite part of this video is when Dima is asked if he ‘takes Merin to be his wife’ and he says… “Absolutely I Do!” and then asks the marriage officiant ……. “Can I kiss her now?”
Merin and Dimitrijus chose to have their wedding at a private villa in Grand Cayman, Sun Salutations. Merin and her family have a holiday home in Rum Point, called Just for Fun! They wanted to have a special morning ceremony in the gazebo outside next to the water for just the immediate family and then in the late afternoon their traditional wedding ceremony. The morning ceremony was a mix of Indian traditions and it was amazing. Each set of parents escorted the bride and groom out individually where they said their vows and made beautiful promises to each other. Merin’s dad, Robert spoke to Dimitrijus and told him that he was giving him his most precious gift, his daughter. There was not a dry eye in the house :), After that Ceremony the couple went over to Rum Point where they ‘trashed the dress’ and jumped in the ocean. Merin and Dimitrijus are both dancers, so their first dance was incredible. This post is to show their wedding film…. which Jason Menor once again did an amazing job!
