The tiny island of Bimini took me completely by surprize! The people are so nice, the water is indescribably beautiful and the speed at which the clouds tumble by is otherworldly. All of this, provided the perfect backdrop for an epic wedding story to unfold. I mean, anywhere that requires a seaplane to fly there, is bound to be a good time! I'm so grateful to Anika and David for allowing me to document this adventure. They are two of the nicest and most relaxed people I've ever had the pleasure of photographing. Their wedding was set to be everything they had meticulously planned and prepared for. Epic location, beautiful details, and a one awesome celebration with family and friends in a not-so-far-away paradise!

But then, rain.

Anika and David wanted an intimate and memorable beach wedding in a place that held meaning for them both. They understood that rain was a possibility (or perhaps an inevitability in this part of the world at this time of year). BUT they held on to their vision and hopes for the perfect ceremony, and they got just that!

I've never seen rain ruin a wedding day. In fact, the added drama, dynamic light and mood altering qualities of inclement weather always seem to add, not detract beauty and intensity to a wedding story. Further more, it's just plain fun to photograph and more memorable to look back on.

Perhaps when they view these photos, they'll not only remember the sight of the wind ripping through the beach and sending the bridesmaids hair and dresses in the a fluttering frenzy. Perhaps they'll also feel the sting of the sand against their skin once again, and remember what it felt like to be standing there, entirely present in the chaotic moments of the encroaching storm. 

If you're lucky, perhaps it'll rain on your wedding day too.
