Freedom: An Eleuthera Wedding for Vanessa and Dustin

Here are some pictures from a wedding I did last month (2008.11.12 to be precise).

…and the local Justice of the Peace (who can also give you a great deal on insurance). He was awesome.

Vanessa (originally born in Grand Bahama) and Dustin (from Canada) eloped to Eleuthera to get married on the beach — just the two of them.

I think the best way to describe them is in Vanessa’s own words: ”We travel a lot (backpacking, not resorts!) and we’re easy going, mostly casual people. Dustin rides a motorcycle and is an auto tech. I’m in marketing and do some graphic design. We love the outdoors. And we are romantic. We just don’t want crappy run-of-the-mill photos. We’d like to pay modestly for some talent and get some personality in there.  :)

 Vanessa was clearly not lacking in personality — the couple were a joy to work with!

After a few months braving the cold in Canada, the two are now in Austrailia (of all all places) living their dream–”and what a beautiful dream it is…”

    Bahamas Wedding Photography: South Carolina Couple Get Hitched on Grand Bahama Island at Pelican Bay Lucaya

    On the 21st of November 2008, Diana Helms and Jaime Tompkins were married at the Pelican Bay Hotel at Port Lucaya on Grand Bahama Island.  I was lucky enough to be chosen personally by them as the photographer for this South Carolina couple.

    I found this picture absolutely touching…

    Jaime said there were several things he liked about his wife (at least three that I remembered): one — she was beautiful; two — she knew how to drive a boat; and three — she liked to fish! Looks like Jaime caught himself a keeper!

      Tony — despite the fact he has the manor of James Bond — is a messy eater.
