This wedding is dear to my heart. Kim and Mike tied the knot last June in St. Thomas. The couple had taken a trip to the Virgin Islands and joked about getting married here. On June 9, 2012 it was no joke. It was a fun filled weekend with close family and friends. I even got to have my brother Stu come with me to shoot the wedding. He has  adventure in his heart and creativity in his bones. I was so grateful he took off work to come with me. I am not sure what the best part of this trip was. The “rehearsal dinner” where the family and friends took a pirate ship cruise at sunset or the beach wedding followed by an intimate dinner and drinks.

It was common to find the gentlemen holding the ladies purses this weekend.

Mike had to have his island themed underwear that day.

Next four shots by Stu Brand.

Kim’s dad surprised all the boys with cuban cigars at the end of the night.

Stu and I got to spend an extra day in St. Thomas. Of course we spent it by the beach. I tried to stay out of the sun under an umbrella and  if you look hard enough you can see Stu swimming.

Matt and Meryn are as fun as they come. I had a blast getting to know this couple and getting to photograph their wedding was just the icing on the cake. Oh wait there was no cake. They had a cookie cake instead. Matt and Meryn are a couple after my own heart. I can never say no to a chocolate chip cookie. And we can’t forget the James Bond white dinner jacket Matt wore. Here are some of my favorite moments from this beautiful day last October.

Here is another shot by Grace.

After their first dance it was time for the Beatle’s cover band to step in.
