{Real Wedding} Robin + Sly = destination Paradise

Today we are so thrilled to share with you some sneak peeks from the lovely destination wedding we planned in April. The couple’s location of Negril, Jamaica wedding was absolutely beautiful and proved to be the perfect atmosphere for this union. The wedding was hosted at the boutique resort Moon Dance Cliffs in Negril. 

 We've helped Robin & Sly from the very beginning of their wedding planning process and they have been an absolute joy to work with. SED had the pleasure of designing their wedding boarding pass invitations as well as planning their at home reception in the coming weeks.  

I’m sure our sneak peeks will show you just how much of a beautiful, breathtaking and intimate affair this was!

Congratulations Robin & Sly!

{Real Wedding} Misty + Solomon : Trash the Dress Session, Dominican Republic

As promised I'm back with the smoking hot pictures from Misty's "Trash the Dress" session the day after her wedding with the super fabulous photographer Nicole Koester.  I was there for this photoshoot and I will say that I was cringing the whole time. The thought of getting this absolutely beautiful wedding dress dirty just hurt my heart.  Misty assured me that all would be well and after the shoot it was rinsed and I do believe that it will be just as beautiful as it was the day she walked down the aisle.  Here are a few pictures from her "Trash the Dress" session.  They are absolutely breathtaking! 

This is when I started cringing!

The most FANTASTIC picture EVER. Everyone thinks this is photoshop.  Trust me! I witnessed this shot and it is OH SO REAL!

Be sure to go on over to NKoester Photography for more pictures and to see the rest of her work. She is phenomenal!
