Destination Weddings

St. Kitts and Nevis Wedding Photography

We hadn’t really heard of Nevis until Yana visited our office to discuss having Xero Digital shoot their wedding there.  We were told that it was beautiful, but words did not prepare us for how beautiful it truly is.  It isn’t your typical carribean destination.  The island is very tiny, with a very small population and the scenery is practically untouched.  When we arrived at The Banyan Tree Bed and Breakfast and I stood on the veranda, I swear I almost cried.  It felt exactly like you were in your own private paradise. After a quick drink (Ting…I had no idea it was made there), we headed off to The Montpelier Plantation Inn.  Yana and Carlos could not have picked a more beautiful spot for their intimate wedding ceremony.

I love this photo!  It totally has a Gilligan’s Island feel to it.  These are definitely shoes that Ginger would have worn!  (Did I just date myself?)

Look at those colours!  This was definitely the perfect spot for the ceremony.  It was scorching hot and the sun was blazing down, but I think totally worth it.

I think that this is my favourite shot of the day.  I love the soft, dreamy lighting.

After the beach shots,  we headed back to Montpelier for some photos just before their wedding dinner.

The dinner area that they had set up was breathtaking.  It was something straight out of ” The Bachelor”.  Matt and I both agreed that it was,  by far,  the most romantic scene we’ve seen at a wedding.

Congratulations Yana & Carlos! Thank you so much for allowing us to document your wedding day.

Here are a few more photos from the Kimm and Jason’s shoot. Hope you enjoy!

The next day we took the dress from Kimm and had a little fun taking pics with it around the grounds of the resort.

I love these images. I thought they completely give the idea that they had been shipwrecked on their own abandoned island.

We had seen this old mill on our travels the day we all went on our road trip and made a mental note that it would be a great location to stop by during their shoot. We are so glad we did.

Kimm and Jason also have a great son, named Zach. What a great family photo!

No destination wedding shoot is complete without a fabulous sunset shot.

The past month and a half has been an absolute whirlwind for us at Xero Digital.  The month of December kicked off with the wedding of Kimm and Jason in beautiful Jamaica at the Grand Palladium Resort and Spa.  They could not have picked a more beautiful location.  I know this sounds really cheesy, but one morning when I walked out of our room (which had a gorgeous ocean view) it literally took my breath away.  We don’t always travel as a couple to destination weddings, nor are we the only ones at the studio that shoot them, but it just so happened that Kimm and Jason are family to my very best friend.  So this was an awesome opportunity for me, to not only assist at such a gorgeous wedding,  but spend sometime in the Carribean with my best friend.

The truth is, by the end of the trip Kimm and Jason weren’t only clients of Xero Digital, but they truly made us feel like family as well.   A few days before the wedding, they took  all of the guests on a road trip to experience the sights and sounds of Jamaica and also included us.  The road trip ended off at Rick’s Cafe which is a famous place for watching sunsets.  Patrons also have the opportunity at cliff diving, which my best friend did immediately upon arrival (see why I love her so much!).

One of the funniest moments for me, on the wedding day,  had to be when we arrived at Jason’s room to photograph the boys getting ready and found all of them standing around the ironing board with an utter look of bewilderment.  I stood back for a moment but quickly saw that left to their own devices, this would not work out well.   So I quickly jumped in and ironed their shirts.

The wedding area there is beautiful.  Although that day was extremely hot, the gazebo is positioned under a canopy of trees and overlooking the ocean to reap the benefit of the sea breeze.  Kimm looked stunning as she walked down the path toward Jason, and the smile on Jason’ s face was infectious.

Thanks so much Kimm and Jason for allowing us to share this part of your story with you and trusting us to document it.  It was a blast!

Now, when do we go back?!?!?
