WEDDING
If you have never been to a Trini wedding you are truly missing out an amazing experience.
I have visited Trinidad at least once a year every year the past nine years. I love the people, the culture, and the land. That is why I truly "waved and hollered" throughout Miranda and Ryan's wedding reception.
Below are two photos of the bride and groom. The first one is that beautiful "I Do" moment during their Day 1 Ceremony. The second one is that "Woo-Hoo Jump and Wave" moment during the couple's First Dance.
Enjoy,
J

There are so many gorgeous photos from Miranda and Ryan's Wedding. Considering it was a two-day event, you could only imagine all the images I have to show you.
I will use Wedding Wednesdays to share with you those and other wedding images.

Wedding Details
WEDDING
Today I want to highlight hands as details in a wedding.
Miranda and Ryan's wedding had two individual days which my team photographed. The ceremonies of Day 1 were so beautiful I could not help but to focus on a few of those hands.
Bride's Hand
I love the intricacy of the henna on Miranda's hand.
Bride & Groom
The union of Miranda & Ryan was a beautiful thing to watch and photograph.
Prayer
I am so happy I got this shot because I love the focus on the henna and jewelry especially in the midst of prayer.

Portrait: Trini Bride
WEDDING
Wow, I had a blast photographing Miranda & Ryan's wedding this past weekend. They are a cute Trinidadian couple from New Jersey. I actually met them at the end of last year through a referral by my brother.
My frequent trips to Trinidad (an understatement) and having a best friend who is Trinidadian helped me truly understand and love the culture. This definitely helped in my conversations with Miranda and Ryan.
After hanging out and talking we decided on May to take engagement photos which look amazing. I need to share some on the blog since they are already completed.
So when it came time to shoot their two-day wedding, I brought along my friend and photographer Wilnelia Velez to work with me. All I can say is there are way too many gorgeous photos. If you have ever been to a Trini wedding you know they know how to party.
Enjoy the beauty of the lovely Miranda captured by Wilnelia.

Let The Wedding Be A Wedding
Yesterday I talked with one of the brides I photographed recently. One of the things she said encouraged me and made me feel like I am going in the right direction with my photography. She told me she appreciated how I let her and her new husband enjoy their wedding without constantly asking them to pose for photos throughout the reception. How I was always around snapping photos but in an organic way (without forced posing).
That was important for me to hear. I believe weddings are meant to be enjoyed. I want my brides and grooms to relish this amazing new day and let me capture the amazingness. I never want them to feel like they are a freak show in a circus being pulled in every direction to pose for photos every 30 seconds.
This photo journalistic style gives me the opportunity to capture their essence. The photos will show them really enjoying the wedding because they are so in the rhythm of the moment they are not "cheesing" for the camera. While a cousin or uncle is asking people to pose for his/her expensive camera (which they don't really know how to use), I am roaming around like a duck hunter looking for precious untainted moments. This is how I roll.
Although I was not looking for photography, God placed this in my path and I am very grateful. Next weekend will be my official sixth wedding ever done as a photographer (did about half a dozen as a Videographer). I'm excited as I see I am continuing to build/grow.
*Note - I do shoot Formal poses with Family & Bridal Party after the Ceremony. I also do posed shots with anyone during the Reception as per request or if I see an amazing shot
