Clancy & A.J. got married in tropical paradise. I LOVE this image of them recessing down the aisle as a married couple. So happy!
A.J. and Clancy met through their love of yachting, so naturally their special day was held near the water… a GORGEOUS beach front at the Hope Town Harbour Lodge, to be exact. Hope Town is a very special place to them. Clancy has been visiting the Abacos since she was a little, spending summers on their family sailboat. She introduced A.J. to Hope Town, and they now mutually share a strong love for the island, people and water, traveling often for getaways from hectic day-to-day life.
I love it when a couple’s wedding location bears so much meaning to them. Enjoy the beauty, emotion and boundless fun times from this happy day. Loads of best wishes to Clancy + A.J. — you two are awesome and thank you for inviting me to photograph your wedding. I was not only in tropical paradise, but a visual one, too! : )

Clancy, you are gorgeous!
I adore this one of A.J. and his mom.
The ring bearers were SO CUTE. And yes, that photo on the lower left is proof that the little dude took the ring off the ribbon. Haha!
LOVE this series of A.J. spotting his bride for the first time…
Clancy’s gorgeous veil was all over the place on the windy beach, which made for some awesome photos!
Loved my time with these two alone — not only are they loads of fun but they’re just so stunning together!
The photo booth was a hit!
