Jameelah & Chris | Mexico Destination Wedding

I love my job regardless of where I get to shoot, but that love gets amplified for destination weddings! There is just something so awesome about exploring new places. I had the honor to make the trek down to the beautiful Riviera Maya with Jameelah and Chris for their big day. They are an awesome and fun-loving couple.  They also have a 4yr old son Trystan, who is beyond cute.  He gets an album all of his own on my Facebook Photog page: http://on.fb.me/M3nj1f
