Now Jade, Now Married: Katie and Brendon’s Destination Wedding

Katie and Brendon both shared the dream of a stress-free wedding in an exotic location surrounded by the very closest of their friends and family, and that is exactly what they got.

 

They decided on the stunningly beautiful resort, The Now Jade Resort and all of their closest friends and family hopped a plane to Mexico for a very special wedding celebration on 12/12/12.  The setting was absolutely perfect, an intimate ceremony took place on the beach with bridesmaids all in different styles and shades of creamy beige carrying parasols as they stood beside their friend and her one true love.

 

Vows were taken and after Brendon planted that first kiss on his new bride we were able to sneak a few dramatic shots of the bridal party as the sky threatened with an afternoon storm. Taking full advantage of the beautiful grounds at the resort we executed a very romantic shoot of Katie and Brendon in all their newlywedded bliss. The afternoon continued as we arrived back in time for cocktail hour where guests were served signature drinks and appetizers. The celebration only gained momentum inside at the tastefully decorated reception, where guests enjoyed a decadent four course dinner and plenty of dancing. Brendon, a DJ himself self created the entire playlist beforehand, making it that much more special and a true reflection of the couples passion. I must admit it was an honor to be there on such a special day in such a special place. Love and blessings to you both!
