Destination Wedding: Russ and Ella

Where to start? I have known Russ since childhood, so when I heard he was engaged, I was excited to meet the girl he was planning to marry. Lucky me, I not only met Ella, but her and Russ decided to fly me out to Cancun Mexico to photograph their destination wedding. Like what?! Going to stop here and say the God is so good and brings the most amazing oppurtunities into my life. The days and morning leading up to Russ and Ella’s wedding were relaxed and spent by the pools. The day of the wedding, Ella let me know that she wanted clean and classic photos. The bride and groom, the attire, the hotel, the details, and basically everything else, made for some of my most favorite images. Images that are not only clean and classic, but timeless. Ella and Russ are two beautiful people, so effortless, so in love, so playful and happy that it’s contagious. Their ceremony was intimate and emotional, surrounded by their closest family and friends. The reception was full of laughter and speeches all around. The night ended watching the sun set behind the newly married couple, as their friends and family continued to celebrate.
