Dave and I absolutely love this couple! They are so kind and accommodating, we really just loved being with them for their big day in gorgeous Ocho Rios Jamaica. Meet Lasha and Darren, an adorable couple from the GTA that decided to have a dream wedding on the beach surrounded by the natural beauty of the Caribbean.

This is the third wedding we’ve had the privilege to photograph at the RIU Ocho Rios so we really know our way around the place by now :) It was really nice coming back and being a part of such a happy time for Lasha and Darren. The day was full of  emotion and happiness. You can see how elated Lasha was on such a special day. Everyone was so excited about the wedding ahead.

Ocho Rios is such a little piece of paradise. I love the soft aquas and blues, the Caribbean Sea has to be the most amazing backdrop for a wedding ceremony. The air was filled with the sound of lapping waves, everything was so breezy and so romantic.

As the sun started to go down, the evening beach reception began. We loved all of the beautiful little details and the event designer did an amazing job giving the outdoor beach wedding a romantic and private feel.
