The tiny details are so very important to wedding photography. The rings, the dress, flowers, makeup closeups....and more!! The photo captured above of the wedding rings is an important symbol for every bride and groom of the vows that they are about to take. This reflection of a brides first look at her freshly applied make is a must as well. A look of happiness, anticipation, excitement. These are the simple joys of capturing the story of every couple. No two are the same. Each one special and unique in its own way.

They had their wedding ceremony and reception at The Magdalena Grand Beach Resort in Tobago and their portraits were taken on the grounds of the hotel.....which is also a golf course. I have to say that these photos turned out really stunning with the mix of red and green on the colour palette resulting in unique photographs. What do you think?
