Destination Wedding Toronto, Canada - Rima & Darren
Destination Wedding Toronto, Canada - Rima & Darren

What can I begin to say about Rima and Darren? It's so hard to play favorites with clients, because its as if they're all my favorite, but the story with these two is unique because we actually met on a mission trip in Brazil. When they found out I was a photographer and saw my work it was arranged and they flew me up to Toronto for one hell of a wedding! I didn't feel I could do the images justice without sharing a ton, so please, grab a coffee and enjoy Rima & Darren's story with some music.

A Wedding in Bogota, Colombia
A Wedding in Bogota, Colombia

So this wedding is really special because I was kind of in it. So while there are probably photographers who can both be in a wedding and photograph it, I am not one of them :) 

So my family and best friend flew to Colombia to spend some time on the front and back end of the big day for the total of a little over a week. The headlining image for this blog was from the last day of our trip when I did a session with Nico & Diana all dressed up in the wedding attire a few days after the wedding. 

Because that session was at the end of our trip I've posted to the rest of the images from it at the end of this blog, but I want to show you chronologically just a few of our excursions from our South American Adventure :)

Downtown NC Court House Wedding

Having gotten to spend just a couple hours with these two makes me sad they're not local to Wilmington. It was sooooo fun shooting their wedding. They clearly adore each other and surprisingly it was my first time having the opportunity to photograph a court house ceremony :)

I have known Elsie since ELEMENTARY SCHOOL!!! Seriously, its almost surreal. One day we're in language arts in 3rd grade and then the next day I'm doing their engagement portraits! They are incredibly fun to photograph and spend time with. I can't wait for their wedding :)

Sydney & Tyler Downtown Wilmington Anniversary Session

It feels like we've been hanging out with Sydney & Tyler for years :)

We had the privilege of being the photographer for their wedding when they eloped in topsail beach in 2014.

And we were super excited when they asked us the very next year to photograph their family!

So we were honored when they asked us to shoot them AGAIN this year to celebrate their 2nd year anniversary with a couples session!! And they are friggin amazing! 

We love you Sydney & Tyler, and we look forward to more years of epic photos with you!

-Michael & Erin
