Jake and I are so thrilled to finally share Ryan and April's destination wedding in Punta Cana with you. This wedding was so sweet, so genuine, and perfectly suited to these awesome people. We were absolutely honored to be a part of their celebration, and are so glad to be able to call them friends.

Early in the day we were threatened with rain clouds, but fortunately the rain never showed. Ryan and April had the sweetest first-look, and the moment captured between April and her Dad when he saw his little girl as a bride was just beautiful.

Their ocean front ceremony was sweet and heart-felt. The vows they wrote for each other were so lovely that I am not sure if there was a dry eye present.

We had so much fun doing portraits of the two of them that if there wasn't a delicious meal waiting for us, we would probably have photographed them all evening. We ended their portraits with April dashing into the ocean closely followed by Ryan.

Such a beautiful ending to a perfect day.
