Cabo San Lucas Wedding... Dani + Jason



























What a small world we live in....about four and a half years ago I moved to Florida to expand my destination wedding business from St. Louis to as far south as I could get with dreams of shooting more weddings in the Caribbean and pretty much any island I could get to!
One day I stepped outside my door here on the beach to take a photo of the sunset. As I framed up my shot a couple came past asking me, "Where the location on the beach is that people typically got married?" As I started talking to them, we discovered that we both were from the mid-west and had quite a bit in common. I felt an instant connection to them as for they were so laid back and just darling. I remember thinking, they are going to make the cutest couple!

About a year or so later I celebrated my 30th Birthday with a few of my closest friends here in Florida. My best friend Mike told me that he has a friend "Sly" coming into town and could he come along to dinner? It just so happened that Mike's friend was Jason, the guy from the beach with his fiance. It just so happens that Sly a.k.a Jason use to live in Chicago with my two best friends that now live here. About another year later I got a call from Dani and we discussed me going to Mexico to photograph their wedding!
It has always been a dream of mine to go to Cabo! I pictured it like a dream. I must say that I already loved Dani & Jason, I could sense their genuineness from the minute I met them on the beach two and a half years ago. I knew that if we shared the same mutual friends this was going to be one killer wedding!
Needless to say, it was! And then some! It pretty much the kind of wedding that everyone should have....a week in the sun, by the pool, laughing and enjoying your closest family, friends, not a care in the world! The Dreams Resort and Spa really was one of the nicest. It felt like a boutique style hotel with all of the amenities you could ask for! It was the perfect location to get married. It was one of the best experiences of my career thus far and will forever hold a great place in my heart.
