After two years of spending all of their time off traveling to friends' weddings, Alli and Josh needed a break! When they finally had a chance to take a real vacation together, they made it count -- they took a glorious trip to Belize!
Unfortunately, they weren't the only ones enjoying the beauty of Belize, and though they tried for several days to find a pier where they could be alone to enjoy the view, there were always other people around. So when they came across a pier with no one in sight one day after breakfast, they were thrilled! They relaxed on the end of the pier, feet dangling over the side, and admired the crystal clear water and blue sky ... and Josh decided to take advantage of the opportunity. After a lot of conversation and one excited fish sighting, Josh took a deep breath and looked over at Alli. Surrounded by the beauty of the Caribbean, he held a tiny box in his hand and said, "I wouldn't change anything about this trip ... except to have you as my wife."
Less than three weeks later, I received an email from one of my past brides, Ashley, asking me if I might be available to shoot the wedding of her baby sister, Alli. I jumped at the chance to shoot another wedding for this amazing family! (Literally! I think I frightened Dixie by doing a happy dance! -- haha!)
Josh & Alli's wedding day was a dream come true! I feel so blessed to have been the one to capture it and be a part of another milestone for such a lovely family. There were SO many beautiful photos from this wedding, but here is a sampling of my favorites:
