Vas & Julia: {wedding} 2 of 3

This wedding was so incredibly special and unique with the fact that Vas is from Russia and Julia is from Ukraine. They met in the USA, got engaged in Paris and were married in Jamaica. There is no doubt this couple is up for an adventure as one of their favorite things to do together is travel the world. I love that! They had family and friends fly from ALL OVER THE WORLD to come and take part of their special day. Again I, along with Michael, feel HONORED that we got to be two of those lucky people to experience this beautiful occasion. 

Jewls and Vas- you guys are AMAZING and we really appreciate you giving us this amazing honor. : ) 

And so part two begins…

They released two doves right after they were pronounced husband and wife. I adore this shot of Julia trying to calm the dove.

Julia is also Jewish so they incorporated the breaking of the glass as well… cool huh???

How happy do they look? You can’t help but smile.

As I shot a few photos of the newlyweds, Mikey got this shot that I think is hilarious of the flower girl. He is soooo good at capturing children and all of their wonderful emotions!
