Married | M & R | Tensing Pen

As you may have previously read, I went last November to Jamaica to take pictures of this couple for their intimate ceremony at Tensing Pen in Negril, Jamaica. At the time I couldn’t publicly post many images but they have graciously allowed me to go ahead and publish images from the wedding and day-after-session.

The wedding took place just before sunset on the cliffs of Negril with just a few people present for this gorgeous event. The bride wore a stunning Monique Lhuillier dress and the groom was trussed up and looking handsome in his creme tux. The bridal party consisted of the bride’s sister whom wore a stunning strapless dress in hot pink – the wedding color. The makeup, flowers, officiant and dinner was all provided by Tensing Pen.

It was a warm day that day and I believe M was just a bit nervous!

I wanted a shot or two on the bridge because it was such a dramatic location at the resort, but I started off with a few shots of just them on the bridge appearing to have an ocean backdrop with nothing around them.

I wasn’t kidding when I said the bridge was dramatic, there is a 30 foot drop between the bridge and the water. When waters are calmer, people spend a good part of the day jumping off this bridge but the waters were too choppy for any of us to attempt this when we were here (nor would I EVER have anyone do this when wearing this much clothing!). However the bridge is more stable than it looks and was a great spot for some pics to really showcase the resort they got married at.

Finally getting the spin right, the sunset was gorgeous but I hear Negril typically puts on a better show. Hopefully I’ll find out someday 🙂

We were seeing if the spot near the water was accessible or not (due to the front at sea there was a lot of waves and the spot was too wet to take them to). However I did love this shot of R as she’s waiting on M to come back up from the location.

Instead we got some shots with the sweet light just before sunset on the lounge chair near their hut.
