Beautiful Beach Wedding

I mentioned in this previous post that Stephen and I just spent a wonderful week in Jamaica. Our trip's purpose was to celebrate the marriage of Stephen's brother Justin to his beautiful new wife, Rosa. The lovely wedding was held on the most stunning day of our stay.
Their wedding package included a resort photographer who did a great shoot, but she wouldn't allow me near enough to get good shots at many points of the day. I captured a few that I like. I think that this shot of monarch butterflies being released is my one of my favourites of the day.
It was a bright, sunny day, and I used a fill flash on most of the shots. Sadly, by the time we got to sunset, my external flash battery was so low, and it's reset time was so long that I missed a few great shots before I gave up and switched to my on-board flash. Here's a favourite of the sunset photos.

I've put together a few of the better shots that tell the story of the day into the slide show below. I learned a lot from this shoot, and it sure helps me recognize how much more I have to learn! I welcome any feedback. I hope you enjoy this little peek into Rosa and Justin's special day.
