Liz & Carl, Destination Wedding in Belize

This post is really long, but I thought you’d want to see the story unfold!

The morning of Liz & Carl’s wedding was pretty laid back. After a swim in the pool, Mom, Kyle and I had gone out for a walk down the beach, and we happened upon Liz & Carl returning from a dive. I am so glad I got to get a pic of them in their wetsuits. They went on several trips while they were there, so it will be a good memory for them.

We returned to the Belize Yacht Club and went for another swim. Liz was tanning by the pool to get a last minute glow. Then she headed in for a manicure and pedicure. Irma really did a great job, and Carl stopped by for some entertainment.

Then we all got cleaned up and ready for the action. I joined Liz as she began getting ready, and Kyle caught up with Carl. Mom got ready and headed up to the rooftop to grab some shots to set the scene.

The ceremony got underway without a hitch. The weather couldn’t have been more beautiful. People gathered to watch from their hotel rooms, and on the beach.

This was a treat! Will & the Caribbean Shells provided music for the ceremony & reception. They followed Liz & her Dad up the aisle and serenaded us with “Welcome to San Pedro,” a catchy little number. Mom, Kyle and I have been singing our own versions of this song ever since!

Carl wrote out his “vows” to Liz, and Kyle captured this shot of him fiddling with Liz’s ring while he was reading the vows to her. I love it.

Following the kiss, Liz & Carl went over to sign their marriage certificate. Then they were officially pronounced “husband and wife.”

After a bunch of family photos, we spent about 15 minutes with just Liz & Carl to get some great shots of them together.

We even went up onto the rooftop for a few as the sun was setting.

This one is my absolute favorite of the two of them. I want it to be a full spread in their album!

The water was so beautiful. We went out on a pier for a few shots as well.

The reception was around the pool area, surrounded by coconut trees and overlooking the ocean. The tables were decorated in vibrant turquoise and orange.

The cake was pretty tasty!

The reception was lit by twinkle lights under the tents, and the glow of the pool and Splash bar.

I like this shot of Liz & Carl’s first dance.

Mom experimented using the large zoom lens, and got this shot of Kyle and I on the dance floor. I can’t remember what we were strategizing about. Perhaps the bouquet toss.

Next post is images from our “day-after” shoot in downtown San Pedro with Liz & Carl.
