Alex & Synda- Married Away, Destination Wedding Day- Getting Ready


Wedding Day on Canouan Island arrived and everyone was a buzz. The awesome staff of the Raffles Resort had surprised each wedding guest with a decorated golf cart, fit for the occasion. The preparation started early as we were given the task of waking up the bride. But not surprisingly there's no waking up Synda, she's a girl on a mission with lots of things to do before the ceremony time of 11:00.

Okay, have I ever told you how much I LOVE to swim. I mean LOVE to swim. So you can imagine how jealous I am of Synda's Villa. WIth her very own dip pool.


The Flower girl was all smiles




Getting her make up done. You should have seen all of us in the Bathroom. The bathrooms are really huge but try putting one bride, a makeup artist, a video crew from "MARRIED AWAY" , the fabulous wedding planner aka "The Wedding Diva" and me. Needless to say we got inventive looking for angles to shoot.




I love Synda's hair piece, it was her something borrowed.

So as the girls are finishing up we had the chance to jump on the golf cart and scream up the hillside to catch Alex just finishing getting dress himself. Sorry Jill if I scared you half to death with my fabulous golf cart racing skills :)



A quick relaxed portrait of Alex.




We then raced back to see the girls as they helped Synda in to her gorgeous dress.



Synda is all smiles as she puts on her earrings.




The brides bouquet. I can't tell you how visually stimulating the resort is. I just love these walls and yes they are that yellow.




Okay so I told you how amazing the resort staff are and how they decorated each golf cart. I thought it was so awesome that as we arrived to the chapel they park our carts so you could see the decorations.

No don't worry I've got tons more to show. You just can't imagine how hard it is to narrow down the ones for the blog. I can't wait for you to see the slideshow I'm putting together for the next installment! There will be lots more amazing and beautiful pictures to come.

Until then leave me a comment and tell me what you think!
