A “Maine” Event in Vieques, PR

clip0001With a stunningly gorgeous sunset wedding as the backdrop, the tears streamed from Matt’s eyes as he watched his Beautiful Bride, Brianna, escorted by her parents, walk down the wooden steps leading from there Villa to the beachside ceremony where he waited to exchange I do’s.

I was up to my hips in that 80 degree water for most of the Service as well as my wife Michele who was handling the Photography.  You have to go to where the best  shot is, mine just so happened to be in the water.

 If any of you know me, I’m an avid fisherman and my next attempt will be to videotape a Wedding in the ocean up to my hips while still being able to throw a line, talk about a dream job.

While it was a short ceremony, it was full of emotion as 50 of Brianna and Matt’s family and friends looked on.  Michele and I received many wonderful compliments all evening long from our new friends.  They even pulled Michele onto the dancefloor with them later that night.  But you can bet she didn’t let go of her camera!  So, someone’s got those pictures!  We both had a wonderful time documenting the day for our new-found neighbors.  These folks live just up the road from us in Portland, Maine. All your kind words were taken most graciously, thank you once again.

Sandy Malone who owns and operates Weddings in Vieques had every little setting laid out perfectly.  Whenever I Videotape one of Sandy’s Weddings In Vieques, I know that the guests as well as the Bride and Groom will have the best of EVERYTHING.

I’m fortunate to see the complete set up for the Reception before the guests and family arrive,  Sandy’s Staff  is on top of its game.  As guests see the venue for the first time as they arrive, most have their breath taken away at the sight of this gorgeous destination wedding.

A little about this awesome Wedding Party Brianna & Matt chose, do you people ever sleep?  I get around the island quite a bit and I ran into them everywhere.. more at Al’s Mar Azul than anywhere, nothing wrong with that.  You guys were so much fun!  Matt and Brianna have wonderful friends who know how to party, and so do their families.  Hardly anyone sat out the dancing that just never quit.  The bridesmaids danced to just about every song played and I even saw someone’s Dad and mom dancing in the pool. Don’t worry dad, it’s all over the DVD.  What a Party.

I had a great time and hope to run into you folks again someday.

Best to you all, Bruce
