We've Been Blogged! Our AMAZING Wedding in Cuba...shot by Heather Windsor

AlexsBride · April 26, 2011

It has been nearly three months since our Destination Wedding in Cuba and I am so excited to finally be able to share with my fellow BDW Brides...our photos! The decision to take a Pro Photographer was an easy one, but it was made even easier when I saw another BDW Bride's (Tilly In The Sun) photos. The look and style of her photos were EXACTLY what I was looking for! Everything fell into place and I hired Toronto-area photographer Heather Windsor (www.heatherwindsor.com) to travel with my crazy group to Cuba.

A few words on Heather...She is beautiful (inside & out) and talented. From the moment we met her, it was like hanging out with a long lost friend. She is professional, courteous and always responded to emails and answered my questions. On the day of the wedding she was not only taking pictures, but she was also like an "unofficial" bridesmaid, giving advice on hair & make-up and keeping me calm when I burst into tears at the hair salon over my frustration that my limited Spanish was not getting through to the hairdresser on how I wanted my hair to look!

Well that is enough gushing...they say that a picture is worth a thousand words, so here are SEVERAL pictures from our wedding! Enjoy. I will post the Trash the Dress blog when it is up!

Thanks everyone! My photog said that there were a ton of hits on the blog posting, so I am guessing a good portion of those came from you guys! I really could not be happier with the pictures. Except that I was annoyed that there was a BIG YELLOW BANANA BOAT right behind my wedding arch. LOL. She airbrushed that out of the kissing photo though. Apparently the tourists wanted to watch my wedding from the ocean!

My girls flower girl dresses were a whopping $12.95 from H&M and I thought they were just perfect for a beach wedding. I love the photo of my two year old giving me a kiss.

My bridesmaid dresses were from Le Chateau and they both loved them because they are very easy to wear again.

Stay tuned, I will post the link to the TTD photos as soon as the blog is posted. Thanks again. I had some work to do to fit into my dress...like a lot of work. It did not even go up over my hips in October! So in the four months between October-Feb, I had to lose weight and shape up! I did it though and ended up having to get it taken in!
