We wanted to incorporate beautiful scenery and bold colors in our location, which led us to the decision to do a destination wedding. Most of all, we wanted to be relaxed and enjoy the day, so we focused on eliminating as much stress as possible from planning. The ceremony wasnt until 4pm, so we had plenty of time to take in the beautiful Jamaican backdrop as well as spending time with our friends and family that were in attendance. It was really important to us to create this fun and relaxed environment. We also wanted to do something that not every bride and groom would do or would want to do; with this in mind, coupled with the Jamaican heat and humidity, the entire reception jumped in the pool after the reception! Our photographer Olivia jumped right in with us, and was able to capture some great moments from our boisterous impromptu pool party.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"relaxed destination wedding at Palladium Resort in beautiful Montego Bay, Jamaica - photos by Ontario based wedding photographer Olivia Brown\" alt=\"relaxed destination wedding at Palladium Resort in beautiful Montego Bay, Jamaica - photos by Ontario based wedding photographer Olivia Brown\" src=\"\/img\/whatjunebugloves\/june2010\/carefree-jamaica-destination-wedding-olivia-brown-photography-2.jpg\" border=\"0\"><\/p>\n<p><b>What were your wedding colors?<\/b> <i>We didn&rsquo;t want to pick particular colors &ndash; we wanted the tropical location to be the color palette.

Walking towards Blair and looking out on the ocean and beautiful scenery I knew I was marrying my best friend in the best possible way. Since my parents weren&rsquo;t in attendance, having my two older brothers walk me down the aisle was very special. I LOVED my dress. It wasn&rsquo;t traditional, but it was still bridal and I feel it suited my style and the location perfectly. We also couldn&rsquo;t have chosen a better photographer for the occasion. Olivia fit in so well with our group, and took some amazing shots. She captured the day and our personalities perfectly. We did a trash the dress photo shoot the following day where a lot of my favorite shots came from. <\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><b>Blair:<\/b> I loved seeing Heather walk down the aisle, and seeing her in a wedding dress for the first time.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"romantic day-after shoot on the beach - fun, tropical destination wedding in beautiful Montego Bay Jamaica - photos by Ontario based wedding photographer Olivia Brown\" alt=\"romantic day-after shoot on the beach - fun, tropical destination wedding in beautiful Montego Bay Jamaica - photos by Ontario based wedding photographer Olivia Brown\" src=\"\/img\/whatjunebugloves\/june2010\/carefree-jamaica-destination-wedding-olivia-brown-photography-4.jpg\" border=\"0\"><\/p>\n<p><b>The Wedding Team:<\/b><br>\nPhotographer: <a href=\"http:\/\/oliviabrownblog.com\/%20\" target=\"_blank\">Olivia Brown Photography<\/a><br>\nEvent Planner: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.grandpalladiumjamaicaresort.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Nekeisha Reid<\/a> &ndash; Grand Palladium<br>\nTravel Agent: Dawn Fairbanks &ndash; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.northstartravel.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\">Northstar Travel<\/a><br>\nCeremony Venue: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.grandpalladiumjamaicaresort.com\/%20\" target=\"_blank\">Grand Palladium <\/a><br>\nReception Venue: Creole Restaurant<br>\nWedding Dress: Jasmine Bridal from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.charmantebridal.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Charmante Bridal<\/a><br>\nBridal Accessories: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.charmantebridal.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Charmante Bridal <\/a><br>\nBridesmaids Apparel: <a href=\"http:\/\/guessbymarciano.guess.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Marciano<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thank you Heather and Blair!
