For Courtney Ian Roger Oakley and Jennifer Efani Majumazia, a “hot” Wedding Photography in Saint Lucia was an easy choice. “It’s a dream destination; just being a place that is known to be luxurious. Saint Lucia is known for doing weddings. It’s every girl dream… if you want something nice, cosy, luxurious,” says Jennifer. Getting married in a gazebo with the lush vegetation and radiance of the tropics, Jennifer says, “it wouldn’t be the same at home.” That was only part of the many, many, many factors that made the couple choose a destination wedding.
The only heat from their dream wedding came from the tropical climate, as Courtney explained, “She has quite a lot of family and friends that would have made it extremely difficult to do a wedding without a lot of fuss and extreme expense because we couldn’t invite everybody.”
Family and friends of both bride and groom were able to break the ice in Saint Lucia for the special occasion that culminated a meeting on a train. From helping Jennifer, a Virgin Atlantic employee, to carry her bags to carrying her over the threshold; Courtney, a chief architect of government computer systems, has shown he knows how to court a lady.
With each other’s support the newlyweds are taking their newly married status in stride. “It’s just a normal progression,” says Jennifer. When Courtney jokes that, “I don’t feel any different, like I’m an alien or anything,” she teases back, “Maybe that will happen… with time you’ll feel differently, yea?”
They did feel a little more relaxed after the Wedding Photography though, as they had a bit of running around to ensure everything was in keeping with their expectations. “We read on the Internet that Saint Lucia is the #1 spot for weddings,” says Courtney, who was looking forward to enjoying Saint Lucia’s wonderful ocean and coastal views with a scenic boat trip after their big date. Jennifer adds, “We thought the people would be experienced because they’re used to doing it. So the small touches would be done and extra touches. That’s why it’s special, more than they would offer in the U.K.”
Definitely adding a distinct and special touch to the wedding was photographer Bill Mortley, whom the couple found through Trip Advisor.”You can get quite addictive when you’re preparing for a wedding, every few days you’re checking and making notes,” says Jennifer. “You had great reviews! I was looking for the bad ones because I wanted to see what else is there.” Although the reviews for some hotels were not all rosy, she was surprised that for Bill Mortley Photography, “There were none at all!” As these wedding photos show, that was with good reason.
