We´re excited to share that Christina has won another award from the Wedding Photojournalist Association. This image from Meg and Shane´s wedding in May placed sixth in this highly competitive international contest.

Shelise & Bruce - Turks & Caicos

Photographed by Christina: I've just returned from the most beautiful wedding at the Nikki Beach Resort in the Caribbean island of Turks & Caicos. Talk about photogenic, Shelise & Bruce make such a gorgeous couple you may think they're from Hollywood, but Shelise is actually an emergency room physician and Bruce is in real estate! They came in from Chicago and flew in their friends and family from all over the country - Atlanta, California and Illinois to name a few. Everyone was so nice and friendly that I instantly felt welcome and part of the crowd. We spent the evening before at the Mango Reef Cafee near Provo followed by a sunset cruise. Yes, I'm completely spoiled. They had a ceremony just before sunset and we spent some time taking photos around the Nikki Resort, which was pretty photogenic too! Shelise & Bruce, thank you once again for including me in your day. I hope you have a phenominal honeymoon in Greece!
