Our Honeymoon

We had such an amazing time at on our honeymoon at Sandals in Whitehouse, Jamaica. The resort was all inclusive and there were so many activities, we always had something to do. A lot of the days we decided to just lounge by the beach and have our butlers bring us our food, but other days we decided to venture out and actually go to the restaurants, night clubs/bars, and theaters. Other days, we decided to go tubing, scuba diving, snorkeling, boat riding, going to the spa and the pool and go to the Pelican Bar on a catamaran cruise. The entire honeymoon was so perfect - I don't think we would have changed anything!! The food was amazing, we made some friends while we were there and really had the chance to enjoy our first week of being Mr. and Mrs.!
 
Our bed was decorated so pretty each night that we were there!


Even the bathtub was decorated! :)



Fancy drinks in a coconut!

We had so much fun!

Excited to finally be able to wear our wedding rings!

The Reception

We had SO much fun at our wedding reception!!! The photos by our friend and photographer, Jennifer Woodbery capture some of the memories that were created that night. Everything turned out so beautiful. The details that went into our wedding truly made me feel like I was looking at my dream wedding on pinterest - but in real life! :) It was truly the day that I had dreamed about my entire life growing up!! Here are some of my favorite shots from that night:
