We headed to Nassau with our own Kaitlin and her groom, Ryan, to document a fun filled weekend on their cruise wedding!

Ryan and his guys met up the morning of the wedding to shoot some hoops before getting ready to leave the ship for the wedding.

This is NOT one of Ryan’s guys, just some random guy showing off his belly flop.

After the guys left the ship they browsed the street and ended up in a really cool cigar shop.

Kaitlin’s grandfather was the officiant. He was so sweet waiting to see her for the first time in her dress.

The ceremony was at a 260 year old British Colonial Style estate in Nassau.

Kaitlin had not seen the estate or where the ceremony would take place, except online. Everything was so perfect and when she saw her father ready to walk her down the aisle, she could not help but to get teary-eyed. Earlier in the day Kaitlin had given Ryan letters that she wrote as a little girl, written to her husband, on how she wanted to be married in a secret garden. On the way to the estate, the driver asked where we were headed and told us “oh, that place is known as the secret place.” I agreed it was tucked back so many people do not know about it. And when we saw the garden where the ceremony would take place, it was so sweet, it was Kaitlin’s Secret Garden.
