We had booked our photographer for both the wedding day and a day after shoot because I knew that I wanted to get some beautiful shots in Jamaica outside of the resort with just me and J. I had originally wanted to take a few hours the day after the wedding to walk around and find some cool places to take pictures and just have a fun, relaxed photoshoot with my husband. The hurricane of course, killed that idea since the “day after” became the “day of”. Poor Punam did not even get to finish her breakfast as I called her so early in the morning (I had done a poor job of planning that day because of the emotional state I was in the prior day and not even knowing how the weather would turn out) asking her to come early so we could start taking pictures.
At this point, we were still unsure of the state of Tensing Pen and if the wedding was actually going to happen.
Along the way to Tensing Pen there were all these cool buildings, landmarks and even destroyed/abandoned buildings that we stopped by and got some wonderful pictures.
I have to mention that we were walking around in extreme heat, I mean everyone was sweating. I don’t ever sweat and even I was sweating. J said it was the first time he had seen me sweat. Punam would be like “wait! I can’t see anything because sweat is dripping into my eye!” It was kind of miserable at the time but funny to think about it now.
Also, a lot of the places we were taking pictures were full of obstacles and dirt/rocks/stairs/bushes and I managed to do all of that in my very heavy gown and 4 inch stilettos. J told me later on that very few women could do that and he was quite proud of me. 🙂
