Going on Location: portraits in NYC and Kona, Hawaii
My favorite thing in the world (when it comes to photography) is to shoot in a new location. I am asked all the time, “where is your favorite place to shoot?”… my answer is always, “somewhere new!”
So…. I’m going somewhere new! A part of New York City I’ve not yet explored and a beautiful beach in Kona Hawaii I’ve yet to walk barefoot on.
If you will be nearby consider scheduling a photography session with me. An engagement session or a “trash the dress” session would be so fun. I’ll be in New York May 19th & 20th and in Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii June 2nd & 3rd. There are so many places to explore and have fun. If you are wanting some amazing photos of you and your love now is the time!
Just email me to schedule a time: studio at jenniferdery dot com
See you soon!

Balboa Park Wedding at the Prado Ballroom - Lindsay & Brian
I love the getting ready time at a wedding. It is so…..intimate, emotional and downright fun! The images I can get when nobody is really thinking of performing for the camera yet are always wonderful. Lindsay and Brian’s wedding was full of great, honest moments and great details! Here are just a few…..

Kelly & Raj in Cancun (part two)
As promised, a few more images from Kelly’s & Raj’s wedding day. It isn’t often that I’m given 3 hours to just play with the bride and groom. Typically I get about 30 minutes (squeezed between family photos & the reception) so it was a lot of fun to not have to keep an eye on the time.
My husband wanted them to jump off a ledge, which they did, my angle made for a crazy looking shot…
I love how Raj is looking at Kelly… he loves her… so sweet….

Kelly & Raj getting married in the Mayan Riviera (part one)
I’ve been dying to get some images up from Kelly’s and Raj’s wedding at Aventura Palace just south of Cancun in Mexico. It was just the two of them but even so was just as emotional and powerful as any wedding I’ve been to with a guest list of 400.Here is part one, I’ll try to get part two up on Monday. Have a great weekend!
Yes those are tears below running down Raj’s cheek…
the wind was not our friend this day, but it sure made things dramatic!

Vivian & James’ Mayan Riviera wedding - Moon Palace
Usually destination weddings have a smallish list of guests…somewhere under 40 is typical. Vivian & James however filled an entire ballroom with at least 65 people. Everyone was wonderful and got along well which is very important when you are all staying in the same all-inclusive resort for the entire stay.
When you do a destination wedding the best part is getting to know all the guests and family. We found out Vivian’s family is from Cuba, they must have great dance lessons there because it was really fun to see them on the dance floor! On top of that it turned out that Vivian and her brothers went to the same high school as my husband. The world just keeps getting smaller!
A few images for your viewing pleasure….

The wedding carriage arriving at the “chapel”
The chapel was a little on the toasty side, both Vivian & James needed to catch a little breeze to cool off.
who can resist running through a flock of seabirds?
with the heat & humidity, it was a treat to have the dancing moved indoors.. conga!
so the next morning as we were checking out, I caught a quick shot of the newlyweds heading to the pool… a little weary, but very happy! Congrats you two!

Puerto Morelos in the Yucatan - adios!
I had every intention of doing numerous blog posts while here in the Yucatan. But this IS Mexico, and I forgot I couldn’t always depend on the internet in the middle of the jungle or at the beach. Honestly it’s been a blessing in disguise because it has forced me to be just a bit more on vacation that I’m used to. Vacation, what’s that?
We started this trip in Cancun for the wedding of Vivian and James, spent some time touring the Mayan temples, came back to Playa del Carmen for the wedding of Kelly & Raj, then spent some time decompressing in Puerto Morelos at the amazing Ceiba del Mar hotel & Spa. (I really want to shoot a wedding at Ceiba del mar, beautiful!)
I’m going to do blog posts about all the events, tours and things I saw when I’m back, but for now you just get a few teaser photos to tide you over. We leave in a few hours, so sad, but we’ll be back!

Wedding weekend in Cancun, Mexico - the arrival
Saludos y buenos días!
We’ve arrived (finally) in Cancun for the destination wedding weekend of Vivian & Jim. It was a 12 hour trip from door to door but not entirely unpleasant. Duh, I forgot I had upgraded us to 1st class so it was a surprise for us as we boarded the plane. Gotta love those air miles!
Today was Vivian and Jim’s rehearsal but I’m just going to give you a little teaser and I’ll post more later…….
