There is something undeniably timeless about a destination wedding at Half Moon, Jamaica. When Shawntel and Laquann reached out to me to capture their big day, I knew it would be a masterclass in Caribbean elegance.


As a Jamaica wedding photographer, I’ve seen many venues, but Half Moon Montego Bay offers a unique blend of 400 acres of manicured lawns and two miles of private beachfront. It is truly a dream backdrop for any couple looking for luxury and intimacy in one place.

Many couples ask, "What does a full wedding gallery actually look like?" While Instagram shows you the "best 10," a real wedding story is told through the small details and the candid, unposed moments.


From the quiet anticipation of the getting-ready suite at Founders Cove to the high-energy reception under the stars at Sunrise Beach, this collection showcases the variety of a full day’s coverage.


Choosing a venue like Half Moon Resort is a statement in elegance, and your photography should match that standard. Having captured numerous destination weddings in Jamaica, I understand how to navigate the island’s unique lighting and tropical climate to ensure you look your best from the first look to the sparkler exit.


I invite you to browse through Shawntel and Laquann's full gallery below to see the consistency and quality you can expect for your own big day. As a premier Jamaica destination wedding photographer, my goal is to make the process seamless, professional, and—most importantly—fun.
