Matt & Lindsay | Renaissance Aruba Resort | Aruba Wedding Photography

I love Lindsay & Matt’s story … they are one of those lucky couples who met on eHarmony and fell in love.  They both like to snowboard and hike as well as travel. So it was only fitting that Matt propose to Lindsay in St. Lucia over the holidays and then have a destination wedding.  Since Lindsay...

Taylor Dupuis - Hello,

Your photos are amazing! Absolutely beautiful!
I have a strange request…I was wondering if you would be able to find out if Matt and Lindsay the couple who had the Aruba wedding would be willing to e-mail with me regarding details of their wedding. I am considering planning a destination wedding and their wedding looks absolutely perfect! I would love to ask Lindsay some questions about their experience in Aruba, any difficulties, and actual cost.

Please let me know if this is at all possible.
Thank-you kindly for your time!
Sincerely, Taylor Dupuis.July 24, 2011 – 12:27 pm
