Nothing Fishy Here

This couple had chosen the El Pescador Lodge in San Pedro, Belize, for their wedding because of the great local fishing. “We had just finished the first look at the end of the dock and a storm had rolled through quite literally minutes before, so the air smelled like fresh rain and there was a slight breeze,” says photographer Christine Hansen.

They were making their way back from the dock when Hansen turned around and saw the couple with the most satisfied looks on their faces. “I just saw this perfect moment that I wanted to capture: him holding his fishing pole and her just sipping that Belize beer, walking back hand in hand to say their vows. For me, it was as if time just stood still for that second that I lifted the camera to my eye and I was able to capture exactly what I felt.”
