I had posted a video back in February about our trip to Bahamas, not for a vacation but to film Neha and Prakash’s wedding. As this was our first destination wedding, me and Evan had to make sure before we left that everything necessary was packed in order to cover everything properly. One thing that we found out was that we packed more than we could handle, especially for the Atlantis hotel a.k.a the Maze. This hotel’s grounds are so large that by the end of that trip I had lost most of my weight from walking and ended up coming back with only my equipments and my bones (both fit in the suitcase). The only things that kept me and Evan going was Neha, Prakash, their guests and bahama mamas.
On our first day we had a chance to check Atlantis and its surroundings out, including the venues where the events were taking place. One of the things that shocked me was how cold it was in Bahamas, we were caught off guard. I got to shoot and test out our equipments that evening (you can check this link for the clip).
The next day Neha and Prakash had planned a visit to our close mammal friends, Dolphins, but the forecast had called for rain. Once we got outside we saw sun, so we tagged along with them. It was definitely an experience, but unfortunately the staff wouldn’t allow us with our cameras into the water so we had to shoot from a distance. That same night Neha and Prakash held a mehndi/sangeet, the evening was filled with steelpan, dancing, food, drinks, singing and to top everything off a big fish tank in the background.
The last day of events was of course the wedding, and it was spectacular. We had the beautiful Atlantis hotel as the backdrop, wild winds to add drama to our attires and Neha & Prakash to start their new lives together.
I want to thank Evan again for all the hard work that he put in.
