Not every album on this site is a wedding. This one is a family.
Fifty-one frames from a vow renewal on Silhouette Island. The couple renewed their vows under a white gazebo with their son in her arms, walked through an arch of red flowers, and spent the rest of the afternoon following him along the beach.
A vow renewal is a ceremony without the paperwork, which means it can be exactly what the couple wants and nothing else. This one was at Hilton Labriz on Silhouette, on the beach at the foot of the granite, and the two-year-old was in almost every frame because that is where he wanted to be.

The ceremony
A white gazebo on the sand, a red flower arch, palm fronds and red petals laid along the aisle, and two gold rings on a bed of hibiscus. They read their vows at the table while their son wandered, exchanged rings, and walked through the arch together. Nobody needed him to stand still, and we did not ask him to.
The family on the beach
The rest of the album is the three of them. Among the boulders, at the tide line, swinging him between them, all three in a hammock laughing, and his small white trainers on the sand beside the petals. The getting-ready frames are on the veranda and in the bathroom mirror, several in black and white.
