“In the midst of brewing chaos and uncertainty, this beautiful couple and their loved ones stole away to paradise to tie the knot for their wedding in Saint Martin,” says Kesha Lambert about couple Latasha and Tenielle’s wedding featured here. “This wedding will be forever held with love and light in our hearts,” she adds. “Why? Because the vibe was one of a kind. They loved hard and partied hard and treated us like a part of the family.”

The picturesque setting for this getaway wedding? Secrets Resort in Saint Martin, a little piece of paradise which Kesha photographed skillfully and vibrantly.

Some of the storytelling details pictured here really pop out—from pastel backgrounds, stunning florals, and waves of warm, inviting waters with a backdrop of bold blue skies and sandy stretches. Kesha did a standout job of balancing voyeuristic style imagery with straightforward ones, and permeating throughout are pure captures of emotion and joy.

As she explains, “The resonating theme was joy. Choosing joy over everything. Choosing love over everything. There were complexities related to travel at the time because of Covid-19, but their loved ones showed up to celebrate them and it was beautiful.” Kesha adds that every person surrounding the couple was genuinely invested in their happiness. “The genuine palpable joy was contagious. They infused culture and personal style into each of the events they planned for their wedding in St. Martin weekend.”

We at WBWP love that Kesha’s photographic approach is so well reflected in each and every one of these images: “My approach overall is to capture what happens in a way that results in images that are a reflection of the couple.”
