Diana + Yanel’s Destination Wedding

by Alex Rodriguez on January 4, 2009

Diana & Yanel selected a one of a kind location for their exclusive destination wedding. This intimate late November wedding took over this spectacular private island. Little Palm Island was the perfect location for a destination wedding and a wedding photographer’s dream. Aside from an amazing location, their family and friends made this romantic ceremony and reception an intimate and romantic affair! Diana & Yanel’s amazing attention to detail was spectacular and the bond they share was a dream to document.

About Little Palm Island…

Accessible only by boat or seaplane, Little Palm Island Resort & Spa represents the ultimate escape. As you cross clear, turquoise waters on your journey to the island, bid adieu to life as you know it. You’re about to enter a new reality; one where the white-sandy beach welcomes you ashore and the Jamaican palms wave in welcome.You wake up to a blissful quiet, broken only by a heron’s call and the gentle lap of waves. You snuggle closer. A cloud of soft linen envelops you in a comfortable cocoon. You dream of your trip here last night on The Truman, the 35 foot launch named after one of the island’s most famous guests, and glide again through sultry waters to arrive at this remote island full of Jamaican palms and exotic blossoms. And you wonder if you can ever leave. Welcome to Little Palm Island Resort & Spa, the internationally acclaimed private island paradise, listed among the top resorts in the world by Condé Nast Traveler and Travel+Leisure magazine.

Feel worlds away in the peaceful seclusion of your thatched-roof bungalow, nestled at the ocean’s edge. The resort’s 14 luxury bungalows accommodations are comprised of two separate one-bedroom suites, each featuring luxurious touches like a king canopy bed draped in butterfly netting, a spacious living room, an indoor and private outdoor shower, a dressing room, and a private verandah overlooking the beach and ocean. Each 550 square foot suite is fully air condioned and has a Nespresso coffe maker, mini bar and safe.

Tucked offshore of Little Torch Key and accessible only by boat or seaplane, the resort is a world unto itself, alive with hidden pleasures. Crushed seashell paths wind through lush gardens to thatched-roof bungalows, which serve as your guest quarters. Extra spacious, each suite and grand suite has romantic touches such as a king-size bed draped in butterfly netting, verandahs with ocean views and, in some rooms, private outdoor showers and jetted tubs.

From the lagoon-style pool to the meditative Zen Garden or the cozy Great Room library, a perfect serenity sweeps over you as you wander the island. Oversized hammocks beckon from the trees. Lounge chairs nestled in the sand call from the beach. And at the end of the day, return to your private bungalow for peaceful seclusion to dream again.
