Real Wedding | Keisha + Christopher in Round Hill Hotel and Villas Montego Bay, Jamaica

We're beyond excited to bring you another breathtaking wedding at one of our favorite destination wedding locales: Round Hill Hotel and Villas in Jamaica.
Lovebirds Keisha and Christopher exchanged vows on a rolling lawn beside the ocean in beautiful Montego Bay. As the photos suggest, the day was filled with love, emotion, and a dreamy backdrop that is as luxurious as it is relaxed. {Of course, we're positively swooning over the bride's style, too}.

We absolutely adore the endless details that add a definitive je ne c'est quoi to the couple's big day... Keisha's earrings {a gift from her groom}, her bridal 'do {intertwined with white cymbidium orchids, no less}, and her something blue {navy jeweled satin d'orsay Manolo Blahniks} were just too chic for words.
If that's not enough, photographer Cengiz of Adagion Lifestyle Photography captured the details to a tee {and with certain sentimentality. Only a few years ago, he was wed on the very same grounds as our couple}!

Keisha and Christopher set the mood for their wedding far in advance through exquisite dark navy, burnt orange and neutral toned save-the-dates and invites. Escort cards {keeping with the wedding's modern, fresh and certainly classy aesthetic} hung from a tall white mazanita tree in a cylinder with white hydrangea balls and hanging crystals.

Bridesmaids wore ankle-length Amsale dresses in varying styles of navy chiffon. Each accessorized with Ginette NY necklaces {a gift from the bride}.

The four dashing groomsmen strutted along the ocean in standard black tuxes while groom Christopher donned custom-made dinner jacket and pants for Kleinfeld. Christopher's handsome attire inspired by Kanye West's "Runway" music video {for whom we're told Christopher is a big fan}.

The bridal party processional was set to the tune of the Israel Kamakawiwo version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", the bridal procession an acoustic guitar rendition of Adele's remake of Bob Dylan's classic, "Make You Feel My Love," the recessional music a Bob Marley compilation.
Amidst the accompaniment, an Adagion Lifestyle photograph captures one of the couple's favorite moments. Bride Keisha notes, "It encapsulates a very important moment perfectly when Chris meets my parents halfway up the aisle and we walk the rest of the way together knowing what we are about to do."

On a lawn by the ocean, Keisha walked down the white-rose-covered isle in Monique Lhuillier Aspen gown featuring lace sweetheart neckline, fitted bodice and trumpet silhouette. The bride created a custom look belting the design with beaded M&J Trimming.

From the Bride... About the Location Destination:
"I was born in Jamaica on the other side of the island though that was not my main reason for getting married there. Chris and I had visited Jamaica a lot together as a couple for long weekends to escape the New York City winters. He loved it, I loved it and it felt right. Plus, we could make it a weekend celebration for our closet friends and family. We had two events before the wedding a cocktail reception on Thursday evening and beach barbeque on Friday night. Each event slowly built up to the wedding and it was a great way for people to get to know each other."
