Half Moon Resort Jamaica Destination Wedding — Arthur & Andrea | Montego Bay

Dec 31

There’s something undeniably romantic about saying “I do” with the turquoise Caribbean Sea as your backdrop — and Arthur & Andrea’s wedding at Half Moon Resort in Montego Bay, Jamaica was exactly that. As a Savannah wedding photographer who travels for destination weddings, being invited to document their celebration was an honor and a beautiful adventure.

Half Moon is one of Jamaica’s most iconic wedding destinations — a lush, private resort with pristine beaches, tropical gardens, and elegant event spaces that set the stage for unforgettable moments.

The Setting — Montego Bay’s Half Moon Resort

Half Moon in Montego Bay is a world-class wedding venue where laid-back tropical elegance meets refined celebration. From intimate ceremonies on private beaches to elaborate receptions overlooking the water, the resort offers a variety of settings that feel both timeless and luxurious.

Some of the wedding locations couples choose at Half Moon include:

Sunrise Beach — a serene beachfront ceremony space
Great House Lawn — perfect for oceanfront vows
Seagrape Terrace & Pavilion — indoor-outdoor cocktail and reception options
Custom spaces for rehearsal dinners and welcome events

Half Moon’s wedding team also offers thoughtful planning support, ceremony setup, and flexible packages that adapt to your vision — whether you’re eloping or hosting guests.

Arthur & Andrea’s Day

From the moment I arrived, the energy was warm, joyful, and beautifully intentional.

Pre-Ceremony Vibes

Arthur and Andrea chose a relaxed morning full of anticipation — quiet preparations punctuated by laughter, meaningful details, and sunflower tones that contrasted perfectly with the blue Caribbean sky.

Ceremony on the Lawn

Their ceremony took place overlooking the ocean at the Great House Lawn — the sound of gentle waves, breeze in the palms, and the warm light of late afternoon made every moment feel cinematic and heartfelt.

Sunset Portraits

After the ceremony, we took advantage of Half Moon’s breathtaking natural light for portraits along the beach and tropical gardens — capturing genuine connection and the ease only destination weddings can provide.

Reception & Celebration

The reception under a canopy of warm lights brought together laughter, toasts, and dancing that lasted long into the night. The joy of their community — family and friends who traveled from far and wide — was truly inspiring.

What Makes Half Moon Special

Couples love Half Moon because:

✔ Multiple ceremony and reception locations in one resort
✔ Wedding planners experienced in destination logistics
✔ Lush Caribbean scenery perfect for photography
✔ Options for both intimate + large celebrations
✔ Beautiful natural light throughout the day

Whether you’re planning an elopement, micro-wedding, or full celebration, this venue delivers both romantic ambiance and practical planning support.

Planning Your Half Moon Destination Wedding

Here are a few tips if you’re considering Half Moon for your destination wedding:

Book early: Destination weddings at Half Moon are popular — booking 9–18 months in advance gives you the best date options.

Ask about packages: Half Moon offers flexible wedding packages that may include planners, setup, officiants, photography, and more.

Consider guest experience: Montego Bay is more than a wedding spot — it’s a vacation destination for your family and friends. Coordinate group activities around your celebration.

Work with your team: Having a photographer (and planner) who has traveled for weddings ensures smoother logistics and better documentation of the entire experience.

Why Couples Bring Their Photographer With Them

Choosing to bring your photographer — especially one you trust — matters more than you might think for destination weddings:

You already know their style and communication
There’s no need to build trust remotely
Consistent editing and direction
Familiarity with workflow reduces stress

If your dream wedding is outside your hometown, bringing a photographer who travels with you lets your story stay intact — not fragmented. 💛
