Elopement: K & B - Hamilton Princess Beach Club

Elopement: K & B - Hamilton Princess Beach Club

During these winter months - I’m dreaming of summer time ceremonies - which reminds me of Kelly & Brian’s Elopement. They were one of the coolest couples I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Under a stunning sunset, these two “tied the knot” at the Hamilton Princess’ Beach Club.

Wedding: Kristie & Jeremy - Annandale, VA

Wedding: Kristie & Jeremy - Annandale, VA

Happy Anniversary to Kristie & Jeremy!

It’s not everyday you get to photograph your childhood friends’ wedding… and it’s certainly not everyday you get to photograph part of the wedding at your own parents’ house. For this reason, this wedding was an emotional one to capture. Kristie and I - along with her brother, Scott - grew up together. I was either down at their house or they were up at ours. We spent Saturday nights and holidays together, swam on the same teams, fished our neighborhood creek together, terrorized the neighborhood on bicycles together, and got into good-ole fashion mischief together.

A "Covid" Elopement - Lauren & Ed at Horseshoe Bay & The Loren

A "Covid" Elopement - Lauren & Ed at Horseshoe Bay & The Loren

Lauren and Ed were married in the "midst” of a pandemic. With their masks, wedding attire, and dog - the two “tied the knot” at Bermuda’s beautiful Horseshoe Bay Beach. After which, they held a virtual reception at The Loren. (How cool, right?) This included a virtual cocktail hour via Zoom with several of their friends and family members. They also held their First Dance and Cake Cutting over Zoom. From there, we went over to The Residence at The Loren. Lauren - being a documentary filmmaker - and Ed - being a doctor - both shared a common love of English Sparking wine. They cracked open a bottle and we set off onto the beach for our sunset photos - the perfect ending to an elopement!
