Event: BDA Pride Parade - 2024

“Family Affair” was the theme of this year’s Pride Parade, which was hosted by Pride Bermuda and took place in the City of Hamilton. As a proud ally and second year sponser of Bermuda’s Pride Week, I was excited to capture this event. I would personally describe this event as one of the happiest hosted in Bermuda; all are welcome. The parade itself is (roughly) an hour long walk around the City followed by a party in Victoria Park.

There’s nowhere better to spend your New Year’s Eve than at The Loren at Pink Beach! As The Loren pulled out “all the stunts” for this one ~ so did we! Their package included event coverage, a live photo booth, and our “regular” photo booth - that captures still images and GIFs.

Event: America's Cup Opening Day

There’s a very contagious bug going around Bermuda and it’s called the “America’s Cup”!   Jim and I made our way to our friends' house on the western end of the island to check out the races. As soon as I saw the AC45Fs flying through the water, I was hooked!  Jim and I rooted for Oracle Team USA, who won their race against Emirates Team New Zealand!  After watching the races at a friends' house, we made our way to the America's Cup Village - where we thoroughly enjoyed Jean Wyclef's show and the Opening Ceremony!  For the past few years, Bermuda has made many changes to pave the way for the 35th America's Cup!  The sailors have lived in and around our community and with Opening Day finally arriving, it was very exciting to see them in action!
