Proposal: K & S - St. George’s Historic Town & Unfinished Church in Bermuda
She said “YES” in Bermuda! What began as a simple couple’s photo shoot quickly turned into an unforgettable surprise proposal in St. George’s Historic Town, Bermuda. S. thought she was capturing vacation memories with her high school sweetheart, K. However, the session soon became a beautiful engagement moment in one of Bermuda’s most historic and romantic locations. We took photos in the allyways, along the water, and at the Unfinished Church. Many congrats to the newly engaged couple!

Elopement: E & J - Rosewood Bermuda & Unfinished Church
E & J flew down to Bermuda to “tie the knot”. After getting ready at Rosewood Bermuda, we made our way to the Unfinished Church for the big moment! As it was just the two of them - both myself and my husband, Jim, were happy to sign their marriage license as their witnesses. Afterwards, we went through the historic town of St. George’s for photos. While it was a blustery cloudy day - we still “nipped down” to Tobacco Bay Beach to take in the view!

I had the pleasure of photographing Angela and Patrick’s wedding day celebrations at the Unfinished Church and the St. Regis Resort; both are located in the historic town of St. George’s, Bermuda. One could not ask for better weather on their wedding day and this crew took full advantage of the sunshine. Many congrats to Angela & Patrick on their union!

After the ceremony concluded, they held their cocktail hour at the back of the church so their guests could enjoy the unique space.
We returned to the St. Regis for family photos, sunset bridal portraits, and the reception.

Wedding: J & W - Grotto Bay & Unfinished Church
The term “Winter Blues” means something a little different in Bermuda; particularly when it comes to a December Wedding”s J & W tied the knot on a warm winter day at the Unfinished Church. There were blue skies and seas “for days” as these two said “we do” on that winter afternoon. Crossing back over the Causeway in a Vintage Car, the Bride and Groom held their reception at Grotto Bay Resort . A unique feature about their special day: the dancing portion of the evening was held in Prosporo’s Caves!

Wedding: J & K - Unfinished Church - Bermuda
The lovely couple flew to Bermuda from the District of Colombia - my hometown - for their wedding with their nearest and dearest. With their ceremony taking place on Good Friday - one could hear the sound of kites soaring overhead from any corner of the island; a very good omen for their special day! Our first stop was the Hamilton Princess, where J & K got ready:
Draped in a gorgeous Berta Dress, the Bride set out to meet her Groom - who was handsomely clad in a custom suit - at the Unfinished Church in St. George’s. During the First Look photos, the bride and groom enjoyed a few moments together - just the two of them. The love and respect between the couple were noticeable as soon as they saw one another. For roughly twenty minutes, the soon-to-be newlyweds laughed and giggled - just the two of them - before their guests’ arrival.
After the guests were seated, the groom and bridal party made their way to the front of the church. Before the bride was escorted down the aisle, all were treated to a (very) emotional interpretive dance by a close friend of the couple. The dance was about learning to love and grow in love. It was the perfect precursor J walking down the aisle; escorted by her two brothers.
After J took K’s hands, the minister noted that marriage is a sacred union, which is not to be entered into lightly. With this gentle reminder, the “wedding day vibe” became a bit more mindful, which converted into a joyous mood moments later as they exchanged their vows. After they exchanged the rings and their first kiss as husband and wife, it was time to jump the broom!
With the conclusion of the group photos, J, K, and I went into the “heart” of St. George’s for a few bridal portraits. As a wedding photographer, this is my favourite time of day to spend with the couple - sunset. The light is soft at this time and when it’s just the couple in front of my camera, we can create memorable photos that will be enjoyed for generations to come.
The couple kicked off their reception at Tempest with their first dance followed by K’s dance with his mother and ending with J dancing with her brothers and nephews. At this time, the DJ decided to “turn it up” and played a bit of Gogo Music to get the party started right.
Overall it was a beautiful wedding day. Many congrats to J and K on their union and many thanks for allowing me to be a part of it!
