Wedding: A & P - St. Regis & Unfinished Church

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!

Wedding: Molly & Trae - Rosewood Bermuda

Molly and Trae - very well may be - one of the sweetest couples I’ve had the pleasure of working with! When we linked up to first discuss their small wedding at Rosewood Bermuda, we instantly “clicked” when we realized we all went to college in the same small town in southern Virginia (and all had breakfast at the tiny dinner right off the main road - albeit it a few years in apart). Many congrats to the two of them!

Wedding: M & C - Private Home, Bermuda

Who doesn’t love a backyard wedding? Furthermore, who doesn’t love a backyard wedding with a gorgeous water view on Memorial Day Weekend?! I first met Maddy - the founder and owner of Novah Swimwear - and Caleb at a New Years’ Eve Party at The Loren Resort, where Jim and I were working the photo booth. In the Fall of 2020, they reached out about wedding photography! Finally, the day came when Maddy & Caleb said “I do” at her parents’ house in Bermuda. Days after the wedding, the couple hosted an amazing wedding celebration on The Zara.

Wedding: Kristie & Jeremy - Annandale, VA

Who doesn’t love a “homegrown” wedding?

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.

Elopement: Lauren & Ed - 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!
