Elopement: City of Hamilton, Bermuda - K & O
K & O flew over to Bermuda from the UK to tie the knot with only their “parents in tow”. K had lived in Bermuda as a young girl and the island has always been a special location for her and her family. After getting ready together at the Newstead Belmont Hills Golf Resort and Spa - we made our way to the Registrar General’s Office for the ceremony. Smiling from ear to ear, the couple said “we do”. From there, we walked to Queen Elizabeth Par-la-Ville Park and Barr’s Bay Park for photos.

To ensure enough time for all of the cool spots in “TAWN” (as we say here in Bermuda), a 90min session is required. If we’re also making time to visit Ft. Hamilton, a 2-hour session is required. Be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes; we’ll be doing a little exploring!
~ Queen Elizabeth Par-la-Ville Park ~
The Queen Elizabeth Par-la-Ville Park - also known simply as the “Par-la-Ville Sculpture Park is a joint project between the Corporation of Hamilton and the Bermuda National Gallery situated in the Queen Elizabeth Park in the centre of Hamilton. The majority of the sculptures on display are part of The John Hinson Young II and Nelga Young Collection which was gifted to the BNG by the former owners of the Lantana Cottage Colony in Somerset. “ (Bermuda National Gallery)
~ ALBUOY’S POINT & BARR’S BAY PARK ~
Looking for a water backdrop? The City of Hamilton also provides just that! Albuoy’s Point is located close to the ferry terminal and boats a stunning view of Harbour Road’s neighborhood in the background. ”Lying at the water’s edge of Hamilton Harbour is the idyllic Barr's Bay Park. This relatively small park is a veritable jewel in the City’s crown. Barr’s Bay Park has an unrivaled view over the yachting marina of the nearby yacht club. (City of Hamilton)
~ FORT HAMILTON ~
”Located at the eastern edge of the City, with sweeping views across Hamilton and its Harbour lies, Fort Hamilton. It was built in 1870 by the British as the first line of defense for the City against any unprovoked attack. In reality, it never saw battle, and no cannon was ever fired in defense from its ramparts. Today the Fort has been transformed into a public park.” (City of Hamilton)
Civil Ceremony: J & B - Registry General, Bermuda
J & B tied the knot at the Registry General in the City of Hamilton. The goal was simple: get hitched & then go for a swim at Grape Bay Beach!

Dressed for the latter, we celebrated J & B’s union in a dare I say - heartfelt civil ceremony beautifully performed by the officiant. This event was particularly special for me to capture because one of the grooms is my brother-in-law. The saying “Love is Love” never felt so right.
With their marriage certificate in hand, J & B celebrated their spiritual ceremony a few days later at the family homestead. Click “here” to see their wedding.
