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.

Content: Yoga Instructor - Akilah

I had a wonderful time working with Akilah on this photo shoot! I’ve tried yoga a handful of times, although after photographing Akilah - she made me want to jump right back into the practice. While her career started in the field of law, she left her desk-job to pursue a new path. As we walked around Coney Island and Ferry Reach, she told me her backstory and goals for her newly founded yoga instructor position. To learn more about her business, please check out her website.

Maternity: J & M - St. Regis, Bermuda

Y’all. There are some amazing coconut palm trees at the St. Regis. Let’s go check ‘em out!

I met up with Jenny and Mark at Bermuda’s newest hotel - the one and only St. Regis - to capture their babymoon and celebrate the upcoming arrival of their daughter. We had blast during the photo shoot! Not only did we create amazing images but we also formed a friendship - which is always the best part of my job! I look forward to their return as a family of three in the near future!

Wedding: M & C - Private Home, Bermuda

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.

Maternity: Khaoula and Mafaz - Southlands & Marley Beach

Who doesn’t love a little maternity shoot in both a jungle and at the beach? I had a fabulous time with this young couple! Khaoula and I hit it off at once with our connections to Morocco; she being born and raised in Casablanca and my Aunt coming from the same city! I can’t wait to work with them as a family of three in the near future.

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!
