Happy Wedding Day to Joanna and Alec! I had a great time photographing their Rehearsal Dinner last night at Elbow Beach and am really looking forward to shooting their wedding today! Special congrats to the two lovebirds!
The day is finally here – and although we could not make the wedding – we’d like to send a special “shout out” to Dan and Michi on their Wedding Day! As you walk down the road of life together, may your lives continue to grow in love and happiness! xo Mel & Jim xo

I'm excited to share a few photos from a Bridal Portrait Shoot I planned and photographed with a team of talented vendors and models in Bermuda this past July. Photos to be released shortly, although to tide you over below is one of my top images to share as a “sneak peak”.
I’d like to send out special thanks to my husband, Jim West, for assisting with – well, everything on that day – especially the lighting. A massive thanks to videographer Lara Smith from LDS Multimedia, Michelle Geary from GIMI Flowers, Jenn Doe from Studio Wedding Hair Bermuda, Keisha Ramsey from Chrysalis Cosmetics, Jessica McGuinn from BHLDN, Rebecca Singleton from TABS, Ronnie Maughan from The English Sports Shop, Gaby Boyer from Bermudian Weddings, and perhaps the star of the shoot, Gail Musson – our seamstress! Last but not least – a huge shout out to our fabulous models Rachel Sawden and Ryan Gibbons; a photographer could not have asked for better folks to photograph. Stay tuned for the rest of the images!
Happy Valentine’s Day to all of you!

A photographer could not have asked for better weather or lighting on the day Laurielle, and Andre had their engagement photos taken! These two lovebirds won a free engagement shoot from me the Orchid Spa Bridal Expo, which was held at the Fairmont Southampton in Bermuda last February. This post is "extra special" today because the island is currently (as I type) sitting through Hurricane Joaquin! As you can see by his uniform, Andre is currently enrolled in the Bermuda Regiment. After a hurricane, the soldiers in the Regiment go out into the community to help clean up after a storm passes.

A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of photographing a "home wedding" at a gorgeous location in Fairylands. For those of you unfamiliar with this neighborhood, it's located in the parish of Pembroke in Bermuda. Just as the name suggests, each mansion in this area was built to display stunning architectural features... fit for magical fairies to reside in; or at least for creative minds.
Before the twenty guests arrived and before the bride emerged in her white silk dress, the violin player began to tune her instrument. For those of you who know me well, you know I come from a musically inclined family and have a soft spot for violins, particularly when they are playing bluegrass tunes. At this moment, I gazed across the courtyard and took this shot of Ms. Tiffany Fox. I can honestly say that I've never heard a violin sound so beautiful during a ceremony. If you're looking for a violinist for your big day, look no further!
Offer Ends May 10th!
