Welcome to the Blog

This is where it all goes down, dozens of weddings from all over Bermuda, awesome engagement sessions, the occasional scenic image and sometimes helpful ramblings!

A Destination Wedding with the Best of Both

There is something deeply romantic and timeless about getting married in a centuries old church, after all, St. Peter’s is the oldest church in the Western Hemisphere (1612). While these days most destination couples long for Bermuda’s beaches or the Unfinished Church or other resort venues there is something to be said for staying traditional. Lizzie and Joe’s wedding was a perfect example of this. They included a very traditional Bermuda church service but then spent the second half on a beach enjoying the stunning scenery and location of the Hamilton Princess Beach Club. Joe also embraced the traditional Bermuda Shorts which you can find at Tabs Bermuda.

Combining the old world and new – Bermuda has it!

A Jobson’s Cove Bermuda Destination Wedding

Reyna and Mike had planned their destination wedding around the AirBnB property they had booked as a reception venue and Jobson’s Cove for the ceremony. At the last minute they wanted to add in a first look at the 16th hole of Port Royal Golf Course. Consequently there were some logistics involved as it is in the opposite direction but it all worked perfectly, even the sneaky butt grab for the first look.

Jobson’s Cove is just the most stunning location for any type of session or (small) event, completely private and a natural theatre setup with calm water and just so peaceful. To hold a ceremony there you do require a permit from the Parks Department but that is no trouble and definitely not expensive.

They had organised a catered dinner back on the porch of their rental overlooking the South Shore and what an epic view it was. This wedding was a perfect example of putting together a very unique destination Bermuda wedding experience with your favourite locations!

Another Stunning Cambridge Beaches Wedding

This is just one of many Cambridge Beaches Weddings that I have posted. I’m always so happy to work there as it’s just the most stunning property, very large with many photogenic parts and true sunsets. There are several beaches to choose from, hidden gardens that can get you out of the harsh afternoon light and always somewhere new to explore.

Sophia and Ben stuck with Bermuda for their destination wedding despite many postponements due to Covid. She had spent much of her youth on the island and there were no other options when it came to getting married. Their large and boysterous wedding party were a blast, you couldn’t ask to work with nicer people.

The Destination Wedding that Took Over Pompano Beach Club

Most of the time with destination weddings it’s really hard to get ALL of your guests under one roof, well multiple roofs at the same property! Typically there are 2-3 options for guests due to location or price point. That was not the case with Cecily and Ben. They booked out the entire Pompano Beach Club for ALL 180 of their guests. It’s a pretty cool thing to be able to look out at the beach, walk through the restaurant or hang by the pool and see only your wedding guests.

Their theme and colour palette game were also very strong. Super fun colours and the pink scooter theme throughout. All in all a blast with the a lovely group of friends and family.

Perfect Pairing of Two Bermuda Wedding Venues

The Unfinished Church in the Town of St. Geroge’s is truly a world renowned wedding venue, completely unlike other wedding venues. It is perfectly suited for wedding ceremonies and pictures but does not offer any option for a reception space. That is exactly where the Loren fits in, it’s nearby and has wonderful indoor/outdoor event space for most weddings. Spectacular ocean views showcase Bermuda’s South Shore. These two wedding venues make for a great combination. Page and TJ had the most amazing day with friends and family, the decor and flowers at both venues were simply stunning, an elegant masterpiece which perfectly suited their style and theme of the wedding.

A Bermuda Engagement Session off the Beaten Path

How about a unique location for a Bermuda Engagement session, like caves, mangroves and adventure? While the most popular options are the South Shore beaches and the Town of St. George’s there are many other great, fun choices available. Michelle and Michael wanted something different and were drawn to the caves at Blue Hole / Tom Moores Jungle. The area is loaded with pathways that lead to unmarked caves, a beautiful lagoon and even a stunning beach with mangroves. It all came together into a fun afternoon and certainly makes for a unique look.

Why a Bermuda Garden Wedding can be a Great Option

Yes it’s Bermuda and yes, we are surrounded by ocean but that doesn’t mean you have to get married by the shore. There are some amazing properties that have stunning gardens which are perfect for a wedding. Granted most are private property but if you have access to such a location they can make for a great setting. Riley & Mat had just the right location for their special day and they decorated it perfectly. Utilizing a private property gives you access to many more options such as hiring your own catering and an added bonus is you get to bring your dog!

Two Great Locations for a Bermuda Elopement

Carolyn and Brendan were after a private and intimate Bermuda elopement and were just looking for a turnkey solution. After making arrangements, coordinating licenses, flowers an officiant and setting time the big day arrived. They knew they wanted the Unfinished Church but they also wanted the Southshore Beaches. It’s a bit of a drive but if it’s just the two of you for your own private elopement you can do what you want! After their ceremony and some time for pictures we headed off to Jobson’s Cove and timed it perfectly with the evening colours. Just another advantage of a private elopement – you get to go where you want without other wedding pressures! A perfect Bermuda Elopement.

A Truly Unique Bermuda Wedding Experience

There are not many locations in Bermuda that I haven’t photographed a wedding at these days and so you can imagine how delighted I was to have the opportunity to work with Ash and Eddy on Hinson’s Island. Nestled in amongst other islands in Hamilton Harbour, Hinson’s has a handful of family homes along with some fun, covered pathways that cut across the island through the trees. One of these pathways was to be their ceremony site and although logistically challenging it couldn’t have been more captivating!

Like many couples Ash and Eddy had to downsize their plans due to Covid and as such everything stayed very small and intimate. Cocktails were back at their place and then it was a relaxing cruise to Harbourfront for dinner with a spectacular sunset serenading them along. A perfect day – congrats to you both!
