Alexa & Bill: Bermuda Wedding

The weather outside was frightful - but inside it was delightful... oh dear the Christmas carols have begun and get stuck in my head. 

Alexa and Bill were married a few weeks ago on an unbelievably blustery, wet day. But the warmth that surrounded them was just wonderful. They stood at the altar at St John's Church and exchanged their vows as their family watched. Hiding in the door at the back of the church was a passer-by. He could not see around the corner, but he stood there listening to the entire service. It was a little odd, but it touched me too that a total stranger would be so moved by the wedding ceremony of people he did not know. I moved closer to capture their first kiss as husband and wife and as I walked back up the aisle, he was gone. It really was a beautiful ceremony and clearly Alexa and Bill adore each other. Thank you both for the honour of capturing your lovely wedding. 

The Hughes Family

Kim and Alun have moved into the house my parents had been renting. Kim is an interior designer with BMID and has made some absolutely wonderful changes. It was strange to see the house looking so different. My mothers studio is now Phoebe's bedroom and my father's office has been transformed into Madison's bedroom. The dining room is a den and the living room is now the dining room too. The livingroom has the most beautiful architectural details as it was the entrance hall when it was first built. Kim has painted the walls and it is incredible how such a simple change has had such dramatic effect. I decided to do a few of the girls in their entrance hall before Alun came to join us for the family portraits outside by the pool. Thank you all for a great shoot - and Kim, thank you for showing me the house - you truly have done an amazing job.

Tim & Claire: Bermuda Wedding

I was a guest!!! It was so wonderful to be at a wedding and to just watch - to really see the bride and groom smile at each other, to make their promise and to seal it with a kiss. As much as I adore shooting, it is different to see what is happening without peripheral vision being obstructed. Although, having said that, I did bring my camera - and I did take a few photos. I could not help myself. It was so lovely to spend a few moments alone with Tim and Claire and to give them that time to be with each other away from their guests. Thank you both for the most amazing day; your wedding was absolutely beautiful and I am so happy for you both. xoxo
