Here I sit finally having had completed my destination wedding photo session.  Laura and Justin got married at an exquisite beach front resort http://www.mandarinoriental.com/bermuda/special_occasions/September 26, 2009.  I always love going to the islands and just when landing at the airport you can see turquoise water for miles around.  So picture that and the finest softest sandy beach with a pinkish hue to become husband and wife.  Laura and Justin did just that!  The day started out looking as though the dark clouds were going to bring a nasty storm our way.   After all it is hurricane season in Bermuda right now and so it was a definite possibility.  Luck was on our side and proved to be the ideal weather for a beach wedding.

Laura was so beautiful and she wore an antique pearl necklace handed down from her grandmother.  She had been so sweet towards Justin when her dad gave her away.  Before the minister began his ceremony Laura grabbed Justin and gave him a huge hug and kiss.  Then the minister proceeded!    Justin was so in love with Laura and looked at her with pure joy in his eyes.  He was so adorable after the ceremony was over and just kept admiring his wedding band (see attached photos)  so so cute!

The reception was really fun and everyone had an amazing time dancing and celebrating this perfect union.  I was so happy to have been a part of their day and able to enjoy such a spectacular trip as well.  Congratulations Laura and Justin!

I am in the process of trying to get caught up with my blogging. I am starting with a wedding I photographed last week in Kingston Massachusetts. Well the weather was very clear and a beautiful day for a wedding. Lucky since the ceremony was held at Grays Beach in Kingston where the bride and all of her bridal party were barefoot on the beach for the occasion. We then went to Jones River Trading in Kingston for the reception. This venue was so unique and perfect for a wedding. When you first arrive you can't see the beauty of the place but when you enter inside - Wow! I suggest taking a look at their website for anyone who wants a great place to hold a reception.

Kait and Andy are so wonderful together and it reflects in the images that I shot. The thing that stands out in my mind is that Kait is a petite girl and Andy is a tall person who picks her up like a doll in order to kiss her. So so so adorable. Here are some photos of their wedding! Enjoy them.

Here are some images from my photography session with Shaila.  She was beautiful and a really easy model to work with.  I ended up taking advantage of the situation for her by adding in a couple family portraits as well.  Why not?  They were there - Take a look!
