Since so many of Lori & Damian’s friends & family were coming down to Bermuda for the wedding, I offered some Mini-Portrait Sessions to everyone! Because who doesn’t want some great family photos to remember such an awesome vacation?! Check out my favorites from our Mini Sessions at the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum & Zoo!
Bermuda vacation!
One of the benefits of traveling to a destination wedding via cruise ship is that I was “forced” to be on vacation for a few days! To make it SO much more awesome, one of my best friends since childhood came along! Marietta had visited Bermuda after her graduation from THE Ohio State University, um, a lot of years ago – so it was extra sweet to visit together again!
Bermuda, the first time… we definitely missed our friend Kara this time around!
And also, we look like babies. Skinny, drunk, babies…
Leaving Boston!
Fun times on the ship!
The view from our ship when we arrived in port… not a bad site to see when you wake up in the morning!
This is how WE enjoyed the Welcome Dinner…
Our day at CoCo Reef after the wedding…
My beautiful friend!
Making the most out of having an underwater camera on this trip – time for snorkeling!!
The next day we got to go on a Blue Water Divers’ snorkeling adventure through with the bride and a bunch of the guests!
SO FUN!
Exploring wreckage of ships beneath the sea
And then it was time for a relaxing voyage home! Bye bye Bermuda!
My favorite color! I could stare at the ocean for hours!
On our last night, Lori & Damian invited us to dinner with the rest of the party – so of course, I took a group photo!
I’ve known this lady for over 30 years!!!! It was such a treat getting to enjoy all of this with such a dear friend!
Lori + Damian — Bermuda Destination Wedding at Coco Reef
Lori & Damian’s wedding began with preparations in the morning, on the cruise ship!
Getting ready is a bit more complicated in a cruise ship cabin, with children & grandchildren around… ;)
A few portraits on the dock before heading to CoCo Reef!
One of my favorites from the day! I love how Damian loves his grandson!
CoCo Reef was a gorgeous place for a wedding!
I love this sweet moment between Lori & her daughter, Emma!
Time to get married!
Best backdrop for a wedding, EVER!
The happy new family!
Just a few moments alone…
The Reception
LOVED these wedding favors! (I use my beach bag all. the. time!)
After the delicious lunch, it was off to the beach to enjoy the day! Talk about a great wedding reception!!!
What an awesome day!
On the cruise back to Boston, we shot some more casual portraits all over the ship – it was so fun!

Lori + Damian — Bermuda Destination Wedding — Welcome Dinner
When Lori called me to discuss photographing her destination wedding, I was all ears! Then she told me that in order to do it all, I’d have to accompany them on their 7-day cruise from Boston to Bermuda, I was like YES PLEASE!! Sign me up! It was such a great opportunity to get to know Lori & Damian, and a lot of the friends & family since half of the wedding guests came on the cruise too. What a fun way to get married!
On our first day in port in Bermuda, Lori & Damian had a Welcome Dinner at the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo. SO COOL! Everyone got entrance to the Zoo as part of the dinner, and had the chance to walk around and check out the wildlife and the views before the party started. The seals were my favorites!
A few portraits with the fishies before dinner… love these!
Dinner & drinks surrounded by tanks of fish on every side – it’s awe-inspiring!
Dark & Stormy anyone?
Much more to come… stay tuned!

Bonnie + Steve — LaBelle Winery Wedding
Bonnie & Steve’s wedding at the LaBelle Winery in New Hampshire, was SO fun! It was sunny all morning and began threatening rain before the ceremony – but wouldn’t you know it, the rain held off until we finished family portraits outside! And then it POURED! That certainly didn’t stop the party going on inside… these guys enjoyed their reception to the fullest!! Check out some of my favorites from their day…
First Look in a open field in the noonday sun? no problem!
Steve cracks me up! He’s officially my first groom with a Go Pro and a selfie stick! How cute are they together?!
Gotta love a fun bridal party!
Time for the ceremony, and everyone got emotional! I love that even with a First Look that moment coming down the aisle still made Bonnie cry! There’s just nothing quite like it.
Peace out, little man!
So happy!
Reception Time! How much do you LOVE these ladies?!?!
More happy tears!
Tearing up the dance floor!
SUCH a great wedding!! Thank you Bonnie & Steve for having us there to document and enjoy the awesomeness! xoxo
And big thanks to my second shooter for the day, Peter Morse!
Bonnie + Steve — Engagement Portrait Session
I had so much fun walking around Somerville with Bonnie & Steve during their engagement session! It was great to just get to know them both a little better, and enjoy their neighborhood. Engagement sessions are such a fun peek into my clients’ everyday lives – and I think that’s just as fun as being with them on the BIG days!
Home sweet home!
