Bermuda vacation!

Bermuda Destination Wedding and Cruise

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…

The view from our ship when we arrived in port… not a bad site to see when you wake up in the morning!

On our last night, Lori & Damian invited us to dinner with the rest of the party – so of course, I took a group photo!

Lori + Damian — Bermuda Destination Wedding — Welcome Dinner

Bermuda Destination Wedding and Cruise

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!
