Happy New Year to everyone! 2016 was a great year for Fiander Foto!

Many thanks for letting me capture those special moments in your life – it was a blast! Wishing everyone a happy and healthy New Year!

Bridal Portrait Shoot
I'm excited to share a few photos from a Bridal Portrait Shoot I planned and photographed with a team of talented vendors and models in Bermuda this past July. Photos to be released shortly, although to tide you over below is one of my top images to share as a “sneak peak”.
I’d like to send out special thanks to my husband, Jim West, for assisting with – well, everything on that day – especially the lighting. A massive thanks to videographer Lara Smith from LDS Multimedia, Michelle Geary from GIMI Flowers, Jenn Doe from Studio Wedding Hair Bermuda, Keisha Ramsey from Chrysalis Cosmetics, Jessica McGuinn from BHLDN, Rebecca Singleton from TABS, Ronnie Maughan from The English Sports Shop, Gaby Boyer from Bermudian Weddings, and perhaps the star of the shoot, Gail Musson – our seamstress!

Photography Show: "Salt Stories: 10 Years Later" - Photo Essays By Melanie Fiander
Seasons Greetings to All! I'll be having a solo photography show titled, "Salt Stories: 10 Years Later" at Bermuda Society of Arts in Hamilton, Bermuda. I'll be showing 44 photographs in total. The collection of images makes up three photo essays, each one with a story to tell. However, there is a common element among all three; salt. Both in the literal and figurative senses salt is present in each photo essay. Opening night is on Friday, December 11th at 5:00 pm! We hope to see you there! The show will stay up through January 6, 2016.
