Y’all. There are some amazing coconut palm trees at the St. Regis. Let’s go check ‘em out!
I met up with Jenny and Mark at Bermuda’s newest hotel - the one and only St. Regis - to capture their babymoon and celebrate the upcoming arrival of their daughter. We had blast during the photo shoot! Not only did we create amazing images but we also formed a friendship - which is always the best part of my job! I look forward to their return as a family of three in the near future!
Who doesn’t love a backyard wedding? Furthermore, who doesn’t love a backyard wedding with a gorgeous water view on Memorial Day Weekend?! I first met Maddy - the founder and owner of Novah Swimwear - and Caleb at a New Years’ Eve Party at The Loren Resort, where Jim and I were working the photo booth. In the Fall of 2020, they reached out about wedding photography! Finally, the day came when Maddy & Caleb said “I do” at her parents’ house in Bermuda. Days after the wedding, the couple hosted an amazing wedding celebration on The Zara.
Spring is the perfect time of year for daffodils, rabbits, and weddings in Rhode Island! Kayleigh and Brian tied the knot at The Chanler at Cliff Walk just as all the florals in Newport were bursting!
This time of year, I always think back to the many visits my family and I made to the Tidal Basin to check out the Cherry Blossoms Festivals and see the blooms. Four years ago, my mom and I went downtown to check out the trees. After driving around for what seemed like an eternity, we found parking. Mom and I waltzed around the sidewalk, took a bunch of photos, visited the Dr. Martin Luther King’s Monument, and enjoyed the rays of sunshine coming down.
Who doesn’t love a little maternity shoot in both a jungle and at the beach? I had a fabulous time with this young couple! Khaoula and I hit it off at once with our connections to Morocco; she being born and raised in Casablanca and my Aunt coming from the same city! I can’t wait to work with them as a family of three in the near future.
Photoshoots that take place at home are an awesome idea on many levels. One’s house is a place of comfort, an escape from the "toils” of the outside world, a home for our pets, and a place of personal expression. For all of these reasons, one’s personal dwelling makes for an excellent location choice for a photoshoot. Regardless of the photographic genre - wedding, engagement, maternity, newborn, family, or content imagery - photographs taken at home are unique. This week, we are discussing six tips to keep in mind for newborn & baby photo sessions that occur at home.

In the summer of 2017, I received the sweetest email from a young high-school student named, Carissa. She informed me that she was a student at Somersfield Academy, she was a big fan of Taylor Swift, and wanted to be a photographer. Carissa was quite firm on the latter; she asked me if I’d be interested in “taking her on” as an intern. I admired her enthusiasm (along with her excellent writing skills) and we linked up for coffee. Thus began her internship! Three years later, this young woman has graduated high school with honors. Carissa is a Freshman at Penn State, studying Photography and Marketing. I am beaming with excitement for her; Carrisa’s going to accomplish great things!
New Years Eve is one of the most romantic days to get married! David - our Scottish Groom - and Brianna - our Bermudian Bride - tied the knot on this very day one year ago! If you’re looking for a little “winter inspiration” for your wedding, be sure to check out the amazing color palette selected by these two.
It’s the most magical time of the year - and - Jim and I would like to wish you and yours the happiest of holidays this year! 2020 has certainly been an interesting one and we want to thank all of our clients. Fiander Foto would not be the same without ya! We’re taking a little bit of time away from the office to enjoy the holidays with our family and friends. We’ll be away from our desk starting December 24, 2020 - January 4, 2021 - although - we will be checking our emails periodically. Please allow 3-4 days to respond during the holiday season. Enjoy the holiday season and stay safe. We’re looking forward to capturing many more memories in 2021!
~ Buon Natale a Tutti! ~
