Recently I married the man of my dreams!!!

Eric and I ran away to Dominica to elope and celebrate our honeymoon. It might seem strange or maybe it's totally normal that after attending a thousand weddings I wanted something special and simple for my own wedding.
What we ended up doing was picking one of our favorite waterfalls, Middleham Falls, to exchange our wedding vows, rings, and have our first kiss. We had a small hike to get to the waterfall and went early so that we would have the spot to ourselves. Later we made more wedding photos around Dominica to show off the beauty of the island.

We made our own wedding photos and video by setting up a camera and a GoPro on a tripod.

I'm sure you all know at this point that I'm a photographer based on St Thomas. My clients find me mostly online, so it is so important that I have a strong website to show my photographs. I just made a new website that I welcome you to visit here http://sagehammond.com. Please let me know what you think.

Lately I have found myself working a lot, so I've started taking a moment to myself at the end of each day. My happy place is on the porch with a glass of wine and watching the last bit of light fade away from the day. I love seeing the shift of colors in the sky change... it is one of my favorite times of day. 

Since I'm recently engaged and thinking about my wedding, I've started to look for a little white dress to wear when I get married. It's a little strange that I never thought about what kind of wedding dress that I would wear to my own wedding, I guess I've always thought about the being married part and not the day. Since I'm a destination wedding photographer I've seen everything from a white bikini to the traditional American princess wedding dress and I love them all.
Since my wedding is going to be very untraditional I plan to have a very simple dress that just makes me feel good. I was even thinking about this emerald green dress until Eric seemed upset that it wasn't white. So, I guess I'm going to keep with  the white dress tradition. How did you pick your wedding dress?



PS First dress from bebe, second dress from BHLDN, and the last 2 are from Free People (yes, I'm a bit of a hippy girl at heart). I also really like J.Crew's wedding stuff.
