Keith and Chloe vow renewal
It’s been a while since I blogged…
This assignment pushed me to REALLY believe in myself. If you know photographers, we have a style and comfort zone to take photographs in. We like to control our light and surroundings as much as possible.
Well, this one took me completely out of my zone and pushed me to adapt and overcome. Aniya… thank you for always being that voice in my head (kick-ass Jason…LOL). Also to my wife who constantly reminds me…“you got this”
Chloe and Keith got married in the COVID wave and didn’t have photos after their wedding, they traveled back to Barbados and decided to renew their vows and take some photos. I was lucky to be awarded this opportunity to capture their moments, it also was a push for me to change how I approached situations. Honestly, this was not an assignment but a lesson for me.
The ceremony was short and to the point and we started our adventures to make some memories, Chloe and Keith, thank you! this really took me out of my box. You guys were amazing!
Enough of my yapping, check out these moments!
Angelic and Allan
Meet the McDowalls!
I had the opportunity to work with this young couple on their wedding day in March 2019. What can I say? It was a great time.
Angelic and Allan reached out to me the year prior about their wedding and what they had in mind for the grand event, Allan stressed that this was not a typical wedding this was going to be a short ceremony and a party. After a minor change in venues we were all set to go.
A little of what went down…

Meet the Cassidys
I will start by saying that I live for clients and moments like this…
Mukti and Ryan Cassidy on their beach walk
Ah, where to begin ... AMAZING! I was weary about booking a photo shoot for our 3rd Anniversary, I’m sooo glad I did. Jason was prompt answering all of my questions and concerns! He made you feel at ease from the first moment to the end. He is the most professional, fun, down-to-earth photographer! He listened to what I wanted and I got nothing short of exactly that. Special memories, captured for a lifetime. All thanks to him. I highly recommended him if you are needing a shoot done in Barbados for anything. Meeting him and luckily his wife for our shoot was the best experience. It’s like making new friends in new places! Hopefully we will return to Barbados one day!
Had the most amazing time EVER with this couple, I would do it all over again!! Thank you so much for allowing me to capture your moments on your special celebration. Definitely will look into that breadfruit next time they are coming!!
Here is a little of what went down for their session
About the views…
Loved how the sunlight was in Mukti’s hair that day
Told me they loved nature and the tall trees…
We would love to have a sunset… Sure thing!! (thanks to my wife for the lighting)
We had a great time!
Mother and Daughter Photo session
It was an honour and joy to photograph these two ladies.
Received an email from Deirdre (Dear-dra - inside joke) asking about my availability to photograph a special moment for her and daughter. A few emails to and fro and we were set with the date and location.
Deirdre's requirements were simple, she wanted natural and relaxed photos in a nice location. The best place for this would be Farley Hill National Park, it's just a magical location. "Make sure you get some candid moments" she said.
Deirdre & Chloe met me with warm smiles and excitement in their voices, I knew this was going to be a wonderful time, we chatted and walked. While walking I would either dart ahead of them or drift back and capture their interaction with each other, we chatted about why this trip was so special for them, Chloe had just turned 18 and this was their way of celebrating, first time to the Island and just having fun and adventure.
Whilst chatting Deirdre asked, "what made you get into photography?" after a few seconds I looked at her and replied, "this...creating memories for people"
I hope to meet them again, here's a bit of what happened.
