Portland is easily one Jamaica’s most beautiful and lush parishes with some of the most beautiful beaches, properties and scenery.
Therefore, it was a no brainer for Neveta and André to choose this Parish as the location for their engagement shoot. However, their session was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Neveta shares, “we had to wait on the phased reopening of the economy and the tourist attractions (which Jamaica relies heavily on). After much calling around, Great Huts welcomed us with open arms. We took the 2 1/2hr journey from Kingston. It was our first time at Great Huts and we weren’t disappointed!”
They took full advantage of the rustic, natural, amazingly beautiful resort to take a full day of photos capturing a formal, casual, and beachwear look. They even stopped by the famous and lush Frenchman’s Cove to complete their photos.
