Amy and Dan’s honeymoon beach shoot.

With Hurricane Joaquin to the north of us stirring up both the waves and bringing in some clouds and rain, a honeymoon beach shoot was always a little in doubt. Amy and I emailed back and forth during the day and the weather started to clear and we were a “GO”. For this lovely couple visiting the Turks and Caicos for the first time (it will not be their last I think) they wanted to keep it really relaxed, so we did a slightly shorter session for them and just focused on the beach at the Seven Stars resort. Only married a couple of weeks ago they were great in front of the camera and we seemed to spend a lot of the time talking about Scuba diving !  As we waited for the sunset and the odd person walking by, the sky became incredible with ever changing colors. Very little photoshop needed last night. WOW Checkout those sunset pictures – very special. Many congrats to you both.Read More »Amy and Dan’s honeymoon beach shoot.

Time for a beach portrait in Turks and Caicos

Kelly and Dion were married in Turks and Caicos in 2008 and I helped them with their wedding. It actually feels like a couple of years ago not seven ! It was wonderful to get an email from Kelly asking to have a beach portrait shoot whilst they were visiting this summer. We organized it all and I popped over to their villa to get a few pictures and be introduced to the kids (!) before we headed back over to the Grace Bay area for the actual photos. It’s really special to be asked back again and to help capture people’s lives and seeing them evolve through the stages from engagement shoot, to wedding to family pictures. So we did a few “formalish” ones, we hung out, we jumped, ran, dug, smiled, laughed, chased, swung, joked and finally ended up in the water. So great to see the kids jump in and have a blast.Read More »Time for a beach portrait in Turks and Caicos

Elizabeth and Alex’s wedding at Grace Bay Club

Elizabeth and Alex’s wedding at Grace Bay Club was a perfect summer day in Turks and Caicos. It was much more than just a “quick ceremony on the beach and done” as so many elopements around the Caribbean can be.  With a beautiful island to explore, we helped Elizabeth and Alex capture some really lovely moments in some gorgeous settings around the island. While we’ve helped with weddings for 400+ over multiple days, its these elopements and “Island Escape” shoots that often give us as photographers the most flexibility and time. In a way I wish we had this much time and fun with all our couples. All too often its a rush from the end of the ceremony before the last light fades with the sunset. It was fabulous to hang out with this great couple and soak in some Turks and Caicos sunshine and sea breeze whilst we moved from spot to spot capture some special moments. Awesome.Read More »Elizabeth and Alex’s wedding at Grace Bay Club
