Trash the dress

Trash the dress on your 10th anniversary.

We’ve had a “flurry” of returning families and couples this past week which has been lovely. Debby and Patrice were married in Turks and Caicos ten years ago at the Point Grace resort.  They have been frequent visitors to TCI over the years and followed our blog so on their tenth anniversary  a “Trash the Dress” shoot and a renewal of vows was on the cards.  The shoots were on two separate days so we picked up everyone and helped with a few family pictures before they headed off to the Beaches resort for their ceremony and then a few days later we did part two with just the two of them. So great to catch up again. The kids were awesome, the family happy to be driven around to some fun locations and I LOVE the shots of the two of them on Taylor Bay – a special place for them… The waves and wind were not too co-operative for the underwater shots and trying to get underwater in a wedding dress that traps air is a crazy difficult task as times (so I’ve been told!!)

How to make your Caribbean elopement fabulous.

There are many destinations in the Caribbean that will offer a simple, two person elopement package. Almost every resort in the Caribbean offers their version of a “Caribbean elopement”, but how to make it unique, different, your own? With Michelle and Donovan last week we helped them create a fabulous elopement by planning a great afternoon of fun locations, a first look at their Gansevoort resort and by creating pictures that have a little “extra” glamour and island vibe but still holding true to their own style and personalities.  Fantastically Michelle and Donovan were  keen to toss out the “30 min shoot on the beach and chocolates on your pillow” and  come play with us in Turks and Caicos as we travelled around the island. It was great fun. We helped with shoes, dresses, timings and had them back to the resort with 5 minutes to spare before the ceremony started. This was a really fabulous wedding – natural, flowing, elegant but with a real tropical twist. I even got to be in one of the pictures !

Baby on the beach!

It’s always a very special time when we have returning clients visit us in Turks and Caicos. Last week  Christine and Ruben brought their lovely new baby Ava for a “baby on the beach” photo shoot. We helped Christine and Ruben with their wedding celebration a couple of years ago and now they were back with a new addition! Such fun.Read More »Baby on the beach!

Maternity shoot on gracebay beach.

A simple maternity shoot on Gracebay beach.

It does not seem five years ago that we were helping Thermala and Sam with their wedding day. How time flies in paradise! It was wonderful to have Thermala reach out to us to help them celebrate the upcoming arrival of a new baby. Is it a boy or a girl? They don’t know and it will be another couple of months until they find out. A simple maternity shoot on Gracebay beach was what they wanted and exacty what we did. Lovely couple and we cannot wait to see the new addition in the New Year ! A low key family moment to reflect and celebrate this moment in life.
