Wedding at Beaches Turks & Caicos

After my first meeting with Stacey and Jimmy at the French Village, I knew right away that this was going to be a fun wedding to capture at Beaches Turks & Caicos.

Stacey and Jimmy are both divers and knew that they wanted to have their destination wedding somewhere with crystal clear warm water and great diving. The Turks & Caicos Islands was the perfect place.

Their wedding ceremony took place at the all-inclusive Beaches Resort Turks & Caicos with around 18 of their closest family and friends celebrating this very special day with them.

After the ceremony, I took the bride and groom outside their resort to some of the most beautiful beaches you can find on this island.

Just before sunset, Stacey and Tim went in the water for a ‘trash the wedding dress’, a perfect ending for a couple that loves the ocean.

Turks and Caicos trash the wedding dress

After capturing two wedding ceremonies on two different days with Katlyn and Neil, we met once more but this time it was for a very different type of photo shoot; an underwater ‘trash the wedding dress’.

We don’t normally get the chance to capture these types of images very often, but when we do, we love it! Swimming in the crystal clear waters of the Turks & Caicos plus taking underwater photos is just amazing and lots of fun.

For the photo shoot we went to Smith’s Reef near Turtle Cove Marina. The water that day was flat calm and super clear…add to that a good looking couple and you have the perfect combination for some beautiful images!

An intimate wedding for two at Beaches Turks & Caicos

Last week I had the pleasure of photographing the intimate wedding of a great couple at Beaches Turks & Caicos.

Amanda and Matt, who have been together for twelve years, knew they wanted to have a destination wedding somewhere in the tropics and for them, the Turks & Caicos Islands was the perfect location.

Their wedding ceremony took place at the Beaches Resort just a few feet away from the beautiful Grace Bay beach.

Amanda and James wanted to do something a little different and less formal for their wedding photos. So, after their ceremony, I took them to a very secluded beach for a few photos and then we went to one of the best spots on Grace Bay, Smiths Reef, where we ended the session with some underwater ‘trash the wedding dress’ photos đŸ™‚

Fun family shoot at the Tuscany Resort

We love capturing family shoots at the beach, especially when the kids just want to have fun playing with their parents and running around near the water.

About a week ago, I met with the DiSanto family at the beautiful resort of The Tuscany just an hour before sunset.

As it was still quite bright we decided to start by taking photos around the lush tropical gardens of the resort.

The super fun part was on the beach, where the family had a blast walking, running and playing in the sand until we ran out of sun light!

Here are some highlights from their family shoot at the Tuscany Resort….

A private destination wedding for two at Grace Bay Club

Not every destination wedding we photograph in the Turks & Caicos is a big wedding, sometimes we have the opportunity to capture small private weddings with just the Bride and Groom.

Stacey and Bryan came to the Turks & Caicos to celebrate their wedding. They wanted something simple and very relaxed so they decided to do it without a wedding party and had a beautiful beach ceremony, just the two of them.

On February 14th I met with Stacey and Bryan at the Grace Bay Club Resort where they were staying and we began by taking photos around the beautiful gardens.

For their ceremony we moved to Grace Bay beach where Stacey and Bryan made their vows against a perfect backdrop of sand, sea and sunny blue sky.

Here are some images from their wedding…..

Planning a destination wedding in Turks & Caicos

Stacey and Brian and her parents came to the islands looking for a hotel and vendors to help them with planning their future destination wedding in the Turks & Caicos for July this year.

During their short stay on the island they visit a few hotels but they felt that the Somerset Resort in Grace Bay will be the perfect one for their wedding.

Stacy and Brian will have around 30 guests coming to the Turks and Caicos to celebrate their wedding and to enjoy of a great vacation at the same time.

Last week Anita and I had the great pleasure to meet with Stacey and Brian and her parents for the first time at our office. As part of the meeting with us we had time to do a quick engagement session.

Just about thirty minutes before sunset we went to Leeward beach were did some photos with future bride an groom in on of my favorite beaches in Provo. Stacey and Bryan had fun time during the session, especially practicing  doing a “dipping” đŸ™‚

wedding anniversary in the Turks and Caicos

A wedding anniversary is always a very special occasion but celebrating 50 years of beautiful marriage is really something! And what better way to celebrate than coming to the Turks and Caicos islands with your family, which is what Connie and Rodney did.

On January 31st Craig and I met with the family at The Sands resort. Over the next hour we captured some photos around the beautiful resort gardens and then we moved to Grace Bay beach to catch the last few minutes before sunset.

Here are some highlights from the wedding anniversary photo shoot…..
