Yiding & Ben’s wedding at the Regent Palms

The Regent Palms is one of my favorite resorts in Grace Bay to capture weddings. It’s beautiful architecture and lush gardens makes it a great location for photography.

Yiding and Ben fell in love with the Regent Palms and decided that this resort and the Turks & Caicos Islands were the perfect combination for their destination wedding.

Their wedding ceremony took place on Grace Bay Beach on November 24th.  After a lot of planning and waiting for this day it was finally here.

Yiding and Ben had family and friends coming from a long way to celebrate with them, they even had guests all the way from China.

Their wedding reception took place on the lower pool deck of the Regent Palms. This is a beautiful spot with a big dance floor that got a lot of use that night as everyone ended the day having a blast!

Lynn from Nila Destinations was the wedding planner for this very special occasion.

Here are some images from their wedding…..

Point grace

A fun family afternoon at Point Grace.

A fun family afternoon at Point Grace.

The holidays are always a time for families. Over the last few weeks we’ve had the pleasure of helping the Magnier’s with two lovely family photo shoots. Both shoots were at the  Point Grace Resort & Spa  which is one of our favourite resorts.  This time we had Erica’s family and they wanted to spend a little more time at the beach, but we still did some photos around the beautiful gardens of Point Grace. The time at the resort gives the little ones time to relax and get to know us and get into the ‘groove” of having pictures taken. However having helped the Magniers with so many previous shoots – they almost feel like family anyway!

For the last thirty minutes before sunset we moved to Grace Bay beach where Sylvie and her brother Ludovic enjoyed playing and posing with their family.

Here are some images from their family session….

Liz & Chris’s wedding at West Bay Club

Liz and Chris always wanted to do a destination wedding. After searching around a few different islands, they found the perfect destination – the Turks & Caicos Islands. A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing their wedding at West Bay Club.

Now managed by the Grace Bay Club, West Bay Club is located at the quieter end of Grace Bay, making it the perfect location for a beach wedding.

So at just a stone’s throw from the resort, Liz and Chris celebrated their marriage ceremony on one of the world’s most beautiful beaches and following a few cocktails at the beach bar, they moved back into the resort for the wedding reception.
It was a fun night with great people and lots of dancing and laughter. At the end of the evening, everyone moved back onto the beach to watch a fire dancer performing in the sand.

Here are some images from the session…

The Magnier family portrait at Point Grace

I last did a photo shoot with the Magnier family just a few months before their son Ludovic was born. During that shoot, I took some fun photos of Sylvie trying to hear her baby brother in her mum’s belly, without much success. Last week we met again for another family session and this time it was with the new family member, baby Ludovic. For this session we decided to meet at Point Grace. This little boutique resort located in Grace Bay has some beautiful gardens that are great for family photos before heading down to the beach. This session was particularly special because one set of grandparents were able to join in on the fun. We ended the afternoon near the beach dunes with a beautiful view of the sunset. Here are some images from their family session… Read More »The Magnier family portrait at Point Grace

Ashley & Michael Turks & Caicos enagement

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing a very fun and friendly couple, Ashley and Michael from New York.

Ashley and Michael came to the Turks & Caicos looking for the perfect resort and local venders to help them plan their destination wedding for next year. As part of their visit, they came to meet with us at our photo studio where we decided to do a quick engagement session around our beautiful island of Providenciales.

First we took pictures at a couple of my favorite spots in Blue Hills then we ended our session at the beautiful beach of Sapodilla Bay.

The photos were not just of Ashley and Michael though – they brought their cute dog along to the session. He had an awesome time swimming in the water, running on the beach and playing with a ball!

I look forward to shooting Ashley and Michael’s wedding next year.
Here some images from their session….

The wedding of Melissa & Chris at Grace Bay Club

Choosing the right island and resort to celebrate your destination wedding can be a hard task, especially with so many beautiful places to choose from.

Melissa and Chris came to the Turks & Caicos a few months ago looking for that perfect place and they found it. They fell in love with our beautiful islands surrounded by crystal clear turquoise waters.

After visiting a few resorts around the island of Providenciales, they finally decided that Grace Bay Club resort was the one for them.

On November 16th Melissa and Chris got married on Grace Bay beach under an incredible wedding arch made of drift wood, covered with beautiful tropical flowers.

The cocktail party and dinner took place back at the Grace Bay Club where family and friends enjoyed a spectacular evening.

Lynne and Mary from Nila Destinations were the event planners that made sure that Melissa and Chris had their perfect destination wedding. Here are some images from their special day.

Chulo, the famous Turks & Caicos french bulldog

A few weeks ago we did a photo shoot with Avril and her French bulldog Chulo. We only showed everybody a preview of this shoot but here are some more images of this incredible dog and his owner. Avril lives here in the Turks & Caicos and  her parents own Sunshine Nursery – they were all so accommodating in helping us with this unique shoot. So if you have pets yourself, we invite you to bring them along to our photo shoots. They add so much fun to our shoots and, after all, they are part of your family. We were extremely spoiled having Chulo as our model because he is just the best – he can ride a surfboard and just loves the water. He even has his own life jacket. Chulo will not make the dog Olympics for swimming but he goes in our books as Turks and Caicos next top dog model. Avril, we know it is your birthday tomorrow so our blog post is just in time. Happy birthday!!
