Grace Bay Club wedding: Melodie and Runar

Melodie and Runar’s  Grace Bay Club wedding started off with quite a bit of rain before the actual ceremony began but that didn’t stop this bride and groom and their small wedding party from having a great time getting ready.
Melodie and Runar came all the way from Norway to the beautiful Turks & Caicos to have their destination wedding. From all the many beautiful islands around the world, they knew this was the perfect little spot to celebrate their wedding day.
Their wedding took place on May 10th on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, Grace Bay beach. A very small group of family and friends traveled a long way to celebrate this very special day with the bride and groom.
Even though the afternoon got off to a rather wet start under some big grey clouds, we ended up having one of the best sunsets I have seen this year. It was the perfect ending to this beautiful destination wedding.

Location: Grace Bay Club Resorts. Wedding planners: Shameka Simmons . Hair and Makeup: Sheneque from Sheque Perfection Flowers: Environmental Arts.

A Parrot Cay wedding, Mary and Sean Tabor

Parrot Cay is one of our favourite properties to photograph weddings here in the Turks & Caicos Islands. This exclusive, private island with it’s stunning white sandy beaches takes any wedding event to the next level.
A few weeks ago we had the great pleasure to photograph a stunning wedding at this location. Mary and Sean Tabor knew that Turks & Caicos was the perfect place to celebrate their destination wedding and Parrot Cay Resort could offer everything the couple wanted to have an exclusive and very private affair.
Their wedding ceremony took place on May 7th at the beach just a few feet away from their private villa.  After a lovely ceremony, everyone moved back to the hotel for dinner and then back to the villa for dancing and partying under the stars…a perfect ending for a beautiful wedding.

Wedding planner: Nadia from Parrot Cay resort. Venue: Parrot Cay Resort. Flowers: Environmental Arts.

Ankur first met his Bride-to-be, Arati, whilst they were both on vacation in Turkey. After getting engaged and looking at potential locations for a very small wedding, they decided to elope to the beautiful Turks & Caicos Islands.
On April 23rd, a couple of hours before the wedding, I met with the Bride and Groom at their villa. We took a drive around the island to get some colourful images before heading to meet with with the wedding officiate.
Arati and Ankur wanted to have some images taken with their traditional Indian clothes first and then some with regular beach clothing before getting into their wedding attire.
Their wedding ceremony took place at the end of Grace Bay beach just before sunset.

Hannah and kamau’s trash the wedding dress

Just a day after I photographed the wedding of Hannah and Kamau at the Blue Haven Resort & Marina we met once again but this time was for a ‘trash’ the wedding dress

For the first part of the photo shoot we went for a short drive to Leeward beach were we did a quick few photos and then went to the opposite side of the island looking for clear water for the underwater photos.

When we got to Malcolm’s beach the water wasn’t very calm but it actually made it more fun trying to get some photos of Hannah and Kamau on a bicycle underwater. We first started doing some half and half underwater photos and for the perfect ending we did the full underwater ‘trash’ the wedding dress 🙂

Here are a few images of their ‘trash’ the wedding dress…..

The wedding of Hannah and Kamau at Blue Haven tci

Sometimes the weather in the Turks & Caicos can be a little bit temperamental and this is what happened on April 9th while photographing the wedding of Hannah and Kamau at Blue Haven tci. However, little rain didn’t stop this happy couple from having a beautiful and fun wedding ceremony.

Hannah and Kamau got ready at Blue Haven resort and their wedding ceremony took place a short distance from the beautiful water and the luxurious marina located there. Yes, we had some light rain but that didn’t stop the wedding couple and all their guests from enjoying this very special day.

After some family photos and a few images with the bride and groom around the beach, everyone enjoyed a great evening of food, drinks and dancing at the beautiful Fire and Ice restaurant.

Many thanks to all the following vendors: Location: Blue Haven tci ; Turks and Caicos. Wedding planner;  Shauna Wilson. Flowers by Environmental Arts.  Music: Michael DJ Dayoh.  Makeup by Thea makeupartistry. Hair by Bridget Tangle Hair Salon.

Elopement in Turks and Caicos, Jeanette and Michael.

A few weeks back I had the pleasure of photographing an elopement in Turks and Caicos with Jeanette and Michael Mehall. They both wanted a very laid-back wedding and to have some photos taken around the island before their ceremony.

On April 16th I picked them up at their hotel, The Gansevoort, Turks & Caicos and we went for a very short drive to the beautiful Leeward beach. Blue Hills was our second stop where we did some photos around the older and more colorful buildings you can find there.

We drove back to their hotel around an hour before sunset and from there walked onto Grace Bay beach for ceremony. A beautiful sunset was the perfect ending to their wedding day and also a great backdrop for the final shots.
Here are a few images from their wedding day….
