one of the best weddings of this year at the Gansevoort

Two weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing one of the best weddings of this year. It was a very small wedding with only ten guests but the decorations and after party were as good as any big weddings I have photographed.

At one point Ariana and Krys were thinking about having their destination wedding in Jamaica or Bora Bora. However, the final decision came down to the photography. They were so impressed with our images that they chose the Turks & Caicos Islands not only for their wedding but also their Honeymoon 🙂

Their wedding took place on October 10th on Grace Bay and the Gansevoort Turks & Caicos was the chosen resort. Picture this…a beautiful ceremony under a driftwood arch, a cocktail party at the resort’s penthouse and a stunning beach set up for the reception. These are a few of many great parts that made up a spectacular day. A spectacular day that ended with a firework celebration on the beach.

The wedding of Kelly & Eric at the Sands Resort

The first time I met with Kelly and Eric was actually a few months before they decided on having their wedding at the Sands Resort. They met with a few of the wedding vendors on island and were very excited to begin planning for the big event. They couldn’t wait for their coming  destination wedding in August 2015.

Just a few months later we met again but this time it was for the big day. Kelly and Eric got ready at the Sands Resort where we did a few photos in the rooms and around the gardens.

The wedding ceremony took place on the beautiful Grace Bay beach, where the happy couple were joined by just over sixty of their best friends and close family members.

The Wedding Reception took place in the sand under a tent on the beach only a few steps away from the island’s beautiful waters. It was just the start of a long awaited celebration and the perfect ending for Kelly and Eric’s wedding day.

The wedding of Aleksa & Mark Miller on Grace Bay

About two weeks ago I had the great opportunity to photograph a beautiful wedding at the end of Grace Bay beach.

After our first meeting with Aleksa and her mum Colleen at Villa Byculla, we knew this was going to be a fun wedding to capture. In addition to the regular photographs to be taken on the day, this bride and groom wanted to do some photos around the island and this is something that we really love doing.

On the wedding day Aleksa and Mark did a first look at their villa and then we drove to one of our favorite beaches on Provo, Leeward beach, to capture some of the amazing turquoise ocean colors.

Blue Hills was our second stop where we did some images around some of the older buildings and colorful sailboats that can be found in this area.

After some driving around the island it was time to get back to Grace Bay where their wedding ceremony began.

The wedding reception took place on the beach near Hemingway’s Restaurant. It was the perfect ending for Aleksa and Mark’s destination wedding.

Here are just a few images from their wedding day….

An underwater maternity Shoot

A few weeks back I had the opportunity to do an underwater maternity shoot with a great couple at the Amanyara Resort.

I have done quite a few underwater trash the dress shoots this wedding season. However, this was one of the very few maternity shoots I have done underwater so I was really looking forward to it.

On the day of the shoot I met with Andrea and Jeff early in the morning at the beautiful Amanyara Resort. First we did some photos around the resort, an outstanding property with some incredible views to the northwest side of Providenciales.

The underwater part of the shoot was incredible, we were very lucky to have a day with flat and crystal clear water plus we had a big school of silver side fish that helped to make some great images.

Here are just a few of my favorite ones ….

Grace & William’s wedding at the Seven Stars

A few weeks ago I was very fortunate to photograph the beautiful destination wedding of Grace and William at the Seven Stars Resort.

Grace and William came to Turks & Caicos a few months back to check the island for the possibility to celebrate their destination wedding here. After looking to a few other Caribbean Islands they decided that Providenciales was the perfect place, plus Grace Bay was even more especial as the name of the bride is Grace.

Their Wedding ceremony took place on Grace Bay beach under a breath taking driftwood arch,  just a few feet away from the very calm turquoise waters these islands have to offer.

Grace and William and their seventeen guest enjoyed of the wedding reception on the Seven Stars beach deck.

Brady & Wlaa’s wedding at the Beach House

Brady and Wlaa’s Wedding was a wedding I was looking forward to photograph on July 4th at the Beach House Resort.

Unfortunately things didn’t start very well for me as the first day we were supposed to meet to chat about their coming wedding  I ended up in the hospital, but that didn’t stop me from being even more enthusiastic about photographing their  big destination wedding.

Brady and Wlaa had planned a wedding full of cool events with with a pretty big group from all over the USA.  I don’t think I remember ever seeing some many people partying and dancing on a wedding, everyone had a blast!

Their wedding ceremony took place on the beautiful Grace Bay beach and after the Maskanoo parade took everyone to the wedding reception.

Kit & Tony’s wedding at the Gansevoort Resort

A few weeks back I had the great pleasure to photograph one of my favorite weddings of the year with a great fun couple at the Gansevoort Resort.

After my first meeting with Kit and Tony a few days before their wedding day I knew that it was going to blast of a destination wedding to capture. Bride and groom had planned lots of fun things to do during their special day.

Kit and Tony chose the beautiful Resort of the Gansevoort Turks & Caicos for their wedding and their ceremony took place at Grace Bay beach. Cocktail party and reception took place at the resort beach deck.

Once it got dark we did some awesome night photos with sparklers and because it was almost a full moon, we were able to capture some beautiful images with Kit and Tony and their wedding arch.

Here are a few images from their wedding day…..
