Turks & Caicos as the place for their destination wedding

Mark and Anna were engaged here in the islands last year, so it wasn’t hard to choose the Turks & Caicos as the place for their destination wedding this past January.

Before their ceremony at the Sands resort, Mark and Anna decided to do something a little different. Rather than getting photos of the two getting ready, they opted to have a “first look” photo shoot.

Once they were dressed in their wedding attire, Mark and Anna went back to the place where got engaged – Pelican Beach in Leeward. There, they got to see each other for the first time before their ceremony and share a quiet, private moment before the festivities would begin.

Anna’s sister couldn’t be at the wedding, so her brother was on double-duty – he played not only groomsman, but bridesmaid as well. After the ceremony, Mark and Anna had their reception at Hemingway’s restaurant. They ended the night the right way for a January night in the Caribbean – a bonfire on the beach.

Many congratulations to Mark and Anna – it was a pleasure sharing your wedding day with you!

Alexa and Ben’s musical wedding at the Beach House.

Alexa and Ben’s wedding at the Beach House was a fantastic wedding. Whilst every wedding we do is special, for us  when we have the opportunity to collaborate with other artists it’s just an awesome “vibe” and helps us raise our creativity even more. Being from Nashville, TN was a clue that this would be a “musical” wedding, but we were completely blown away by the talent we experienced not to mention the chicken and gorilla on the dancefloor! Bravo ! Oh and the dress…OMG. Kudos to NILA for helping create another fab event.

First wedding of the year in the Turks & Caicos

A year after Nicole and Erik got engaged here on Grace Bay Beach, they became husband and wife on the perfect day for new beginnings: New Year’s Day, marking the first wedding of the year in the Turks and Caicos.

In 2013, the week before New Year’s, Nicole and Erik were on holiday from Boston when he decided to pop the question with a little help from a conch shell, a national symbol for the Turks and Caicos. Erik placed the ring inside a shell on the beach when Nicole wasn’t looking, then casually picked it up as they walked along the shore. Nicole saw the ring and assumed it had been left for someone else, so she urged Erik to put it back. Little did she know the ring belonged to her, if she said yes. And she did.

And so Providenciales became an important part of their love story. Nicole and Erik decided to tie the knot on the tiny island where they decided to make the ultimate commitment to each other.

The couple originally planned to have their ceremony at a villa, but plans fell through and they thought they’d have to postpone the wedding. But it was a blessing in disguise, as Sibonne came through after a last-minute cancellation. And it couldn’t have been a more perfect place for Nicole and Erik to say “I do” in front of their friends and family.

The wedding was organized by Island Harmony and catered by Bay Bistro. After a small ceremony on the beach, the newlyweds and their guests lit paper wish lanterns to send off into the sky. And an occasion as special and joyous as Nicole and Erik’s wedding could only end one way: dancing on the beach.

Fun destination wedding at The Seven Stars Resort

The first time Anita and I met with Angie and Christopher was a few months before their wedding day.  After a short meeting to talk about their wedding plans, we knew this was going to be a fun wedding to capture.

As part of their wedding week we got to capture a beach bonfire, beach barbecue and the big wedding day on December 13th.  For the wedding week, they chose the beautiful Seven Stars resort located in the heart of Grace Bay.

Before the start of the ceremony Angie and Christopher planned to have a private ‘first look’ at the resort garden, something that Anita and I love to photograph. After a short ceremony at Grace Bay beach everyone moved to the cocktail party. It was the start of a long fun night with lots of dancing and a photo booth, which created some funny moments.

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

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 !
