Beach wedding Caribbean

Turksandcaicos 4546

Wedding at the Sands Resort

After my first meeting with Lanie and Steve at the Sands Resort I knew right away this was going to be a great beach wedding to capture. Lanie and  Steve came all the way from Louisiana to the Turks & Caicos Islands wanting to have a destination wedding on the beautiful Grace Bay beach.

Family and friends had a blast celebrating this very especial day with bride and groom plus having a nice holiday at the same time.

Their wedding ceremony took place on April 10th just a few feet away from the turquoise waters of Grace bay. Cocktail Party and reception were on the upper deck of Hemingway’s Restaurant. A big thanks to Keisha Delancey from Destination TCI for all the wedding  planning and decorations.

Turks and Caicos elopement ceremony

Sometimes simplicity works best. Zahiah and Alladdine, a laid-back and adventurous couple from California, had two goals in January: get certified to scuba dive, and get married in a Turks and Caicos elopement ceremony.

After spending a couple of days getting certified with Dive Provo in Providenciales, Zahiah and Alladdine got married at the Royal West Indies. The couple knew one thing for sure: they wanted underwater photos, so they planned their wedding early so they could get underwater photos after. Teresa Brunner from Tropical Destination Management made sure their ceremony was exactly what they envisioned: a quiet, private ceremony for just the two of them.

After their ceremony, we went straight to da Conch Shack in Blue Hills for photos with the rustic, pastel buildings. We then headed down to Malcolm Beach to take some underwater photos, but the water was too rough to get in. Zahiah and Alladdine went with the flow, and it all worked out anyway — the waves breaking over the iron shore proved to be just as stunning as any underwater photos.

Zahiah and Alladdine were one of the most relaxed couples I’ve ever worked with — and they had some fun photo ideas too. A few days after their wedding, we went out for another photo session, but more on that later!

In the meantime, here’s a peek of Zahiah and Alladdine’s wedding day.

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!

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…..

wedding at the Gansevoort Turks and Caicos

A few weeks ago I had the real pleasure to photograph a beautiful destination wedding at the Gansevoort Turks and Caicos.

Erin and Alex wanted to have a small wedding somewhere in the tropics with beautiful beaches and turquoise waters, and the Turks & Caicos Islands were the perfect location for them.

For their wedding day bride and groom decided to have their ceremony on Grace Bay beach , just next to the Gansevoort resort where they were staying.  After a fifteen minute ceremony and some photos everyone had a very relaxed dinner and cocktails on the beach with the stars and the ocean as an idyllic background

Teresa and her team from Tropical DMC did all the planning and decorations for the ceremony and reception. Here are a few photos from Erin and Alex’s wedding day…..

Destination wedding at the Sands resort

Many congratulations to a wonderful couple, Lisa and Kevin, who celebrated their destination wedding at the Sands resort with both their families and plenty of very close friends.

Lisa and Kevin wanted to have a fun and relaxed wedding, and Grace Bay beach was the perfect spot to celebrate their union. Unfortunately we had some rain during the ceremony, but this didn’t stop the bride and groom and their wedding guests from having an awesome time. We had some soaking wet guests by the end of the ceremony, but everyone was laughing and just happy to be part of Lisa and Kevin’s beautiful wedding.

The wedding reception took place at the beach just a few yards away from their resort were Kissing Fish catering made sure that everyone had a great time and some great food too. Dancing on bare feet under the stars with a bonfire was the perfect ending for their long planned destination wedding in the Turks & Caicos.

Parrot cay elopement

Wendy and Michael’s Parrot Cay Elopement

We don’t hide the fact that Parrot Cay is a special place for us. As scuba divers 20 years ago we used to wonder and what the “mothballed” red roofed hotel nestled on the hill high above the beach was really like. Then several years ago Como hotels bought the island and turned it into what can only be called a magical place. Helping with Wendy and Michael’s Parrot Cay Elopement last week was yet again a fun visit to the island and a delight to help them with their special day.Read More »Wendy and Michael’s Parrot Cay Elopement
