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.

Engagement shoot in Blue Hills

Just a few days ago I had the opportunity to meet a fun, relaxed couple whose wedding I will be photographing next December 2015 at the Seven Stars Resort.

Inara and Daniel came to the Turks & Caicos for a very short visit to meet with some of the island wedding vendors and to enjoy a quick holiday before heading back home.

As part of their trip they had a meeting with us to discuss some of their wedding ceremony plans. We also took some engagement photos so they had some island memories to share of their trip.

For the photo shoot Inara, wanted to skip Grace Beach Beach and find a spot a bit more secluded with local flavor. We decided that the Blue Hills area was the perfect location for their shoot

Here are a few images from their shoot….

Small destination wedding at the Seven Stars

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to photograph a small destination wedding at the Seven Stars Resort located in the heart of Grace Bay.

Rebecca and Shane were originally planning a very small destination wedding in the Turks & Caicos Islands but in the end some of their closest family members decided to join them to celebrate this very special occasion.

On October 10th Rebecca and Shane celebrated their wedding ceremony on Grace Bay beach just a few feet away form our clear turquoise waters. After a short beach ceremony everyone moved back to the Seven Stars for a few cocktails and dinner.

Rebecca and Shane wanted to have a relaxed, laid back, non-traditional wedding and their only special request was for me to capture some sparkler photos. We created some amazing images.

Here are a few images from their wedding day….

A colorful engagement session in Blue Hills

Most of the engagement sessions we shoot are normally around the Grace Bay area, but Kyle and Seana wanted do something a little different and more colorful. We decided to do their engagement session in Blue Hills – a quiet, laid-back part of the island that gives visitors a glimpse into what the island was like many years ago.

Seana and Kyle came to the Turks & Caicos for a short site visit to meet with some of the island wedding vendors to help them on for their coming destination wedding in March.

As part of their visit, they wanted to do a quick engagement session with us. On the day of the photo shoot, I picked them up at the Gansevoort Resort early in the morning and we made our way to Blue Hills.

During the shoot, we stopped at some of our favorite spots like da Conch Shack, an old dock and the colorful kids park.

Here are a few images from their shoot….

A fun destination wedding at the Alexandra

Sometimes, you only need to spend a few minutes with a wedding couple to know it’s going to be a fun destination wedding to capture. This was my first impression after my first meeting with Lorin and Jabin at their resort.

Lorin and Jabin wanted to have a low-key wedding somewhere in the tropics that’s not too crowded, and after looking around they decided that the Turks & Caicos Islands were the perfect place.

The Alexandra resort located in the heart of Grace Bay was their choice to have their wedding ceremony and a few days of relaxation before heading back home.  Their wedding ceremony took place on September 27 on Grace Bay beach. And a little bit of rain early in the afternoon that didn’t stop everyone from having an awesome time.

Their wedding reception took place on the decks of Mango Reef restaurant.  Alex was the wedding planner and she did a great job coordinating and helping with all the planning before and during their wedding.

Here are a few images from their wedding day….

Turks & Caicos ten year wedding anniversary

A few weeks ago, Amy and Andy Atwood and their two kids came to the Turks & Caicos to celebrate their ten year wedding anniversary. The family came all the way from Canada for their first visit to TCI – a well-deserved holiday in the tropics.

As part of the celebration, they had a very private ceremony on the balcony outside their room with their two kids. The Atwoods booked their session as a beach family portrait.

I met with the family for the first time at The Sands Resort about one hour before sunset.  We started taking some photos around the beautiful lush gardens and before we moved to Grace Bay beach for the last half hour before sunset.

The kids had an awesome time playing with their parents and running on the beach until we almost ran out of sunlight.

Here are some images from their session….

This year has been a busy and great year with destination weddings at the Gansevoort Turks & Caicos.  This beautiful resort located at one of the ends of Grace Bay beach seems to be a popular choice for a lot of couples coming to the Turks & Caicos to get married.

Christy and Gordon wanted to have a small, private wedding, and the Turks and Caicos Islands and Gansevoort Resort met all their needs.

On August 2nd they celebrated their wedding ceremony at Grace Bay Beach, where a small group of family and very close friends came all the way to the islands to celebrate with them.
