Destination wedding at the Gansevoort Turks and Caicos

A few weeks back I had the great pleasure to photograph a beautiful, small destination wedding at the Gansevoort Turks & Caicos Resort.

Samantha and Nick and 19 of their very close family members and friends came to the Turks & Caicos Islands to celebrate an intimate beach wedding ceremony.

Samantha and Nick wanted to have a private and laid-back wedding. After looking at a few possible locations, they decided that the Turks & Caicos Islands was the perfect location – plus Nick is a huge fishing fan, and TCI boasts some of the best fishing in the world.

On June 20th, bride and groom were married on Grace Bay Beach just a few feet away from our stunning turquoise waters. We even had some of our local “potcake” dogs join the cocktail party to see Samantha and Nick have their first dance.

Here are some images from their wedding….

underwater wedding photography Turks and Caicos

I remember my first  Turks and Caicos underwater wedding photgraphy – trash the wedding dress shoot like it was yesterday – but it was almost three years ago!

We don’t normally find many wedding couples willing to get completely underwater with their wedding clothes 🙂 but when we do we have a blast.

Capturing Love and Joy in Turks and Caicos: An Underwater Adventure

Turks and Caicos, a paradise of pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters, provides the perfect canvas for capturing beautiful moments. While many choose to tie the knot on these picturesque islands, some adventurous souls opt for unique experiences to make their special day even more unforgettable.

One such memorable adventure unfolded with Johanna and Daniel, a couple whose love story is as unique as their desire to make the most of their destination wedding in the Turks and Caicos.

A Wedding Unlike Any Other

Johanna and Daniel opted for an intimate destination wedding in a private villa, surrounded by the azure waters of the Caribbean. As they celebrated their love with a select few, they decided to extend their joyous occasion with something out of the ordinary.

Diving into Adventure

Just two days after their wedding, the couple embarked on an underwater journey with the talented photographer, ready to create a visual story that would last a lifetime. The chosen location was Northwest Point, a spot renowned for its calm and extraordinarily clear waters, making it the ideal backdrop for their unique post-wedding photoshoot.

With the sun casting a golden glow through the water and the pristine surroundings, the couple dived into the crystal-clear depths, creating a visual masterpiece that showcased their love, happiness, and the beauty of the Turks and Caicos.

Big destination wedding in the Turks & Caicos

After photographing a fun boat trip and a night party at Somewhere restaurant it was time to capture Ashley and Michael’s big destination wedding.

The first time I met Ashely and Michael was a few months back while they were on the island for a few days looking at all the possible vendors and resorts for their upcoming destination wedding in May.

It took lots of planning and organization for this big wedding of over 110 guests, who came from all over the United States to celebrate with the bride and groom and their family members. The special day was May 17th at the beautiful Gansevoort resort, Turks & Caicos.

Teresa and her team from Tropical DMC did a great job planning and coordinating this big event plus all the beautiful decorations making it a very special destination wedding.

Here are a few images from the wedding day….

A fun boat trip before the wedding day

Just a day before before capturing the wedding of Ashley and Michael at the Gansevoort Resort, Anita and I had the opportunity to photograph a fun boat trip before the wedding day with bride and groom, and all their friends, with Caicos Dream Tours.

During the four-hour trip, we fished for conch at Leeward canal, snorkeled the shallow reef of Providenciales’s north shore, and had a beach picnic at Half Moon Bay.

Plentiful beer, rum punch and sunshine ensured everyone had an amazing time before heading back to their resort on Grace Bay Beach.

Here are just a few images from their boat trip…

Wedding at Beaches Turks & Caicos

After my first meeting with Stacey and Jimmy at the French Village, I knew right away that this was going to be a fun wedding to capture at Beaches Turks & Caicos.

Stacey and Jimmy are both divers and knew that they wanted to have their destination wedding somewhere with crystal clear warm water and great diving. The Turks & Caicos Islands was the perfect place.

Their wedding ceremony took place at the all-inclusive Beaches Resort Turks & Caicos with around 18 of their closest family and friends celebrating this very special day with them.

After the ceremony, I took the bride and groom outside their resort to some of the most beautiful beaches you can find on this island.

Just before sunset, Stacey and Tim went in the water for a ‘trash the wedding dress’, a perfect ending for a couple that loves the ocean.

Turks and Caicos trash the wedding dress

After capturing two wedding ceremonies on two different days with Katlyn and Neil, we met once more but this time it was for a very different type of photo shoot; an underwater ‘trash the wedding dress’.

We don’t normally get the chance to capture these types of images very often, but when we do, we love it! Swimming in the crystal clear waters of the Turks & Caicos plus taking underwater photos is just amazing and lots of fun.

For the photo shoot we went to Smith’s Reef near Turtle Cove Marina. The water that day was flat calm and super clear…add to that a good looking couple and you have the perfect combination for some beautiful images!
