An intimate wedding for two at Beaches Turks & Caicos

Last week I had the pleasure of photographing the intimate wedding of a great couple at Beaches Turks & Caicos.

Amanda and Matt, who have been together for twelve years, knew they wanted to have a destination wedding somewhere in the tropics and for them, the Turks & Caicos Islands was the perfect location.

Their wedding ceremony took place at the Beaches Resort just a few feet away from the beautiful Grace Bay beach.

Amanda and James wanted to do something a little different and less formal for their wedding photos. So, after their ceremony, I took them to a very secluded beach for a few photos and then we went to one of the best spots on Grace Bay, Smiths Reef, where we ended the session with some underwater ‘trash the wedding dress’ photos 🙂

Fun family shoot at the Tuscany Resort

We love capturing family shoots at the beach, especially when the kids just want to have fun playing with their parents and running around near the water.

About a week ago, I met with the DiSanto family at the beautiful resort of The Tuscany just an hour before sunset.

As it was still quite bright we decided to start by taking photos around the lush tropical gardens of the resort.

The super fun part was on the beach, where the family had a blast walking, running and playing in the sand until we ran out of sun light!

Here are some highlights from their family shoot at the Tuscany Resort….

A private destination wedding for two at Grace Bay Club

Not every destination wedding we photograph in the Turks & Caicos is a big wedding, sometimes we have the opportunity to capture small private weddings with just the Bride and Groom.

Stacey and Bryan came to the Turks & Caicos to celebrate their wedding. They wanted something simple and very relaxed so they decided to do it without a wedding party and had a beautiful beach ceremony, just the two of them.

On February 14th I met with Stacey and Bryan at the Grace Bay Club Resort where they were staying and we began by taking photos around the beautiful gardens.

For their ceremony we moved to Grace Bay beach where Stacey and Bryan made their vows against a perfect backdrop of sand, sea and sunny blue sky.

Here are some images from their wedding…..

Planning a destination wedding in Turks & Caicos

Stacey and Brian and her parents came to the islands looking for a hotel and vendors to help them with planning their future destination wedding in the Turks & Caicos for July this year.

During their short stay on the island they visit a few hotels but they felt that the Somerset Resort in Grace Bay will be the perfect one for their wedding.

Stacy and Brian will have around 30 guests coming to the Turks and Caicos to celebrate their wedding and to enjoy of a great vacation at the same time.

Last week Anita and I had the great pleasure to meet with Stacey and Brian and her parents for the first time at our office. As part of the meeting with us we had time to do a quick engagement session.

Just about thirty minutes before sunset we went to Leeward beach were did some photos with future bride an groom in on of my favorite beaches in Provo. Stacey and Bryan had fun time during the session, especially practicing  doing a “dipping” 🙂

wedding anniversary in the Turks and Caicos

A wedding anniversary is always a very special occasion but celebrating 50 years of beautiful marriage is really something! And what better way to celebrate than coming to the Turks and Caicos islands with your family, which is what Connie and Rodney did.

On January 31st Craig and I met with the family at The Sands resort. Over the next hour we captured some photos around the beautiful resort gardens and then we moved to Grace Bay beach to catch the last few minutes before sunset.

Here are some highlights from the wedding anniversary photo shoot…..

Yiding & Ben’s wedding at the Regent Palms

The Regent Palms is one of my favorite resorts in Grace Bay to capture weddings. It’s beautiful architecture and lush gardens makes it a great location for photography.

Yiding and Ben fell in love with the Regent Palms and decided that this resort and the Turks & Caicos Islands were the perfect combination for their destination wedding.

Their wedding ceremony took place on Grace Bay Beach on November 24th.  After a lot of planning and waiting for this day it was finally here.

Yiding and Ben had family and friends coming from a long way to celebrate with them, they even had guests all the way from China.

Their wedding reception took place on the lower pool deck of the Regent Palms. This is a beautiful spot with a big dance floor that got a lot of use that night as everyone ended the day having a blast!

Lynn from Nila Destinations was the wedding planner for this very special occasion.

Here are some images from their wedding…..

A fun family afternoon at Point Grace.

A fun family afternoon at Point Grace.

The holidays are always a time for families. Over the last few weeks we’ve had the pleasure of helping the Magnier’s with two lovely family photo shoots. Both shoots were at the  Point Grace Resort & Spa  which is one of our favourite resorts.  This time we had Erica’s family and they wanted to spend a little more time at the beach, but we still did some photos around the beautiful gardens of Point Grace. The time at the resort gives the little ones time to relax and get to know us and get into the ‘groove” of having pictures taken. However having helped the Magniers with so many previous shoots – they almost feel like family anyway!

For the last thirty minutes before sunset we moved to Grace Bay beach where Sylvie and her brother Ludovic enjoyed playing and posing with their family.

Here are some images from their family session….
