Liz & Chris’s wedding at West Bay Club

Liz and Chris always wanted to do a destination wedding. After searching around a few different islands, they found the perfect destination – the Turks & Caicos Islands. A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing their wedding at West Bay Club.

Now managed by the Grace Bay Club, West Bay Club is located at the quieter end of Grace Bay, making it the perfect location for a beach wedding.

So at just a stone’s throw from the resort, Liz and Chris celebrated their marriage ceremony on one of the world’s most beautiful beaches and following a few cocktails at the beach bar, they moved back into the resort for the wedding reception.
It was a fun night with great people and lots of dancing and laughter. At the end of the evening, everyone moved back onto the beach to watch a fire dancer performing in the sand.

Here are some images from the session…

The Magnier family portrait at Point Grace

I last did a photo shoot with the Magnier family just a few months before their son Ludovic was born. During that shoot, I took some fun photos of Sylvie trying to hear her baby brother in her mum’s belly, without much success. Last week we met again for another family session and this time it was with the new family member, baby Ludovic. For this session we decided to meet at Point Grace. This little boutique resort located in Grace Bay has some beautiful gardens that are great for family photos before heading down to the beach. This session was particularly special because one set of grandparents were able to join in on the fun. We ended the afternoon near the beach dunes with a beautiful view of the sunset. Here are some images from their family session… Read More »The Magnier family portrait at Point Grace

Ashley & Michael Turks & Caicos enagement

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing a very fun and friendly couple, Ashley and Michael from New York.

Ashley and Michael came to the Turks & Caicos looking for the perfect resort and local venders to help them plan their destination wedding for next year. As part of their visit, they came to meet with us at our photo studio where we decided to do a quick engagement session around our beautiful island of Providenciales.

First we took pictures at a couple of my favorite spots in Blue Hills then we ended our session at the beautiful beach of Sapodilla Bay.

The photos were not just of Ashley and Michael though – they brought their cute dog along to the session. He had an awesome time swimming in the water, running on the beach and playing with a ball!

I look forward to shooting Ashley and Michael’s wedding next year.
Here some images from their session….

The wedding of Melissa & Chris at Grace Bay Club

Choosing the right island and resort to celebrate your destination wedding can be a hard task, especially with so many beautiful places to choose from.

Melissa and Chris came to the Turks & Caicos a few months ago looking for that perfect place and they found it. They fell in love with our beautiful islands surrounded by crystal clear turquoise waters.

After visiting a few resorts around the island of Providenciales, they finally decided that Grace Bay Club resort was the one for them.

On November 16th Melissa and Chris got married on Grace Bay beach under an incredible wedding arch made of drift wood, covered with beautiful tropical flowers.

The cocktail party and dinner took place back at the Grace Bay Club where family and friends enjoyed a spectacular evening.

Lynne and Mary from Nila Destinations were the event planners that made sure that Melissa and Chris had their perfect destination wedding. Here are some images from their special day.

Chulo, the famous Turks & Caicos french bulldog

A few weeks ago we did a photo shoot with Avril and her French bulldog Chulo. We only showed everybody a preview of this shoot but here are some more images of this incredible dog and his owner. Avril lives here in the Turks & Caicos and  her parents own Sunshine Nursery – they were all so accommodating in helping us with this unique shoot. So if you have pets yourself, we invite you to bring them along to our photo shoots. They add so much fun to our shoots and, after all, they are part of your family. We were extremely spoiled having Chulo as our model because he is just the best – he can ride a surfboard and just loves the water. He even has his own life jacket. Chulo will not make the dog Olympics for swimming but he goes in our books as Turks and Caicos next top dog model. Avril, we know it is your birthday tomorrow so our blog post is just in time. Happy birthday!!

A fun Turks & Caicos family portrait

One of the many things I love about doing photo shoots here on the Turks & Caicos is that we get the chance to meet people from all over the world.

About a week I ago I had the pleasure to do a beach portrait session with a family from British Columbia.

The Modde family were staying at Beaches Turks & Caicos.  Because they wanted to get some photos taken outside their resort they decided to book one of our Beach Escape sessions.

During the two hour shoot we went to couple of my favorite spots to take photos here in Providenciales – Blue Hills and Sapodilla Bay.

The kids had a great time playing with conch shells, petting “potcakes” and running in the shallow waters of Sapodilla Bay beach.

Here are some images from their Turks & Caicos family shoot….

The Caribbean wedding of Ka-Lee & Josh

Ka-Lee and Josh had only been engaged for a few months when they decided to get their Caribbean wedding in the Turks and Caicos. Apart from Josh’s parents, it was mostly friends that the couple have met here on the island that attended the ceremony. Ka-Lee and Josh plan to have a big wedding here next year to celebrate with their family members.

The wedding took place at a private residence in Leeward next to one of the most stunning beaches you will find in Providenciales.

After a short beach ceremony, everyone enjoyed a beautiful sunset with a glass of champagne. This was just the start of a fun night in the company of great island friends.
