Elopement in Turks and Caicos, Jeanette and Michael.

A few weeks back I had the pleasure of photographing an elopement in Turks and Caicos with Jeanette and Michael Mehall. They both wanted a very laid-back wedding and to have some photos taken around the island before their ceremony.

On April 16th I picked them up at their hotel, The Gansevoort, Turks & Caicos and we went for a very short drive to the beautiful Leeward beach. Blue Hills was our second stop where we did some photos around the older and more colorful buildings you can find there.

We drove back to their hotel around an hour before sunset and from there walked onto Grace Bay beach for ceremony. A beautiful sunset was the perfect ending to their wedding day and also a great backdrop for the final shots.
Here are a few images from their wedding day….

Fun Island Escape photo shoot with the Ho family

On March 14th I had the opportunity to meet and to do a fun Island Escape photo shoot with the Ho family.  As this was a photo shoot around the island I first picked everyone up at Grace Bay Club Resort were they were staying and then we went for a short drive to the end of Grace Bay beach.

After Grace Bay we moved to Blue Hills to capture some images around the colorful buildings of the Conch Shack, Sailing Paradise and a beautiful water dock.

For the last part, just around one hour before sunset we drove to the south side of Providenciales were we did some images around the beautiful Taylor Bay beach. This was the  perfect place to end the session as the kids had a blast running and jumping in the water ,plus we had a great sunset.

Here are a few images from the session.

A trash the wedding dress at Grace Bay beach

Just a few days after I photographed the wedding of Kelly and Eric  Band at the Sands Resort we met once again but this time was for a fun ‘trash’ the wedding dress around some of favorite spots on the island.

For the first part of the shoot we went to Leeward beach to capture some images with the newly wedding couple with the amazing turquoise waters and the white sand beaches that the Turks & Caicos are so famous for as the perfect background.

Grace Bay beach was our next stop, here is where Kelly and Eric got to practice some of their underwater skills for the ‘trash’ the wedding dress, and they did an awesome job!

Here are a few images from their morning session…

A family portrait in Blue Hills

A few weeks ago I had the great pleasure to do a fun family portrait in Blue Hills. The Danics family used to live in the Turks & Caicos but moved back to Canada last year. During this visit to the islands, they decided to use a Gift Certificate for one of our photo shoots that they were given as a present before they left.

For their hour session they decided they wanted something a little different than photos on Grace Bay beach. I thought Blue Hills was the perfect location for some colorful photos with more of a rustic background that can be found in this area.

For the first part we took some photos with the small colorful shops at Sailing Paradise and then went next to the Conch Shack where we took some photos with some of the big Casuarina trees.

Here are a few images from their session…….

The wedding at the Seven Stars Resort

I first met Inara and Daniel during a quick engagement shoot in December 2014 in Blue Hills.  It was a very fun session; I got to know them and got a good idea of what their destination wedding was going to be.

Almost a year later after their last visit to the Turks & Caicos we met once again but this time it was to capture their destination wedding. The Seven Stars Resort was the chosen property to celebrate this very important day.

Their wedding ceremony took place on December 5th on the beautiful Grace Bay beach where fifty family members and very close friends came all the way to celebrate with their special day.  Teresa and her team from Tropical DMC did an outstanding job with the planning and preparations for an awesome wedding.

Inara and Daniel’s wedding reception took place on the Seven Stars beach deck where everyone had a blast dancing under the stars. Here are just a few images from their wedding day…
