The wedding of Joyce & Ethan

A few weeks back we had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of a very fun couple at the beautiful resort of the Palms, Turks & Caicos.

We first met with Joyce and Ethan a few days before their wedding to discuss the last few details and timings for their especial day. I knew right away that this was going to be a great wedding to capture.

The wedding ceremony took place on Grace Bay beach next to the Palms Resort where Joyce and Ethan got ready. Around fifty family members and very close friends made it to the Turks & Caicos Islands to celebrate this special day with the bride and groom.

The wedding reception took place on the croquet lawn where everyone had a blast, especially the small kids who took over the dance floor, making everyone join in!

An underwater trash the dress shoot

I love photographing weddings and families portraits but the “trash” the dress shoot is one of my favorites, especially when we get the change to do underwater photos.

Ewelina and her husband Chris got married at the Seven Stars Resort and they decided to use our services for the “trash” the wedding dress shoot a few days after their wedding.

For the first part of the session we drove early morning to Leeward Beach to get some images with white sand and beautiful turquoise waters that makes the Turks & Caicos so popular.  For the second part we drove to Blue Hills to capture some images at the Conch Shark Restaurant and the old dock.

Smith’s Reef was our final destination for the underwater “trash” the dress. Here are a few images from their photo shoot….

Aaron’s first photo shoot at the Sands Resort

After talking a few times to Ri-Ann  from the Sands Resort concierge about her new beautiful baby Aaron Alexander, we decided it was time to have his first professional photo shoot.

Before doing the shoot we discussed possible locations and finally decided it would take place in the same resort that Ri-Ann works at. Aaron is only for months old so we needed beautiful gardens with plenty of shady areas and the Sands has just that.

Just before sunset we moved to Grace Bay beach to capture mother and son before we ran out of sunlight. We took some great shots with an incredible sunset.

A big Thanks to Ri-Ann and her beutiful son Aaron Alexander Edwin Sutton for posing for our cameras.

one of the best weddings of this year at the Gansevoort

Two weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing one of the best weddings of this year. It was a very small wedding with only ten guests but the decorations and after party were as good as any big weddings I have photographed.

At one point Ariana and Krys were thinking about having their destination wedding in Jamaica or Bora Bora. However, the final decision came down to the photography. They were so impressed with our images that they chose the Turks & Caicos Islands not only for their wedding but also their Honeymoon 🙂

Their wedding took place on October 10th on Grace Bay and the Gansevoort Turks & Caicos was the chosen resort. Picture this…a beautiful ceremony under a driftwood arch, a cocktail party at the resort’s penthouse and a stunning beach set up for the reception. These are a few of many great parts that made up a spectacular day. A spectacular day that ended with a firework celebration on the beach.

The wedding of Kelly & Eric at the Sands Resort

The first time I met with Kelly and Eric was actually a few months before they decided on having their wedding at the Sands Resort. They met with a few of the wedding vendors on island and were very excited to begin planning for the big event. They couldn’t wait for their coming  destination wedding in August 2015.

Just a few months later we met again but this time it was for the big day. Kelly and Eric got ready at the Sands Resort where we did a few photos in the rooms and around the gardens.

The wedding ceremony took place on the beautiful Grace Bay beach, where the happy couple were joined by just over sixty of their best friends and close family members.

The Wedding Reception took place in the sand under a tent on the beach only a few steps away from the island’s beautiful waters. It was just the start of a long awaited celebration and the perfect ending for Kelly and Eric’s wedding day.

The wedding of Aleksa & Mark Miller on Grace Bay

About two weeks ago I had the great opportunity to photograph a beautiful wedding at the end of Grace Bay beach.

After our first meeting with Aleksa and her mum Colleen at Villa Byculla, we knew this was going to be a fun wedding to capture. In addition to the regular photographs to be taken on the day, this bride and groom wanted to do some photos around the island and this is something that we really love doing.

On the wedding day Aleksa and Mark did a first look at their villa and then we drove to one of our favorite beaches on Provo, Leeward beach, to capture some of the amazing turquoise ocean colors.

Blue Hills was our second stop where we did some images around some of the older buildings and colorful sailboats that can be found in this area.

After some driving around the island it was time to get back to Grace Bay where their wedding ceremony began.

The wedding reception took place on the beach near Hemingway’s Restaurant. It was the perfect ending for Aleksa and Mark’s destination wedding.

Here are just a few images from their wedding day….

An underwater maternity Shoot

A few weeks back I had the opportunity to do an underwater maternity shoot with a great couple at the Amanyara Resort.

I have done quite a few underwater trash the dress shoots this wedding season. However, this was one of the very few maternity shoots I have done underwater so I was really looking forward to it.

On the day of the shoot I met with Andrea and Jeff early in the morning at the beautiful Amanyara Resort. First we did some photos around the resort, an outstanding property with some incredible views to the northwest side of Providenciales.

The underwater part of the shoot was incredible, we were very lucky to have a day with flat and crystal clear water plus we had a big school of silver side fish that helped to make some great images.

Here are just a few of my favorite ones ….
