Grace & William’s wedding at the Seven Stars

A few weeks ago I was very fortunate to photograph the beautiful destination wedding of Grace and William at the Seven Stars Resort.

Grace and William came to Turks & Caicos a few months back to check the island for the possibility to celebrate their destination wedding here. After looking to a few other Caribbean Islands they decided that Providenciales was the perfect place, plus Grace Bay was even more especial as the name of the bride is Grace.

Their Wedding ceremony took place on Grace Bay beach under a breath taking driftwood arch,  just a few feet away from the very calm turquoise waters these islands have to offer.

Grace and William and their seventeen guest enjoyed of the wedding reception on the Seven Stars beach deck.

Brady & Wlaa’s wedding at the Beach House

Brady and Wlaa’s Wedding was a wedding I was looking forward to photograph on July 4th at the Beach House Resort.

Unfortunately things didn’t start very well for me as the first day we were supposed to meet to chat about their coming wedding  I ended up in the hospital, but that didn’t stop me from being even more enthusiastic about photographing their  big destination wedding.

Brady and Wlaa had planned a wedding full of cool events with with a pretty big group from all over the USA.  I don’t think I remember ever seeing some many people partying and dancing on a wedding, everyone had a blast!

Their wedding ceremony took place on the beautiful Grace Bay beach and after the Maskanoo parade took everyone to the wedding reception.

Kit & Tony’s wedding at the Gansevoort Resort

A few weeks back I had the great pleasure to photograph one of my favorite weddings of the year with a great fun couple at the Gansevoort Resort.

After my first meeting with Kit and Tony a few days before their wedding day I knew that it was going to blast of a destination wedding to capture. Bride and groom had planned lots of fun things to do during their special day.

Kit and Tony chose the beautiful Resort of the Gansevoort Turks & Caicos for their wedding and their ceremony took place at Grace Bay beach. Cocktail party and reception took place at the resort beach deck.

Once it got dark we did some awesome night photos with sparklers and because it was almost a full moon, we were able to capture some beautiful images with Kit and Tony and their wedding arch.

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

An awesome wedding at the Beach House

A few weeks back I had the opportunity to photograph an awesome wedding at the Beach House Resort.

Andrea and Peter had planned a few activities with their family and friends before and during the wedding.  The first day we met was at the Conch Shack where bride and groom and all their wedding guest enjoyed of a beach dinner and some of the best rum punch on the island.

On their wedding day Peter got ready at Villa del Mar, and Andra at the Beach House Resort where their wedding ceremony was taking place. Their ceremony was at Grace Bay beach just a few feet away from our beautiful turquoise waters.

Their Cocktail party and reception took place at the hotel beach deck where everyone enjoyed some great food, lots of dancing under the stars together with some traditional Greek music.

Here are some highlights from their wedding day….

Kristin and Emmanuel’s wedding at the Somerset

Kristin and Emmanuel were married in May at one of the most photogenic hotels in the Turks and Caicos — the Somerset.

The exquisite architecture and lush gardens make the Somerset one of our favorite places to shoot weddings. And Kristin and Emmanuel clearly agreed.

The bride and groom both work in the medical industry in New Jersey. Kristin is a nurse, and Emmanuel is an anesthesiologist, but for them it’s more than work — it’s what brought them together. Once coworkers, they’re now husband and wife.

Kristin and Emmanuel wanted to share their big day with their family and close friends, and they have plenty of them, with a wedding party of 14 (seven bridesmaids and seven groomsmen). And they attracted another friend as we took photos on the beach. A potcake (the mixed-breed dogs that live here in the Turks and Caicos and the Bahamas) decided to join the photoshoot, making sure to get in as many photos as possible. Photobombed by a potcake!

Many congratulations to Kristin and Emmanuel. We hope to see you both here in Turks and Caicos again soon.

The Magnier Family portrait at Blue Haven Resort

The Magnier family is probably one of our favorite resident families that we photograph almost every year here in the Turks & Caicos Islands. Because we have done a few photos shoots with them over the years, it’s great to see their kids grow up and change, and to have the opportunity to capture a lifetime of memories.

I met with them a few weeks ago to do their photos again, but this time was very special as they were celebrating Pierre’s birthday with a huge party at Blue Heaven Resort.

Because the party was going to start early in the afternoon, we decided to do their family shoot at 3pm. This time of the day is usually very hot and bright at the beach, but Blue Haven Resort has some lovely shady areas that worked perfectly for us.  Toward the end of the photoshoot, we moved to the beach at the resort.

Here are a few images from the family session….
