Amy and Dan’s honeymoon beach shoot.

With Hurricane Joaquin to the north of us stirring up both the waves and bringing in some clouds and rain, a honeymoon beach shoot was always a little in doubt. Amy and I emailed back and forth during the day and the weather started to clear and we were a “GO”. For this lovely couple visiting the Turks and Caicos for the first time (it will not be their last I think) they wanted to keep it really relaxed, so we did a slightly shorter session for them and just focused on the beach at the Seven Stars resort. Only married a couple of weeks ago they were great in front of the camera and we seemed to spend a lot of the time talking about Scuba diving !  As we waited for the sunset and the odd person walking by, the sky became incredible with ever changing colors. Very little photoshop needed last night. WOW Checkout those sunset pictures – very special. Many congrats to you both.Read More »Amy and Dan’s honeymoon beach shoot.

A little romance early in the morning.

It’s been a busy few weeks this summer. So much so that we could only do a photo shoot for Sanjana and Moin on early Sunday morning rather than the more usual late evening and sunset time slot. Did it matter? I think not, in fact shooting early in the AM is actually a lot of fun. First there are less people around the resort and on the beach. People only really started to walk on the beach right at the very end of our shoot. Secondly, the light here in Turks and Caicos is so amazing and shooting in the AM allowed us to play with it. Third and not least – the knocks your socks off color of the water…wow..it never gets old.  Yes we were limited in the shots we could do on the beach due to a little squinting etc but the blue is just fantastic. LOVE these pictures. This was Sanjana and Moin’s first trip to Turks and Caicos. they had a great time staying at the Seven Stars resort. I have a feeling this will not be their last visit 😉

Wedding proposal on Grace Bay Beach

A wedding proposal on Grace Bay Beach is not something we do every week or even every month, yet we’ve had a flurry of proposals over the last ten days ! It all starts with a call or email from the (always slightly nervous) groom to be. Locations? Time of day? How will you recognize me? Where shall I do it?  Zack already had 95% of the plan (and a ring 😉  ) so with a little tweaking for the best beach spot and lighting we had a plan. It was a really fabulous evening as Zack and Hayley walked up the beach. Hayley had no idea this was the moment as I mixed/hid with a few late afternoon guests sitting on the beach. I think they were as excited as anyone! – they did after all have front row seats.  Zack walked passed, made sure he had seen me and then dropped to one knee…..perfect. After going over and saying hello and making introductions, we hung out on the beach as the sun slowly got lower and lower in the sky…then I gave them a quick ride to Coco Bistro…perfect !! Many congratulations to you both.Read More »Wedding proposal on Grace Bay Beach

An intimate wedding at Grace Bay Club Estates.

This was a really fun wedding. Jill and Jared wanted an intimate wedding at Grace Bay Club Estates and they could have gone the route of a quick  hour of pictures on the beach and done. But from the moment we entered the suite at the Grace Bay Club Estates it was clear that this was different. We often get asked by couples if they should do a “first look”. If they should see each other before the wedding so they can then have more time for cocktails or more variety of pictures after the ceremony. Really it’s a personal choice and how you “fit together” as couple. Some brides want  a heap of  bridesmaids, matching robes, almost a sleepover atmosphere whilst some guys want to hang, have a beer and watch football.  Nothing wrong with that. What was fabulous for this wedding was hanging out with Jill and Jared as they got ready together – just the two of them really. They had fun t-shirts, cuff links and shared notes they had written to each other. It was just fabulous to see them helping each other prepare for their upcoming wedding. Great couple. We also then took the two of them around the island as part of our Island Escape Wedding option. We found some great spots and soon had them back in time for Shameka to make sure everything flowed at Grace Bay Club. A few more pictures on the beach and then we left them to enjoy a very relaxing dinner with Jared’s sister and brother-in-law on the beach. Very cool. Makeup by Shenique, Dress by BHLDN.
