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….

Turks and Caicos elopement ceremony

Sometimes simplicity works best. Zahiah and Alladdine, a laid-back and adventurous couple from California, had two goals in January: get certified to scuba dive, and get married in a Turks and Caicos elopement ceremony.

After spending a couple of days getting certified with Dive Provo in Providenciales, Zahiah and Alladdine got married at the Royal West Indies. The couple knew one thing for sure: they wanted underwater photos, so they planned their wedding early so they could get underwater photos after. Teresa Brunner from Tropical Destination Management made sure their ceremony was exactly what they envisioned: a quiet, private ceremony for just the two of them.

After their ceremony, we went straight to da Conch Shack in Blue Hills for photos with the rustic, pastel buildings. We then headed down to Malcolm Beach to take some underwater photos, but the water was too rough to get in. Zahiah and Alladdine went with the flow, and it all worked out anyway — the waves breaking over the iron shore proved to be just as stunning as any underwater photos.

Zahiah and Alladdine were one of the most relaxed couples I’ve ever worked with — and they had some fun photo ideas too. A few days after their wedding, we went out for another photo session, but more on that later!

In the meantime, here’s a peek of Zahiah and Alladdine’s wedding day.

Destination wedding at the Gansevoort Turks and Caicos

A few weeks back I had the great pleasure to photograph a beautiful, small destination wedding at the Gansevoort Turks & Caicos Resort.

Samantha and Nick and 19 of their very close family members and friends came to the Turks & Caicos Islands to celebrate an intimate beach wedding ceremony.

Samantha and Nick wanted to have a private and laid-back wedding. After looking at a few possible locations, they decided that the Turks & Caicos Islands was the perfect location – plus Nick is a huge fishing fan, and TCI boasts some of the best fishing in the world.

On June 20th, bride and groom were married on Grace Bay Beach just a few feet away from our stunning turquoise waters. We even had some of our local “potcake” dogs join the cocktail party to see Samantha and Nick have their first dance.

Here are some images from their wedding….

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.

I knew the wedding of Amber and Cristiano was going to be a fun one to photograph when I first met them at the lobby of the Seven Stars resort. A great couple – Amber is from America, Cristiano is from Italy and they now live together in Brazil and met whilst both working for the same company.

Amber and Cristiano wanted to have a fun and relaxed beach wedding and the Turks & Caicos Islands was the perfect location . They had wedding guests coming all the way from Italy, Brazil and the USA!

On October 12th about an hour before sunset Amber and Cristiano had a beautiful beach ceremony just a few feet away from the calm waters of Grace Bay.

Their wedding reception took place at the Seven Stars west deck where everyone enjoyed a great evening under the stars with some entertainment from some of their italian guests!

A big thank you to Laura, the Seven Stars wedding planner, for doing such a great job.

This was the wedding of Zara and Andre, a lovely couple with a beautiful story to tell…

It feels like only yesterday that I first met with Carol-Anne and Christian to shoot their engagement session at the Gansevoort Resort. However, that was almost a year ago! I met Carol-Anne and Christian again but this time it was to photograph their Turks and Caicos destination wedding at the beautiful Somerset Resort. Friends and family came from all over the world to be a part of this special day.

After their beach ceremony everyone enjoyed a cocktail near the resort pool and the reception took place at the Osoleil Restaurant.

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