Being barefoot, wearing only shorts and t-shirts, having a fabulous day even when it's grey and windy, forgetting traffic, chaos, stress... that's the Turks and Caicos lifestyle! Lorena, Mariano and their gorgeous 3 kids left Argentina and found a new, sunny home on island, enjoying every minute of it.
Lorena's Facebook is full of pictures of her amazing children: she knows the value of those irreplaceable moments... but she can't always be on the other side of the camera, right?!?
The latest trend in wedding photography is the "trash the dress" shoot however, when the gown is too precious for the bride, there is no reason to spoil it. Anna, Nick and I took a tour around the island to create a collection of colourful images that will complete their wedding album. A Turks and Caicos experience is sunny, fun, vibrant, wild and so worth living it.
Venue: Seven Stars on Grace Bay, Providenciales, Turks and Caicos
Wedding coordinator: Laura Staniforth
Hair and make-up: Shenique, by Sheque Perfection
The Couple: Anna & Nick - gorgeous, sweet, caring... just perfect!
Between a sunrise and a sunset shoot I had the time to send emails, edit pictures, make phone call and randomly surf the internet... my "attentive" research found something very interesting, to read carefully ;-)
I thought we scheduled a meeting to chat about the wedding; they thought we were going to take some pictures; we combined our plans and quickly set up impromptu engagement session while finalising the details for the big day.
I can't wait for Claire and Abdon's wedding day at the Regent Palms, Turks and Caicos: beautiful, easy going, fun and magically in love - and I'm the lucky wedding photographer :)
Planning a wedding is not easy: the guests list is longer then expected, the venue is not available for months, the decorations are expensive and complicated... to escape the stress and the headaches, Veronika and Chad reviewed their original plan and chose an intimate and simple destination wedding in the Turks and Caicos. With mom and dad next to them, a lot of love and the desire to spend a few relaxing days in the sun, the couple transformed a "crazy idea" into reality.
Alex (daddy) thinks his girls are the most beautiful kids in the world; Valerie (mommy) simply adores them and already took thousands of pictures of her "top models". As for me... it was love at first site: how can you resist Charlotte and Juliette's cute faces?!?
I truly had a blast playing capturing a morning of their Turks and Caicos vacation.
The countdown is almost over: in 43 days Delcean and Vaughn will get married. A local wedding is rarely small or simple and the preparation takes lot of time and energy - an engagement session is part of the process, but luckily it's fun, romantic and just for the couple.
Delcean asked for a collection of pictures with a retro feel and I found my inspiration at Point Grace: the elegant Roll Royce is probably the only vintage element of the island...
649Business is the latest magazine of the Turks and Caicos - the editors aim to provide cutting edge articles on investment, finances, technology and many more interesting areas, providing an inside look at the economy and industry of The Islands.
Taking the picture of Ramez Hakoura for the front cover of the magazine's first edition has been a privilege and an honour. The combination of light and shadows (carefully planned) allowed me to capture a beautiful portrait of Ramez, featuring his entrepreneur person as well as a mysterious side - he likes to play with tigers and, on the animal planet, he would be a wolf...
Pam (mom) is beautiful; Amiya and Rayna (4 and 6 months old girls) are adorable; Jimmi (dad) truly deserve a nomination for his patience and commitment - no matter how long he had to wait to be featured in the  picture, or how hard he had to try convincing Amiya to cooperate, he just didn't give up. Every effort was worth it and the family vacation at the Regent Grand, Turks and Caicos, will now be forever remembered.
