On island we call it "Island Fever", the need to escape this enchanted "rock" and see the world. So it's time for a cure, aka VACATION! Mom, dad, friends and family are waiting for me in Italy and France and I simply can't wait to land in Milan.
If my blog is not updated for the next 3 weeks, or if the replies to my emails are not as efficient as usual, please excuse me, I'll be "recharging the batteries" and have a blast in Europe. Take care, I'll be back soon!
Love is in the air and the wedding bells are ringing: this it the 3rd engagement session I'm posting on the blog this week :-)
From Vegas, to San Francisco and all the way to the Gansevoort Turks and Caicos: Quynh and Kevin's story is pinning its landmarks. Between a picture and the other, I love to hear how they met each other, their wedding vision, the dreams that soon will become reality.
On revealing word: purple.
Kiatana and Dekkel will be exchanging their I-d0's on August 2015 - the wedding will be an elegant, sophisticated, big affair shared with family and friends (narrowing down the guests list will be the biggest challenge!). While he is studying business in London, she is working in Provo, but the long-distance makes their relationship stronger every day and the wedding planning even more exciting. For their engagement session, they chose a vintage feel and the beautiful settings of the Regent Grand, Turks & Caicos: bow-tie, suspenders, wedges and a retro toning... "forget the beach, we are born here". Â
Marissa and Sal have been together for over a decade: their life story is full wonderful moments, lots or romance, family values, the beauties and struggles of two teenager daughters. Writing the history in a less traditional style, they finally got engaged and they will soon be married.
To celebrate their love and remember their Turks and Caicos vacation forever, we created a collection of engagement / family pictures, at The Somerset Resort in Grace Bay. Life & Love. Captured.
A beautiful, romantic, unforgettable wedding, but also a family reunion, a birthday party, a beach BBQ, a sunny vacation full of activities and surprises. Bonnie and Pete planned a real wedding bash, spoiling their guests with the best of the Turks and Caicos. Venue: Mother's House, on Babalua Beach, Providenciales; Wedding Planner: Trail Enterprises - well done Latrivia!; Flowers: Environmental Arts; Makeup artist: Ann, Beauty and the Beach; Hair dresser: Caroline, Maxime le Salon.
Happily Ever After starts here - beautiful Weddings at The Sands on Grace Bay, Turks and Caicos.
A earthly wonder of sand and sea meet at The Sands, a luxury resort nestled on the world famous Grace Bay Beach on Providenciales. Experience the essence of the Caribbean as you say your vows on a powdery white sand beach while overlooking turquoise while bathed in cooling tropical trade winds. Romantic, fun, stress-free, beautiful, unique beach destination weddings.
Dream, plan, fly to the Turks & Caicos and get married.
The Story of how you proposed will be told to friends and family for the rest of your lives (no pressure!). A shining diamond in the pocket, a luggage full of choice to match her outfit, a private and romantic dinner setting on the beach, a hidden photographer, a fast biting heart... Ryan was fully prepared and excited to get down on a knee and pop the question. And Elizabeth said "yes"of course! I loved to capture this special moment, as well as the engagement pictures that followed the proposal. A special thank you goes to: Debbie, Ryan's mom, for choosing Attimi Photography ; Kristi from Inspirato, the vacation manager; two beautiful guests of the Somerset resort, for kindly hanging out with me and "hide my presence" (p.s.: they were so excited to be the secret witnesses of this unforgettable marriage proposal).
Alesha is 6 feet tall: a tough cookie in the skin of a supermodel. For most of her life she thought that the man of her dream could not be a short nobody, easy to beat at basketball and with a weak personality. The she found Andy: smart, interesting, challenging, handsome and 7 feet tall. And the rest is history... Their beautiful wedding, perfectly planned by the Island Harmony team, took place on the pristine beach of The Sands Resort, Turks and Caicos. I LOVED the vibrant theme colour: red, just like Attimi :-)
The countdown has started: in 53 days Rostra and Marcus will get married at the luxury Windsong Resort, Providenciales, Turks and Caicos. Their families members would have preferred a ceremony in Trinidad, their native island, simply because they don't know what 's on for them yet. Even the sun decided to hide behind the clouds during their beautiful couple photo session, to don't spoil the surprise and make sure the colours of the ocean will mesmerise everyone ;-)
I often think that I have the best job in the world: I'm a wedding photographer and I capture stunning events, I'm a portrait photographer and I capture smiling happy people, I'm story teller, a date planner and an experience maker. Producing beautiful images and doing my best to create an unforgettable experience is a must. So when Delsie cried while looking at my pictures on the back of the camera, when she spontaneously hugged me and thanked my forever, I "touched the moon with my finger", feeling so happy and completely in love with my job. Thank you so much to Delsie, Cary, Benjamin and Victoria for being so wonderful.
