"Our story is simple…we met at a bar and quickly fell in love. We’ve spent the last 9 years bringing the best out of each and being grateful that fate brought us together.
Our wedding in Turks & Caicos was incredibly special and personal for us both!
We are soul mates and together there is nothing that we can’t accomplish." - Sam.
December: when snow, storms and freezing temperatures affect most of the Northern hemisphere, in the Turks and Caicos Islands the sun shines hot and bright. Last Saturday, when Anna and Frank exchanged their wedding vows on the world acclaimed Grace Bay beach, a feel-like-summer-day blessed their marriage.
Joined by the closest family members and dearest friends, the beautiful couple chose to host their wedding at the Alexandra Resort on Grace Bay, part of the all-inclusive Turks & Caicos Collection. A quick ceremony, a toes-in-the-sand cocktail party and a private reception on the beach deck = the perfect destination wedding.
You searched and saved to find the perfect gown for a long time. As much as you love it, one question lingers... what will become of the dress after the wedding? Keep scrolling down to read 8 great ideas suggested by Loverly.
But first, the fun fact: Kristy and Anthony choose #8, Trash it! To keep things simple, the gorgeous couple preferred the all-inclusive formula offered by Beaches Turks and Caicos for their vacation and wedding day. But the cookie-cutter photos taken by the resort photographer were just not enough. They heard about the "Trash the Dress Queen" and contacted me ;-)
Playful, fun, sexy are the words that Kristi used to describe the photos she was looking for. Getting the wedding dress sandy and soaked in the Turks and Caicos water was so worth it!
Most couples travelling to the Turks and Caicos to get married choose a beach ceremony, just a few steps away from the ocean. Agnes and Mark preferred to bless their wedding with a religious ceremony at Our Lady of Divine Providence Provo's Catholic Church. Rev. Luis Orlando González celebrated the Mass, accompanied by the amazing voices of the church singers.
Agnes’ wedding dress was absolutely gorgeous as was the bride herself. Not forgetting to mention the Badgley Mischkas heels, that she wore with grace and elegance. The wedding colours, ivory, cream and a little touch of green, added a personal touch to this intimate wedding.
I loved every minute of this intimate Wedding at The Sands on Grace Bay, Turks and Caicos.The stunning and sweet couple, Qing and Danny, the original ceremony celebrated by the groom's grandfather, the lovely and supportive family members, the gorgeous sunset and, above all, the love-filled atmosphere - so pure, you could almost grab it.
Qing and Danny met approximately 7 years ago at the Castleton Square Mall in Indianapolis. When he first saw her, he wished he had someone like her in his life...and here we are today. Married, happy, more in love then ever and looking forward for a long happy life together.
A wedding and marriage is about two people, not everyone else, and an elopement is truly about two people alone. It gives the couple the opportunity to focus their full attention, free from distraction, and to be entirely in the moment with one another.
Pam and Bobby did it right, eloping to the Turks and Caicos Islands. They booked the modern Sea Edge Villa, part of a trio of the beautifully designed Villas at Grace Bay, and enjoyed every minute of their vacation / wedding / honeymoon / winter escape.
I felt very connected to the couple as, during the booking process, I was able to share some island tips and suggest some of my favorite people to work with. Pastor Padmore, the most charismatic and fun pastor on island, celebrated the legal ceremony; Shenique, at Sheque Perfection, enhanced Pam's beauty with soft makeup and elegant hair updo; Ernst, at Flowers by EA, created the stunning bouquet and boutonniere.
Grab a coffee, a cocktail or an ice cream, sit down, breath and indulge in few minutes of relax while scrolling through the photos of this beautiful wedding, at Longshot Farm, Clover, North Carolina.
I specialize in Turks & Caicos Weddings & Portrait but, when my friends Jack and Diane invited me to their fantastic farm to capture their nephew's wedding, I immediately jumped at the amazing opportunity. I've been dreaming of photographing a wedding with rolling hills, big trees and a horse carriage for years! Nervous - a little, excited - a lot, happy - like a kid in a candy store.
But let's focus on the most important people of this special day: Kelsi and Austin. The couple met at the Holy Family University in October 2014. They dated for about three years and, on a magical Thanksgiving Eve, Austin proposed at Peddler's Village, a very special place for both of them. They are sweet, fun, gorgeous, genuine, full of joy and positive energy - perfect for each other.
This is the wedding story of Denyonne and Cary: a beautiful wedding at The Palms Turks and Caicos. There is so much to tell about it that I'm lost for words.
Let's start from the stunning location, The Palms on Grace Bay: in the heart of the #1 beach in the world (TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice 2018), The Palms is an exquisite 72-suite resort spanning 12 acres. Where wedding dreams really do come true…
The details: Mrs Vera, the bride' step mom, personalised the wedding by creating most of the decoration, from the table settings to the bridesmaids bouquets, the ceremony details, the bride' shoes and the guests "book".
"Just received our wedding book last night! It is amazing and so beautiful! I cannot thank you enough for capturing such a special moment and doing it so well! I am so glad to have been able to work with you! Thank you for everything !!!!" - Tiffany.
And that's why I love my job! When I'm able to deliver an elegant Turks and Caicos Wedding Coffee-Table Book, I can proudly said "mission accomplished". Somehow people have been brainwashed into believing that digital files are the best option when, in fact, they are not.  Digital images are a temporary method of storage: all too many things can go wrong with digital media leaving you in a lurch with a ton of images that were never printed; images that will never be displayed in your beautiful home; images that will never be archived and made permanent.
The magic of a Coffee-Table Book unfolds at every page. Imagine the difference between scrolling thought a collection of photos appearing on a screen and opening a gorgeous wedding album with thick pages, a leather bound cover, an elegant box that holds your best wedding memories...
I just Googled "Destination Wedding" and page after page I found articles of the latest romantic comedy directed by Victor Levin. This blog post has absolutely nothing to do it, it's the real, heartfelt, beautiful special day of Citlani and Sal, a true Destination Wedding at Windsong Resort | Turks and Caicos. Their love story started 15 years ago, when the bride sister introduced the now newlyweds. A sweet daughter, lots of adventures, great time, ups and downs later, they chose to travel to Provo to pronounce their wedding vows on the one and only Grace Bay Beach.
