A change of plans is the theme of most weddings this year. When the big event in Belize had to be revised, Christian and Steve had to find a new location.... "where shall we get married"? Destination TCI it is! Yes, because the Turks and Caicos are easily accessible from the States (even if you come all the way from California), the summer temperature is guaranteed all year around, and the beaches are among the best in the world.
The day passed by in a blink of an eye, but I'm sure they will never forget about it.
Stacy and Wyatt's beautiful Grace Bay Wedding it's all about love and family. The unconditional, breathtaking, always-and-forever love of the couple, and the caring, affectionate, supportive love of the family. Both set of parents walked down the bride & groom on the sandy aisle, the bride's sisters embrace the bridesmaids roles, the brothers-in-law performed a beautiful ceremony. Cherry on the cake: the closest friends, who flew to the Turks & Caicos to share and cheer the couple on this special day.
Wedding venue: The Sands at Grace Bay; wedding coordinator: Keisha Delancy at Destination TCI; flowers: Flowers by EA; Reception Venue: Hemingway's Restaurant.
Where to get married? A Destination Wedding in Turks and Caicos is the perfect answer when you are gathering your favourite people in the world for one of the biggest celebration of your life. Bri and Joe chose The Sands on Grace Bay, a family-friendly resort, offering a harmonious balance of home comfort and sublime Caribbean elegance.
The couple chose to skip the details of the last minute preparation to focus on a beautiful collection of family and friends pictures. With 4 sisters on the groom side, and a male best friend on the bride side, a mixed bridal party was a must. Could it be the new trend for the year 2016? I hope so, it's so much fun to photograph!
A Destination Wedding in Turks and Caicos is perfect only with a team of experts: a special thanks to Keisha and the Destination TCI members for the ceremony design; to Caroline and the Hemingway's restaurant staff for the great dinner and reception; to Flowers by EA for the gorgeous bouquets and tables decor; to Daniel, DJ Viper for the fun party time.
"Would you like to be my husband?" - that's how a very emotional Keith asked Nancy in marriage... Â after spending 17 years together. The excitement, friendship, complicity and true love has been growing every day with the passing of the years.
"She deserves a the engagement ring, the white dress and an amazing destination wedding in the Turks and Caicos" - he told me just before the ceremony. Yes, planning the special day was the groom's idea - so romantic! They eloped to Provo keeping their Turks and Caicos wedding a secret not to be revealed to family and friends 'till their return home.
I loved everything about this wedding, especially Nancy and Keith, which I now consider my dear friends. We spoke on the phone and something clicked - we were meant for each other ;-)
I'm now happy to share their Turks and Caicos wedding pictures, the visual reminder of a fairytale became reality.

Emily and Jamie: a gorgeous wedding at The Sands Turks and Caicos. I loved every minute of it, in particular: the way he wraps her face in his hands when he kisses her, Lena' song to the couple, the bride big smile, the participation of the guests in the ceremony, the beautiful ceremony setup by Destination TCI, the love and affection that every person present shared with the newlyweds.
The sun took a nap behind the clouds instead of offering us a colourful sky, but we decided to forgive it as the day could not be any better ;-)
Last year I had the pleasure to meet the amazing Crudo Family (check out their portrait session). To celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary, Christine surprised Frank with a Turks and Caicos Vows Renewal: a bamboo arch on the beach, the promise to keep loving each other for eternity, their gorgeous kids, a few friends, a couple of bottles of champagne and a breathtaking sunset.
Keisha, fabulous coordinator at Destination TCI, Christine and I, put all the elements together for a secret and unforgettable evening. A standing ovation to the bride, who managed to have everyone at Leeward beach without saying a world about the great surprise.
The happy couple: Rostra & Marcus; the sweetest flower girl: Leah; the amazing venue: Windsong Resort; the great wedding planner: Mrs Dorell Delancey and the Destination TCI team; the fabulous sunset: Mother Nature in the Turks and Caicos; Â the bride's gorgeous hair and makeup: Shays Cosmetics; the wedding photographer: Attimi Photography (of course!).
Water and fire, sparkles and flowers, music and food, laughers and emotions, colours and beauty - they had it all. Congratulation Mr and Mrs Bailey!
