The bride landed on island just a few hours prior the ceremony, the rain "crushed" the wedding, the sun set behind a tick layer of clouds... but Allison and Harvey' special day turned out to be just perfect. Thanks to the efficiency of Shameka, Grace Bay Club fabulous wedding coordinator, the couple happily pronounced their "I do" on the pristine Grace Bay beach, surrounded by 4 caring guests.
Allison preferred a traditional and formal approach to the wedding photography and I was pleased to satisfy her request.
About a month ago I received a phone call from Cindy, the excited and concerned mother of the bride - her daughter's wedding was approaching fast and she needed an experienced Turks and Caicos photographer to capture every precious moment. In no time, Diane, from Island Harmony, helped her finalising all the details and plan a gorgeous event at Villa Shambala / Grace Bay Club.
Kristen and Matt are genuine nice people - easy going and in love with life, they have two amazing reasons to celebrate: marriage and a baby. Congratulations!
One of the things I LOVE about being a wedding photographer is getting involved in the lives of my brides and grooms! Â Not much makes me happier than when I get a call from a past couple to ask me if I would photograph another unforgettable moment in their life. Â I met Hanh and Kevin when they first came to the Turks & Caicos Islands looking for the perfect location for their wedding... first it was the engagement shoot (2009), then the wedding (2010 - gorgeous!!!), followed by Tanner (2011) and now little Holden (2013). I truly feel part of the family !
What a beautiful wedding! I'm proud to share Shelley and Bryce's entire album layout - in the era of technology and digital images, we tend to forget the amazing feeling to hold, open and feel a real book. Silk paper, a modern acrylic cover, a stunning box that treasure the first family heirloom. Hold on that feeling and look at the following images as double-spread pages of an unique coffee-table book.
The Venue: Grace Bay Club
Wedding coordinator: Ms Shameka Simmons
Bride's hair-do: Brigitte, Tangled Hair Salon
Bride and groom: GORGEOUS!!!
Competition for Miss Turks and Caicos 2013 has began. The contestants describe themselves as beautiful, intelligent, sociable, and having the determination to become a beauty ambassador.
Last Sunday I had the pleasure to photograph Tye - the elegant and vibrant colours of Grace Bay Club matched the beautiful girl's personality. As Audrey Hepburn said: "the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows...".
Kristen and Tom's engagement session was super fun! I loved Kristen's colourful dress, her Jimmy Choo sandals and, more than anything, their amazing complicity.
The couple took a short trip to the island to finalise the wedding details, which will take place at Grace Bay Club next October. Congratulations, you two!!
