Chelsea and Ray: an intimate, beautiful, sun-kissed wedding at The Sands Resort Turks and Caicos. The celebration of two people in love, the union of 2 families, and the beginning of a happily ever after life.
The facts - Wedding Coordinator: the sweetest one of all, Mary at Nila Destinations; venue: The Sands on Grace Bay; Hair and makeup: Shenique at Sheque Perfection; flowers: Flowers by EA; reception catering: Kissing Fish.
Club Med Turkoise is known on island as "the" party place: an adult all-inclusive result with gorgeous award-winning beaches and thrilling watersports. Only a few special events are hosted on site, but a Club Med Turkoise wedding is certainly colourful, fun, casual, full of joy, emotions and love. Julie and Benoit got married only 4 days ago, on a sunny Turks and Caicos afternoon. An intimate wedding where everyone shared a happy tear during the bride and groom personal vows, blessing their perfect union.
There is something very special about small weddings: the stress level is low, the relationships are stronger, the newlyweds have more time to appreciate every moment of their celebration. My favourites!
"It's all about the match" - that's how Mark describes his never ending love for Kristen. "Finding the perfect person, the one that truly completes you and make you whole, the woman that will be with to you for the rest of your life". Mark emotional words, came out of his mouth so naturally, sincere and directly from the heart. With such a start, this amazing TCI Wedding began.
With the guidance of Lynne, Nila Destinations great wedding coordinator, the couple hosted their romantic TCI Wedding at The Sands on Grace Bay. They walked down the sandy aisle on a hot November afternoon, surrounded by turquoise water, loving family member and the closest friends.
"We have decided on forever. 11.28.15. Thank you for being part of our story" - that's the card that welcomed the guests at the beautiful reception hosted on the deck of Hemingway's Restaurant at The Sands resort. It has been my pleasure and honour to capture this sweet story, which I'm now happily sharing with you all.

Leah and Frank’s wedding at The Palms Turks and Caicos is a story of love, dreams and faith: they carefully choose the amazing location, the wedding details, the personal vows, the exit with sparkles… but one thing could not have been checked from the list: fireworks. Surprise, surprise, in the middle of the wedding reception, completely unexpected, the sky exploded in beautiful firework show, only a few hundreds years away from their dinner table. It was meant to be, just like their beautiful relationship.
The couple loves to travel (they are currently honeymooning in Africa!), to sky, to hike, to play, to golf, to drink and have a great time. From California to Georgia, their life together began when, after several attempts, Leah finally agreed to go out on a date with Frank... fell in love with the little freckles on his cheek and everything else about him.
Good to know: the perfect day would never have been so perfect without the one and only Nila Destinations - wedding planner; the bride’s fabulous make-up and hair style are by Shenique, at Sheque Perfection; the crazy dancing night was directed by Dj Dayoh; the amazing settings are all part of a wedding at the Palms Turks and Caicos.
Below the airplane wings the coral-based archipelago of the Bahamas was visible: scattered like precious jewels over 1,500 square miles of clear tropical sea at the top of the Caribbean, the islands were announcing the beginning of an unforgettable vacation. Sitting next to each other, Nazeema and Daniel slowly started to get to know each other, sharing jokes, experiences and the first signs of an incredible attraction...
A movie scene?!? The beginning of a romantic novel?!? No, reality sometimes is better then a fairytale.
From an island to the other, the couple hosted a beautiful Turks and Caicos Wedding at the Seven Stars resort: the blue water of the Bahamas made them fall in love, and the turquoise water of the Turks & Caicos sealed their promise of a life together forever.
The details: wedding venue: Seven Stars resort; wedding planners: Lynne and Chrishell at Nila Destinations; hair and make up artist: Shenique at Sheque Perfection; flowers: Environmental Arts; cake: Crust Bakery; bride' shoes: Jimmy Choo; music: DJ Dayoh; wedding photography: Ileana at Attimi Photography.
This is a dress story... or better, a love-story with an amazing wedding dress. Chelsie and Josh hosted a beautiful destination wedding at Turtle Breeze Villa, Providenciales, Turks and Caicos - an unforgettable day blessed by the Caribbean sun.
But let's talk about the gown! Dress shopping is an exciting part of the wedding planning for every bride: you try one, two, three, ten, 30, 50 'till you find "the one". Chelsie fell in love with her unique dress at first site: the black lace and belt had the touch of drama she was looking for, a representation of her style, personality and wildest part. We all love it!
The facts: ceremony location: Turtle Breeze Villa's beach; bride & groom romantic pictures: Leeward beach; wedding planner: Mary, Nila Destinations; bride's hair: Geraldine, Beauty & the Beach; bride's makeup: she did it all by herself, wow!; wedding photography: Attimi Photography, of course.
Eloping to the Turks and Caicos: a dream of many couples, the real wedding of Andrea and John. The young couple exchanged their vows on the best beach in the world, a few step away from their vacation home, Atlantic Ocean Beach Villas. Romantic, down-to-earth, sweet and simple just like the bride and groom.
A special thank to Mary, Nila Destinations' super wedding coordinator, and to Kristen, Andrea's best friend: she recently moved to the Turks and Caicos and I'm sure her presence had a strong influence on the couple's choice for their destination wedding.
My favourite thing about this special day? Andrea's laughter and smile - so pure, contagious, real, and certainly one of the reason that make John fall in love with his beautiful bride.
Stacey and Jorge used to work together at a department store while completing their studies. She didn't want to go to prom, but somehow she accepted Jorge's invitation... and the rest is history.
The couple beautiful wedding took place at Point Grace, Turks and Caicos: inspired by classic, turn-of-the-century British Colonial architecture, the beach front setting looks out upon a shimmering vista of turquoise sea and alabaster beach. 7 close relatives joined the bride and groom's beginning of a lifetime adventure, a journey full of emotions, love, dreams and marvels.
A special thanks to: Lynne Watts, at Nila Destinations, the energetic and amazing wedding coordinator; Shenique, at Sheque Perfection, the fabulous hair dresser and make-up artist; Coco, Coco Bistro's cat: without him the wedding could not have been complete - isn't it Stacey?
A deserted beach, the sound of the ocean, the sun setting in the water, the bride, the groom... eloping to the Turks and Caicos was the perfect answer to the dreamed "wedding in paradise" of Amy & Chris.
The beautiful couple chose the modern Gansevoort Turks and Caicos for they stay but fell in love with Leeward Beach, after viewing the images of this secluded location on the Attimi Photography Album. 2 is better then one, so I photographed their love at the resort and, of course, on the beach.
A special thank you to Lynne from Nila Destinations, for the perfect organisation and the last minute arrangements, to Pastor Coleby for the sweet ceremony, and to God for stopping the rain just in time to bless Amy & Chris union :-)
Q.: what can be better then a trip around the world?!?
A.:Â getting married in the Turks and Caicos Island while touring the world!
Yes, Bimla and Campbell started their journey in New Zealand, visited the mystical Peru, the historical Cuba, tight the knot in pristine Providenciales beach and continued their life experience towards England, Cambodia, Vietnam, Australia... wow! Â I'm so jealous!
While taking his pictures, Campbell fascinated me with stories of castles, kings, the creation of his perfect ring and his photography experience. Bimla revealed the secrets of video compositing and the passion of being an artist. Beauty aside, this couple is truly fabulous!
