Two big brown eyes, an adorable smile, an excited bundle of joy opened the door: "Do you remember me?". Of course I do! Ari is one of my favourite kid in the all wide world, so is Rohan, his little brother. I knew them when they were just a remote idea in their parents mind (I photographed Sandhya and Asif's wedding), and I've being capturing their story ever since (click on the "Circle of Life" to view the previous photo shoot).
The Somerset Turks & Caicos is their home away from home, a place to relax, enjoy the sun, spend quality family time. A new colour theme, lots of smile (a few tears too, but you will not see them!) an another collection of memorable attimi ("moments" in Italian).
9 best friends, the world number 1 beach, the sun, the sea, lots of laughters, champagne and an amazing girls time: it's Tanima's fabulous Bachelorette Party in Turks and Caicos!
White dresses, each one different and unique, just like the amazing girl wearing it; fantastic shoes, with a touch of colour and lots of style; long hair, red lips, enchanting eyes -Â head turner and traffic stopper! Can you think of a better way to celebrate your Bachelorette Party? I don't.

I'm very excited to share a few pictures from the Caicos Express Airways collection. Lucky me, I was hired by the amazing Lynn Bengtsson to photograph Grand Turk and Salt Cay and contribute to the airline marketing campaign. We had so much fun! Island hopping and taking pictures of the beautiful Turks and Caicos Islands was much better then having a day off - after all photography and travel are my biggest passions.
A few words about Caicos Express Airways: the customer service, punctuality, safety and comfort are outstanding. Every check-in feels like a welcome home and flying as a co-pilot (without touching a single button of course) it's an experience I'll never forget.
"Destination 2015 - Turks & Caicos Islands" is ready and it looks absolutely stunning! Silk black cover, smooth velvety pages, a touch of gold and a collection of amazing pictures by the best local photographers. The editors, Claire Parrish and Kathy Borsuk, introduced a new concept, design and style for the latest coffee-table book. A gift to keep, share and treasure forever.

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!
Exactly two years ago I had the privilege to photograph the wedding of Taylor & Jack. Coming back to the island is a tradition they would like to repeat every year as they are in love with this beautiful place.
Thanks to Taylor's mom, Jaimi, and her passion about photography, every step of their lives is documented by a collection of amazing pictures: from the engagement to the wedding, from the maternity to the delivery, from the first baby to the second. Every moment is precious and it can't be forgotten with the passing of time. Let's take a look at the Turks and Caicos shoot...
Small, intimate, classy, unforgettable: this is the wedding of Kelly and Till at the luxury Villa Alamandra, The property setting, the natural coastline, the pristine Taylor Bay, offered the couple the perfect backdrops and decoration - nothing could be more perfect... who said rain?!? It was just a blessing!
One last thought before sharing the picture: I love the definition of the Turks and Caiocs Islands, written by the groom: "The TCI is one of those gems of the Caribbean that reminded me of the Bahamas in the early 80’s….and with Villa Alamandra one gets spoiled big time!".
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.
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.
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 ;-)
