The kids get a little taller, smarter, independent... they transform their baby features into gorgeous faces, long hair and a trendy beard. The adults help, encourage and, with a tear in the eyes, learn to let them go.
A family reunion is the perfect occasion to bound again, to show love to each other and to stop the clock, suspending every memory in time.
I first photographed this beautiful family 7 years ago and followed their life here in the Turks and Caicos - it has been a pleasure to meet the other family members and, once again, laugh, cuddle, jump and have fun on Leeward Beach.
She is seventeen years old. Young. Gorgeous. Full of hopes and dreams. She loves to smile, laugh and pose for the camera. She is a Senior Girl. She is Melanie.
Taking advantage of a beautiful family vacation in the Turks and Caicos, mom Beth booked a family portrait session on the beach, reserving a special spot for her precious daughter. I had a blast taking Melanie's pictures, as well as the family's, but above all, I was enchanted by the strong love that this family share - truly special.
A year ago I met Sara and Brian: we chatted about their wedding, the island life, their future and hopes. I have to admit that during the all meeting I wondered if Sara was making fun of me or if she was truly serious... on my notes I wrote "the bride is very sarcastic". Tons of emails later, a final meeting and a beautiful wedding, I'm absolutely certain that this sweet, caring, straight-forward, fun woman is going to make the rest of Brian's life very happy, teasing him once in a while. The facts: venue: The Sands Resort; wedding coordinator: Nila Destinations; flowers: Environmental Arts; hair and make up: Sheque Perfection; reception: Hemingway's.
I had a blast photographing this gorgeous family! From 50 Shades of Blue Villa to the pristine Sapodilla Bay, the smiles of the 3 beautiful girls and their great parents never faded. Run, jump, pose, play with the water and the sand, enjoy a lollypop and wach an amazing sunset: that's a family portrait in the Turks and Caicos by Attimi Photography.
When a charming, vintage wedding meets the stunning shoreline of Providenciales, Turks and Caicos, it screams for attention. The vibrant colours are replaced by an antique feel, a fairytale magic that impeccably suits the bride and groom: Lindsey and Eric.
Planned to perfection by Island Harmony and hosted at the unique Regent Palms, this wedding was simply amazing. From the bow tie to the lace gown, from the original bouquet (by Environmental Arts) to the arch decor, from the rustic table settings to the three-generation cake topper, every detail created a vintage atmosphere rich of love and happiness.
Bailey proposed to Allie after a long walk on City Par New Orleans: when she least expected he got down on one knee and asked Allie to be his wife. He is the love of her life and the "yes!" was immediate. The fabulous ring, personally designed by Bailey, sealed the deal... and here we are: it's time to announce the wedding with a collection of beautiful pictures taken in the Turks and Caicos.
I love to photograph engagement sessions: always fresh, happy, romantic. And I'm happy to fly to wherever you want for the wedding ;-)
Rock Shic is an excerpt taken from Eva Shi's personal lookbook of real people around the world. It is a combination of aesthetics, fashion, lifestyle, and travel. While travelling to the Turks and Caicos with her husband Chris, I had the opportunity to photograph the famous New York blogger during their stay at The Tuscany Resort. This quick session, taken on a cloudy afternoon, was fun, relaxed, casual and fresh. After all, Attimi Photography is always fashion inspired, story telling, sun kissed... even if the sun is taking a nap behind the clouds ;-)
To celebrate their 20th years anniversary, Nathan surprised his beautiful wife Eudene with a simple and elegant Vows Renewal ceremony on Grace Bay beach. Love never gets old and, exactly like the first time, the promise to share their life forever brought happy tears to Eudene's eyes, made Nathan's heart bit a little faster and celebrated a magical union.
A special thank you to Niki and Laura, the Seven Stars fabulous events planners, for organising an evening that the couple will never forget.
The Venetian on Grace Bay and The Tuscany Resort, Attimi Photography and Island Vibes Tours, teamed up to offer you the chance to win your dream vacation.
When Sally and Mike booked their vacation in the Turks and Caicos, they  envisioned their twin boys playing on the beach, building sand castles and having fun in the water. Unfortunately the "double trouble" find the sand a little strange, the waves very scary and the wind a bit too strong. But the big pool of Villa del Sol, daddy's fun games, mommy's care and grandma's patience, made up for everything... I certainly had a lot of fun photographing and playing with those adorable cuties!
