A wedding and marriage is about two people, not everyone else, and an elopement is truly about two people alone. It gives the couple the opportunity to focus their full attention, free from distraction, and to be entirely in the moment with one another.
Pam and Bobby did it right, eloping to the Turks and Caicos Islands. They booked the modern Sea Edge Villa, part of a trio of the beautifully designed Villas at Grace Bay, and enjoyed every minute of their vacation / wedding / honeymoon / winter escape.
I felt very connected to the couple as, during the booking process, I was able to share some island tips and suggest some of my favorite people to work with. Pastor Padmore, the most charismatic and fun pastor on island, celebrated the legal ceremony; Shenique, at Sheque Perfection, enhanced Pam's beauty with soft makeup and elegant hair updo; Ernst, at Flowers by EA, created the stunning bouquet and boutonniere.
This is the wedding story of Denyonne and Cary: a beautiful wedding at The Palms Turks and Caicos. There is so much to tell about it that I'm lost for words.
Let's start from the stunning location, The Palms on Grace Bay: in the heart of the #1 beach in the world (TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice 2018), The Palms is an exquisite 72-suite resort spanning 12 acres. Where wedding dreams really do come true…
The details: Mrs Vera, the bride' step mom, personalised the wedding by creating most of the decoration, from the table settings to the bridesmaids bouquets, the ceremony details, the bride' shoes and the guests "book".
I just Googled "Destination Wedding" and page after page I found articles of the latest romantic comedy directed by Victor Levin. This blog post has absolutely nothing to do it, it's the real, heartfelt, beautiful special day of Citlani and Sal, a true Destination Wedding at Windsong Resort | Turks and Caicos. Their love story started 15 years ago, when the bride sister introduced the now newlyweds. A sweet daughter, lots of adventures, great time, ups and downs later, they chose to travel to Provo to pronounce their wedding vows on the one and only Grace Bay Beach.
Good to know: wedding venue - Windsong Turks & Caicos; wedding planner: Rosalind at Cinnamon Sun Events; flowers: Other Peoples Affair; make up artist: Ann at Beauty and the Beach; hair stylist: Brigitte at Tangled Hair Salon;Â wedding photographer: Attimi Photography of course!
It's all about love, beauty and friendship for this amazing The Sands on Grace Bay Wedding. With the closest family members and friends, Sarah and Dan travelled all the way from Montana to the Turks and Caicos Islands, to celebrate their union. A fun wedding, in the name of simplicity, fun, romance, laughters and great time.
Sarah and Dan met nine years ago during the first day of dentistry school. He spotted her while she was running and never left her side since. Dans still remember what she was wearing on that first day and publicly admitted that he was stalking her on Facebook even while they were dating. Such a catch can't be lost!
Can you plan your wedding in a week, leave your guests speechless, make your heart skip a beat and have the time of your life? Of course you can! This amazing couple transformed their winter getaway into an fabulous wedding at Villa Triton Turks & Caicos.
Their original destination wedding date was set for November, in a beautiful private island in the Florida Keys. The celebration was going to be breathtaking but the passage of hurricane Irma in September destroyed the island, as well as the couple's plan. From an island to the other, the trip to Providenciales offered to perfect occasion to transform a beautiful vacation into a spectacular wedding.
What do you do when it rains on your wedding day? You roll with it and have a blast! Alana and Bradley's wedding at Villa Footprints on the beach was an amazing, fun, romantic, wet event. It rained during the preparation, sprinkled at the ceremony, poured during the reception, but at every drop the couple got a little close, laugh a little more and kissed a little longer.
Bradley was Alana's high school sweetheart... then life simply happened. Fast forward 9 years he found her on Facebook, asked her out, started a long distance relationship, moved in together... and the rest is history. Now he signs his email with the signature "Two madly IN LOVE , The Johnson's" - I love it!
What's your reason to plan a beautiful Blue Heaven wedding?!? Jess and Kirk wanted to do a destination wedding because they: 1 - Have family all over the world. 2 - Love adventures and want to go somewhere new and exciting no one has really been to. 3 - Want to go somewhere absolutely gorgeous (Grace Bay, Turks & Caicos, is rated the 2nd best beach in the world!). 4 - Thought it seemed fitting to have a beach destination since their 4th date was to the beach in Mexico. 5 - Love being outside; boating, relaxing by the water, soaking up the sun and enjoying time with family and friends.
I have been fortunate to photograph a few same-sex weddings over the years. Although gay weddings are not legally recognized in the Turks and Caicos yet, several same-sex couples have come to the islands and simply married one another in their own terms, celebrating in their own way. Anytime real love manifests itself in two people, I'm honored to be the one chosen to show the world what that looks like.
Jeff and Don celebrated their 20-year anniversary of commitment to each other by getting married in long Bay, Turks and Caicos, on Valentine's Day. Their best friend gladly accepted to be the officiant and her fiancé their witness. What a wonderful day!
Fabulous: it's the best world to describe Sheena and Chad's wedding at Villa Mandalay Turks and Caicos. An exclusive location, where fantasy is reality, a stunning couple, a fun bridal party, delightful guests and a fairytale lovestory.
When I think I've seen it all, a wedding like this come along and I'm completely enchanted. I first met Sheena, Kay (her mom) and Mandi (her sister) during their island site inspection, and it was "love at first sight": I liked every idea, detail and choice they made, but more important, I liked their genuine, sweet and beautiful personalities. In a matter of minute they welcomed me to the family, as I've been part of it forever. Then came Chad, his family, the surprises of the special day, and the wedding became my favorite event ever.
There are several reasons why the Turks and Caicos are a top wedding destination: the islands are stunning, the events are fabulous and the pros in the field put their passion, talent, heart and soul into the special day of their guests. The Beach House Turks and Caicos, Nila Destinations and Flowers by EA did it again: the wedding of Jenny and John was amazing!
Beauty, love, laughters, romance and tradition, blended like a perfect cocktail, sealing the promise of an "happily ever after" life. This is Jenny and John's Beach House Wedding.
