The Tourist Board welcomed 20 Specialist Travel Agents from Brazil and the United States for a Romance, Wedding and Honeymoon Turks and Caicos FAM.
Resorts site inspections, including The Shore Club, The Sands, The Somerset, Grace Bay Club, West Bay Club, The Gansevoort Turks and Caicos, The Seven Stars; weddings presentations, cocktail parties, delicious dinners, a trip to North Caicos and a fun boat trip with picnic on a deserted island.
Pine Cay, an 800-acre private island with two miles of pristine beach, is fast becoming one of the only places in the Turks and Caicos where you can get completely away from the pressures of modern life. Looking for an intimate, beautiful, special and simple day, Claudia and Derek chose to celebrate their Pine Cay Wedding on the natural beach of the Meridian Club.
Promising to stay side to side forever, in the presence of God and OUR ocean, Claudia and Derek had an unforgettable wedding, and a truly amazing time in Pine Cay. From the Sand Dollar Cottage, to the exploration of the island striking natural features, from the romantic and secluded time, to the laughs and jokes shared with a group of new friends - the experience of a lifetime and a perfect beginning of a very happy married life.
Avianne, the wedding coordinator, and the Meridian Club staff were great - I'm sure the couple will never forget them.
Let's the pictures tell the story of this amazing Pine Cay Wedding!
"I saw that you were perfect and I loved you. I was that you were not perfect and I loved you even more".
That's the message that Darci and Jared printed on their candles to describe their love. A little crazy, very cute, hopeless romantic, fun, fun, fun.
Venue: The Sands at Grace Bay, Providenciales; Wedding coordinator: the one and only Island Harmony; Catering company: Kissing Fish
"I get trapped by Susie's beauty each day, I am almost always late to work in the morning as a result :-)" - Lee Ting
I could not find a better way to start this blog post then copy and paste what Lee replied to my email: she is true beauty, inside and out, and he is her funny, smart, deeply in love husband. Just when I think that I will not find a wedding to love as much as the ones I already photographed, a new amazing couple reminds me that the best is still to come. Let's the images speak... I could have posted all 600 of them!
“The future for me is already a thing of the past . You were my first love and you will be my last†- Bob Dylan.
Laurie and Ryan were high school sweet hearts... years passed, life happened, things changed, but love always win. On February 8th 2014 they exchanged their vows in front of family and friends on the pristine Grace Bay Beach by Villa del Mar, Turks and Caicos. From the sunny day to the star-filled night: perfect!
It's a watch story. Geoff has been looking for a watch to match his style, class and professional figure and, besides buying the perfect piece at Penerai, he found the love of his life. Or maybe she found him: after a few months form the first encounter, gorgeous Lindsey asked this charismatic man on a date... and the rest is history.
The couple chose a destination wedding in the Turks and Caicos versus a busy New York affair. I love to photograph eloping couple, being closely part of their day - from helping the bride zipping up the dress to tell the groom that the butterflies in the stomach are not just normal, but mandatory ;-)
8 years, hundreds of adventures, tons of love, 2 boys and 1 little girl later, Anthony finally popped the question... and Jennifer said "Yes!". The wedding day is set, one of the most beautiful garden venue in New York city is booked, the guests are invited, the photographer has the camera ready...
Taking advantage of their Turks and Caicos family vacation, the couple left the kids with grandpa and enjoyed a little romance on Leeward beach. If you think taking pictures is boring, ask Anthony: the extra TLC received from his future during the shoot, made him want to repeat the engagement session over and over again :-)
It's the last day of the year, so much has happened in 2013: the Royal Baby is born, Nelson Mandela, Margaret Tatcher and Hugo Chavez died, Gay marriage became legal in England, New Zealand, France and Brazil, Pope Benedict resigned, I turned 40, Attimi Photography came to life
Karen and Don are unconventional, edgy, unique... a traditional wedding with lots of guests wasn't in their dream, so they eloped to the Turks and Caicos Islands to celebrate their union at The Windsong Resort.
Red lipstick, red shoes, red shirt, red stash, red like Attimi  - I loved it!
A special thank you to Mrs Rosalind McKenzie, from Cinnamon Sun Events, for planning this fabulous day.
Planning a big wedding, with lots of guests, traditions and festivities can be very stressful. To avoid all the fuss and truly enjoy each other company, Christina and Angelo chose to elope to the beautiful Turks and Caicos: the sand between the toes, tho soothing sounds of the ocean, the heat of the Caribbean, the contemporary atmosphere of the Gansevoort Resort, a lot of love - perfect!
After an emotional ceremony on the beach, planned in every detail by Dorell Delancey, Destination TCI, the couple and I jumped in the car to "spice up" the photo shoot, adding colourful backgrounds and the unique sceneries of Provo.
