You don’t want the stress of a formal wedding? Elope to the Turks and Caicos!
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.

Doesn’t she look like Taylor Swift in one of her amazing fairytail music videos?!?
So far they didn’t see each other in their wedding attires yet. It’s time for the first look…
“Take my breath awayyyyy, na, na, na…” (yes, you can sing along)
A quick shot to calm the nerves…
… and it’s picture time on Turtle Cove beach
I’m in love with Pam’s fabulous wedding gown. Combined with a gorgeous smile, some laughters and dance moves, it’s even better!
Let’s get married! On the secluded Leeward Beach
One of my favourite image of the day – she looks so happy!
I promise, I didn’t stage this kiss. He reached her neck, close his eyes, kissed her forehead… so romantic.
Not every night ends with a stunning sunset, but who cares about it after such an amazing day?!?

Ileana,
After a crazyyy month of November I am FINALLY getting a chance to take the time I wanted to comment on this. In every way you exceeded our expectations. When looking for a photographer I chose you because I could tell you actually cared about your clients, and when you replied to me it wasn’t a generic copy and paste response; you were actually listening to what I wanted and needed from my very first inquiry. Aside from the photography, you were incredibly helpful in referring me to Pastor Padmore, Shenique & Ernst, as well as answering all my other random questions about the logistics of getting married there. Without you, pulling off our wedding would have been 10 times harder and more stressful. Reading reviews like this one made me confident that I was choosing the right photographer, so to anyone reading this while shopping for a photographer, for gosh sake, pick Ileana; you will not regret it!! Especially since we eloped, our wedding was a very intimate event to share with someone, and you could not have been more personable, kind, and you made us feel so comfortable throughout the process. Last but certainly not least, the photography!!! The hopes I had for our wedding pictures pale in comparison to what you actually delivered. They are absolutely beautiful and you did such a good job coaching our awkward selves into getting a good shot haha. Since we had no friends and family in attendance, you gave us an amazing opportunity to share our wedding day with our loved ones, and we will always have such gorgeous photos to remember the day with. We also can’t tell you enough how much we appreciate you getting them back to us so quickly to ensure we had them before our reception dinner. Bobby and I cannot thank you enough. Take care, Ileana, and we will see you in 5 years for the anniversary shoot! 🙂

I always do my best to offer great photos, as well as an awesome experience. Your kind words are the proof I’m doing something right 🙂
I can’t wait to see you in 5 years. Meanwhile be happy every single day!
