Well you waited ! OK not long Corey and Glen were married this past week at the Gansevoort Resort in Turks and Caicos and Corey wanted to have a photo shoot where she could go “wild” wearing the dress, but still be able to wear it the night of the wedding.

So having had a perfect sunset evening the night before we planned a midday/lunchtime shoot in the awesome bright Caribbean sunshine.

We grabbed some beer in a cooler, bought some “cracked conch” from a local restaurant along the way and over the next couple of hours made our way around the island.

Originally Corey and Glen were looking at doing a shoot at the resort on the beach at sunset. But we chatted via email before the wedding and soon decided that the “Island Escape” was the real option that they wanted. For most couples we find that the “barrier” to this kind of shoot is that they think it’s going to take a long time, will be really “posed” and boring and not much fun and after all they just spent a whole bunch of money on the “wedding pics” anyway. So we do the opposite!!! It’s quick, it’s easy, it’s fun and great value for money!! – you get to drink beer while you do it and with our local knowledge it’s a blast…

The Conch Shack was actually shut as its “low season” right now – but that didn’t matter – we were still able to shoot some images around the restaurant area – love this place.

Corey’s idea this one! Cool – we were all getting into it!

When I showed Corey this one a couple of days later, she said it was the best picture of her she had ever had !!! Looks like a magazine cover to me !

Then off up the road to another great spot, grabbed some conch on the way too – Corey and Glen loved it !

Now as it turns out lime green and pink are there “signature colors”!! (see previous wedding post) – so I knew that this location was going to work

Just around the corner in a palm tree grove we found a local boat.

I tweaked this a bit more than usual in Photoshop and love the feel of it. It’s very old world Caribbean. Travel magazine kinda feel maybe ??

Again keeping things moving along. We have only been shooting and eating and drinking and traveling for about an hour at the most and are on to our third location. No time to get bored, but not too busy to feel rushed. A quiet beach on the very south side of the island – almost totally deserted – just us and one other couple way down the beach – awesome!

The moment Corey got in the water in her dress!!

Payback !

Loving it !

85F, cool water, sunshine – what else could you ask for?

Really a “moment” between the action shots where Corey was just sitting in the water in her dress – love it.

Corey was “acting” it up and having fun!!

We then did” a roll”!!! Cool.. just love the expressions…

One happy bride!

Finally a jumping shot.

Corey and Glen – THANK YOU for being so cool and so into this whole thing. It really was so much fun helping you with this and being able to show you some of the Turks and Caicos that we know and love so much.
