About couple of weeks ago Kellie and I meet with Alan and his wife Cori and all their extended family that came to the Turks & Caicos to celebrate Alan’s 70th birthday.

As a surprise for Alan’s birthday their family booked a family photo shoot with us to get some great memories of this very special day.

We first meet with everyone at the Long Bay House where we started taking some group photos around this beautiful vacation house and we continue on the Long Bay beach were all their grand children had a fun time running around and playing with everyone.

The Wedding of Ryan and Marc – part 1

March 13th, 2010 by Ileana Ravasio

Weddings, weddings, weddings… when you think you have seen it all, there is always a new one that takes your breath away. Ryan and Marc got married on the beautiful beach of The Somerset Resort and the event was simply fabulous!

But let’s take a step back… the couple know how to spoil and impress their guests, so they planned a fun afternoon on the Atabeyra to cruise along the stunning shores of the Turks and Caicos Islands. Continue reading…

It’s baby time!

March 12th, 2010 by Ileana Ravasio

Our new studio is becoming more and more popular every day: people just pop by to take a look at the eco-friendly building, check out the latest images, book a family session or simply say “hi!” – we love receiving visitors and especially to capture their life story.

One of our latest “guests” is the adorable Mr Dexter Button – 3 months old. His parents, Teejay and Paul, became my friends while capturing the first 2 years of their gorgeous daughter Harriet: in a stunning album we told her story as it unfolded. It’s now time for the latest arrival in the family…  Continue reading…

Michelle and Michael’s Island Escape

March 8th, 2010 by Chris Mann

As regular readers of our blog will know, the weather is something we’re always interested in, since we are so often out shooting on the beach! Last weekend I was due to shoot an “Island Escape” session with Michelle and Michael, and as luck would have it on Saturday and Sunday we had some rain and wind – but fortunately Monday was better so we were able to jump in the van and spend a couple of hours shooting at several different locations around the island.

We had some sunshine at Blue Hills, but by the time we got to Leeward it had clouded over. But hey, no worries – with a cloudy sky we have soft, flattering light, no squinting, and some dramatic clouds to have in the background! So I personally am not too bothered whether it’s cloudy or sunny (must be because I’m English! ;) ) Continue reading…

The Wedding of BJ & Brian on St Valentine’s Day

March 3rd, 2010 by Ileana Ravasio

I’m not sure how the question came up, but it may have sounded more or less like this: “What do you think about sailing around the Caribbean for 3 months and stop in the Turks and Caicos to get married on St Valentine’s Day?”.

WOW! That’s sound like a daydream but it’s all real. BJ and Brian left South Carolina on their beautiful boat, the “Executive Sweet”, and started an amazing lifetime adventure. Continue reading…

Jacqueline & Chris

March 2nd, 2010 by David Gallardo

Looking for a perfect location for your destination wedding sometimes can be difficult, specially with some many places to choose from. The good thing about the Turks & Caicos Islands is its proximity to the United States and the big variety of big and small hotels with great amenities for a perfect destination wedding.

We first met with Jacqueline and Chris about a week ago and I was quite happy to hear that one of the most important things about the future wedding will be their photography. They haven’t decided yet if they will be getting married in the Turks & Caicos Islands but they came to check out some of the hotels and as part of their up-coming wedding we did an engagement session with them at The Somerset Resort.

We love to do engagement sessions with couples before their wedding, this helps us a lot to show them our photography style and to show them as well how much fun they can have while taking photos with us ;-)

Jenea & Scott

March 2nd, 2010 by David Gallardo

Scott came to our office a couple of weeks ago to book a portrait as he was looking  for a very relaxed beach photo shoot to surprise his fiancée.

On the day of the shoot I met with Scott and Jenea at the Turks & Caicos Club hotel. The idea was to take the couple’s photos at the end of Grace Bay beach because it is normally a bit quieter and with fewer people walking around.

We had an overcast afternoon but perfect for beach photos because it wasn’t too hot and  Jenea and Scott were such a fun couple to work that they made me laugh during the entire photo session!

Here are some of my favorite images….

Meagan is one of our “superstar” brides – she has been AMAZING at posting on blogs and forums . We are SO lucky to have been able to help her and Dallas with their wedding.

We really enjoying shooting this couple and they loved being filmed & photographed as you can tell !!! Continue reading…

Our website was down…

February 22nd, 2010 by Chris Mann

Apologies to anyone who was trying to access our website from about 4.30pm EST on Saturday to 7.30AM EST on Sunday – our web hosting company suffered some major problems when their fire protection system went off accidentally during an inspection test, and damaged a lot of their equipment.

As you can see, everything is back online again now!
