Most wedding dresses are stronger than you think: a good dry cleaner can bring back your gown to its original shape. In the worst case scenario, let's be realistic: how many more times are you going to wear your dress?
In Turks and Caicos we trash the dress, or better, we wet it! That's right, because a little bit of salt water never hurts.
I loved everything about this fantasy, epic, personal photo shoot in Turks and Caicos. Most of all I loved working with Jennifer, an inspiring, talented and creative entrepreneur. She transformed her backyard into a magical indulgent escape: Glamper Paradise.
In her studio she create props, costumes and other "glamperousgoods" for unique, dreamy and original space. In Jennifer words: "Glamper Paradise kind of morphed into a photo shoot location after a few photographers found us and spread the word. It's a great way to connect with other creatives".
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.
Meeting Olga and taking her Turks & Caicos Beach Photos has been a true pleasure. To finish the year in style and welcome the new one with joy, open mind and self love, this Russian beauty left the freezing Moscow's winter to enjoy a couple of weeks in different islands of the Caribbean.
We met before sunrise, when the light is soft and delicate, just like Olga's pale skin. 2 dresses, 2 bikinis, no make-up, no attitude, just fun, simplicity, natural beauty and a touch of sexiness.
The Turks and Caicos Islands are fast becoming a dream destination for many people all over the world. Fashion designer, Marcela Malloy, and her husband Flavio, travelled all the way from Belo Horizonte, Brazil, to celebrate their wedding anniversary on the renowned Grace Bay beach.
Marcela wore a beautiful Arte Sacra | Couture gown from her own collection, evoking comfort, spontaneity and naturalness, signatures of the brand.
My Turks and Caicos photography travels the world, just like me ;-)
Last January I met an amazing woman: Susie. I had the chance to photograph her family, as well as to capture her sexy Turks and Caicos bikini shoot. Fast forward a year she is back on island, ready to pose again for my camera, with and without kids.
Susie has an impressive story to tell: to respect her privacy I’ll not reveal her secrets on this post, but I can proudly say that she has all my admiration and respect. She is beautiful woman, a lovely wife, a caring mother; she is also as a fighter, a fearless, strong, faithful, dedicated, awesome lady.
Grand Turk: the capital island of the Turks and Caicos, its historical heartbeat, and home to a state of the art luxury cruise ship centre. Carnival, Princess, Voyager and other cruise lines chose the 7 square miles island as a favourite stop for their passengers.
So what to do when landing in Grand Turk? Justin made his day truly unforgettable by proposing to his beautiful girlfriend Katelyn. What a surprise! Emotions, happy tears, excitement, love, laughters and joy, all captured by a memorable collection of Grand Turk Engagement pictures.
I collected the couple, Justin's lovely mom and auntie at the cruise centre, headed to town and started the photo session. While the ladies prepared the beach, spreading the petals of over 20 roses on the sand, we took advantage of a shaded area for the first set of engagement pictures. I could see the butterflies wildly flying inside Justin's stomach as the tension rose. Finally I gave him the signal, he got down on one knee... and the rest his history.
Many congratulations to Justin and Katelyn... the Turks and Caicos and I will be happy to welcome you back for the wedding :-)
Life in the Turks and Caicos is great: sun, beach, island-time, amazing photography and a cool lifestyle. I wish my family and friends would visit more often so everything would be perfect.
This is a blog post like no others, it features my beautiful family: the 7 people I love the most in the all wide world, and even a picture or two where I stand on the other side of the camera.
Soon I'll be in Italy to visit all of them, but I can't wait to have my family back to the Turks and Caicos :-)
Sonsoles Sanchez Rasueros is a gorgeous Spanish actress. Attracted by the beauty of the Turks and Caicos she booked her flight to the island and planned a quick photo shoot, to expand her portfolio - "I want to have a session on the beach, in this beach, because in Spain, we don't have these beaches".
No makeup and no Photoshop, Sonsoles is natural and pure. The freckles on her body are part of who she is, she embrace her imperfections and love them.
We had a great time together, not just taking pictures, but talking about photography, the Turks and Caicos, her career, success and life. "Fame is simply an accomplishment, a way to prove to yourself and the people around you that you do what you love, you follow your passion and achieve your goal".
AÂ man and a woman meet each other, they fell in love, get engaged and they plan a happily-ever-after wedding. A common story, every time unique, exciting, different, emotional, amazing.
Ashley and Trey will get married this November at the intimate, beachfront resort on Turks and Caicos: The Somerset. To finalise their special day's details, they planned a site inspection (such a great idea!), and set aside an hour for their Turks & Caicos engagement pictures. We headed to Leeward beach, where the ocean blends with the sky and the sunset colours are always unbelievable (well, if we are lucky).
I loved the couple's connection, the perfect mix of romance, playful energy, affection and fun :-)
