Molli & James wanted to have their destination wedding somewhere special with bright blue skies, crystal clear turquoise waters, and gorgeous sandy beaches. Blessed with some of the prettiest beaches and backdrops in the Caribbean where better to choose to have your wedding than here in Grand Cayman. Added to all this natural beauty the island has a plethora of luxury hotels including the stunning Kimpton Seafire Resort & Day Spa which was their venue of choice for their special occasion.
The shoot started off with both Molli & James getting ready in their respective luxury bungalows, surrounded by their friends and family, eating, drinking and laughing as they prepared for the days proceedings.
Both the bride and groom were both a little nervous being in front of the camera but soon settled into the flow of things. Their nerves were definitely helped after an impromptu drink at the Anchors Store at the Yacht Club after stopping for some booze on route back to the hotel from their “First Look” shoot. The staff there very kindly gave us all a drink to celebrate their special day!
Once back at the venue and final preparations were made, the ceremony took place on a picture perfect evening on the beach and the happy couple completed their vows.
I had a great day shooting this wedding with this great fun couple and wish them all the best in their adventures together as Mr & Mrs Millett.

Who knew that it was possible to find love on a jet ski, outside of romance novels? Seven Mile beach of our very own Grand Cayman was the sensational setting for the celebration of love between Anya and Roy. The picture perfect couple met when Anya and her friends hired Roy for a jet ski excursion and it all went from there. So it was only fitting that they decided to tie the knot with a beautiful sandy wedding along Seven Mile Beach. Even the questionable weather decided to cooperate specially for the wedding day.

The Marriott wedding was filled to the brim with family from all corners of the earth … Canada, Trinidad, USA and Honduras; which of course led to a high energy crowd with the sounds of reggae and soca there to guide everyone on their feet and to the dance floor. The connection between the couple was obvious for everyone to see that day. Between Anya’s contagious laugh and smile or Roy’s humbling good looks, the chemistry between this special couple was impossible to miss and easy to capture. As an added personal touch Anya’s garter belt had a small Barcelona symbol on it, not just as tribute to her husband’s football team of choice, but also as a reference to their honeymoon spot!

It was such a pleasure to have the chance to capture the affection and enchantment of these newlyweds on the first day of the rest of their lives. Thank you both again for letting me spend one of the most important days of your lives with you!

There was something in the air. Perhaps it was the Caribbean sea breeze or the smell of salt, but friends and family showed up ready to celebrate. Yes, there was a party to be had and dancing to do, but the marriage? THAT was what it was all about. Sandra and Wesley travelled from the United States, never having experienced the beauty of Grand Cayman. Through some research and endless positive reviews, the lovebirds decided that the island was the perfect fit. Wesley and his calm sensibilities is Sandra’s perfect counterweight to her vibrancy. She’s the type of woman who walks in a room and lights it up with her smile, and Wesley encourages her to shine. Together they wed at the historic Elmslie church in Georgetown which was followed by the the reception at The Grand Old House, overlooking the stunning ocean. Yes, something was in the air. It was called LOVE. On a personal note, I felt the traditional Thai Water Ceremony was quite moving! This is a ceremony where guests, led by the elders, pour water on the hands of the bride and groom and offer words of wisdom and blessings.

Sandra and Wesley, thank you so much for reminding me how lucky and blessed I am to do what I love. Much Appreciation .. Many thanks to Livia of Grand Old House and Sarah of Save The Date Planning for making the day so amazing!

They wanted a party and celebration of love, not a large and extravagant wedding celebration. Connie and Laurence promised their love to each other, but, more so, promised to keep their friends and family at the center of the day. Their marriage was to be celebrated, not demarcated by a list of things to do. No need for a large bridal party, grand entrance, or garter – bouquet tosses … their loved ones were the party, everyone was part of the grand entrance, and the cake was to be cut and shared by guests. The result? Love.

Warm, soft, overwhelming love, only made more beautiful by the pastel coloured sky and the sounds of crashing waves as the day progressed. Connie and Laurence danced the night away under a string of lights, under a canopy of tropical trees. Together they celebrated what it meant to be loved, wed, and officially married.

Newlyweds, thank you just doesn’t seem like enough. I can’t fully express my appreciation for being dream clients, for trusting me to do what I do best, and reminding me that people get to make their own rules for love. For this (and SO much more), THANK YOU. Much Love and Appreciation …

Growing up in Bodden Town – Grand Cayman, the lure of the Pedro St James Castle always intrigued Tiffany and Dwayne. Rich in history, ancient bricks and an ocean view that is unparalleled. The celebration was underneath a stunning tent with bright florals and stunning ceiling lighting. The luxurious check-in was accompanied by a glass of champagne, only be to out-shined by the sweet Caribbean welcome. Tiffany loved this welcome and wanted her wedding guests to experience the Castle in a way that reflected the love she and Dwayne share. Together they invited their friends and family to toast, cheer, and support their beautiful love in one of the most beautiful places in the Cayman Islands.

Jacklyn’s lifelong dream of getting married on the beach finally came true this past September when she and her fiancé Sean exchanged vows by the ocean in an intimate beachfront ceremony in Grand Cayman. Along with their family and friends, the couple partied the night away at the private ocean villa to celebrate what they both agree was a perfect day!

When it came to their wedding day, Jacklyn and Sean knew exactly what they didn’t want – a stiff, traditional church wedding. Instead, the couple gathered up their friends and family, hired an officiant, and got married on the beach at sunset. After their simple ceremony, the couple celebrated with cracking neon lighting, which became their bracelets, necklaces, glasses, etc and plunged into a stunning infinity pool under the moonlight. Keeping their wedding small and intimate allowed the couple to stay true to themselves and have fun in the process!
