Those that follow this blog know of our Trash the dress sessions from this perspective. If you’re new to this blog then have a look at Erin’s TTD, my first TTD shoot on a yacht. Liz loved the idea to and her images are here.

For fun Seumas got me into the harness and up I went. Here’s a quick snap from that day I feel reconnected and inspired.

Arika + Van’s intimate wedding of 2. One of two weddings on 11.11.11. I favour Smaller weddings, no set schedules and more time for creativity. Except, when you have two weddings in one day but I enjoy a challenge

Arika was excited to Trash her dress immediately after the ceremony, the morning light was beautiful at Hermitage Bay and we made the most of it. I love the harsh shadows and Caribbean blues found in a morning wedding. Antigua is not shy of sunshine or beaches and with a hot couple, who could go wrong.

The tight schedules between events left us with just enough time to recharge. The Hermitage Bay team treated us like guests. Thanks for assisting!!

We powered out to Sandy Island, one of Anguilla’s offshore islands for Renata + Isao’s TTD session. Our captain mentioned Sandy Island had an abundance of coconut trees but over the years the landscape changed due to the passing of many Hurricanes. Either way, it was a treat to shoot at this location. Our quick return to the hotel, Renata and Isao made their final leap into the pool for one last shot. Too cute!! It was a short and sweet trip to Anguilla. Thank you everyone at Cap Juluca!

Experimenting with a bit of underwater photography. So hard to do with natural light!

The final leap!!

If you’re thinking about getting married at Cocobay this is how Anna and Marjeg’s big day went down in Antigua. We stayed dry in the first 15 minutes of the ceremony, then the fun began with an immediate trash the dress session. Usually, TTD sessions are scheduled the day after but when it’s just the 2 of you and no guests, anything goes! Cocobay is one of my favourite resorts for shooting weddings!! Colour, Style, Architecture, and Location. It’s all about the location!

Christine and Luke live in English Harbour and thought it would be fitting to enjoy a few beers at the local corner bar before heading to the beach for a water session.

So glad I found this little spot – can’t wait to shoot there more often!

Love the local kid peeping around the corner.
