Intimate Cayman wedding at the Westin, Grand Cayman photographed by Melissa Wolfe
Jonathan married his beautiful bride Carina on the shores of the 7 Mile Beach on Grand Cayman. The intimate Cayman wedding at the Westin took place as the sun was setting over the blue waters.
Carina is originally from Brazil and was escorted down the aisle by her mother. Her sister also attended the wedding.
I am in love with Carina’s stunning wedding dress in a pale blue and that gorgeous bouquet.

I had the great pleasure to photograph Paige and Waylon’s Caribbean Beach Wedding at the Westin, Grand Cayman recently.
Paige and Waylon first met in their first semester of nursing school in the fall of 2011. They started off as good friends and then started spending more time together in school and studying together outside of class and eventually their relationship progressed into a romantic one!
Asked why they decided to exchange of vows in the Cayman Islands, Paige says: “I have always wanted to get married on a beach and have a destination wedding and when I saw photos of Seven Mile Beach I just fell in love with the location!”
She continues: “Melissa made me so comfortable that I really didn’t even feel like I needed to tell her what I wanted in our photos, she just knew! She was so wonderful to work with and I highly recommend her!”
location: The Westin, Grand Cayman

Cayman Wedding Video by Melissa Wolfe Photography
Today I would like to share Karen and Spike’s Cayman wedding video. It is the first video where we used some drone footage and I think it really shows of the location and the island. A bird’s eye view of the ceremony certainly gives this wedding a different angle.
Enjoy!

Cayman Wedding photographed by Melissa Wolfe
They say time flies when your having fun and Karen and Mike are having a lot of fun together since they first met 11 years ago and certainly during their Cayman wedding. Karen was working as a bartender and caught the attention of a guy who was home from university for the summer. At first both thought it was going to be a summer romance, which then turned into a long distance relationship and in 2007 Spike moved back home to the Cayman Islands. Their our love and commitment to each other continued to grow stronger with each year passing. Two years ago Mike proposed on Monte Civetta on the top of Dolomites in Alleghe.
I asked KJ what her favourite part of her Cayman wedding day was and she replied: “We both really struggle to pinpoint a favourite part of our day everything was so special, from having my mom to be able to attend the wedding last minute and walk me down the aisle, to us tying an actual knot as a sign of our commitment to each other in front of all those we love and value so dearly to the amazing weather we got with those spectacular waves crashing in the background to the awesome party we had after its impossible to choose!”
She continues:”We are so pleased we choose Melissa and her team to work with for both our engagement session and our wedding photos. She is kind and caring, willing with her time and advice. She offers a very tailored experience and built an excellent rapor with us to ensure she really knew us and knew how to capture us best in her work. On the day especially during the ceremony we loved how she was invisible, she captured amazing photographs without us every noticing her around.”

Marilena and Feras celebrated their wedding on the Great Lawn of the Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman. The couple originally met through mutual friends and first travelled to the Cayman Islands when they got engaged. They fell in love with the island and knew they have found their perfect wedding location.
The wedding ceremony as on the Great Lawn but Marilena and Feras loved their images on the beach best.

I had the pleasure of capturing Mindi and Chris’s Caribbean beach wedding recently at the Westin Grand Cayman.
How did you meet?
We met on eHarmony (dating website) and were inseparable from our very 1st date. We met for dinner before a concert he was taking me to and got so caught up in each other that we forgot to order our food! It was love at first sight.
Why did we choose the Cayman Islands?
We researched so many Caribbean destinations when planning, but the pictures of the Caymans (water, vibe, beauty) truly encompassed everything we wanted for our special day and for the pictures that we would have to tell our story for the rest of our lives.
The highlight of working with Melissa on our big day was her amazing energy! From the moment she walked into the hotel room to begin our session/my bridals, I felt like I was in the company of a friend. I’m not a fan of staged photography, and without her even knowing that, her artistic eye captured so many beautiful moments I would have never remembered and even put together quite a few posed shots that were absolutely stunning. We were able to be 100% us because she made us feel so comfortable. I was so happy she was just as excited as I was to take shots with my wedding dress in the water! If I would have thought to schedule more time, I promise I would have had her do a complete romantic trash the dress session in the sand…but…that just gives us a reason to come back & celebrate our 1 year anniversary!!
