Wedding Ring inspiration from Cayman Islands Weddings
As wedding photographer, I get to photographer the most gorgeous wedding rings during my Cayman Islands weddings. From glitzy to elegant and understated there is something for every taste. Enjoy!
A Seven Mile Beach Wedding captured by Melissa Wolfe
Valerie and Clayton invited their close family to their nuptials on the shore of for their Seven Mile Beach Wedding. They chose the Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman for their wedding ceremony.
We started of the photography session in the lobby of the hotel as we made our way to wedding gazebo set up on the beach. The set up was just gorgeous with as the sun was dipping in to the Caribbean Sea.
A Westin wedding and a Grand Old House Reception
Rosie & Will exchanged their vows with their toes deeply buried in the white sand of Seven Mile Beach at the Westin Grand Cayman Beach Resort. After the ceremony the whole wedding party took the festivities to their Grand Old House Reception where Rosie and Will partied the night away with family and friends.

A Grand Cayman Marriott Wedding photographed by Melissa Wolfe
The Grand Cayman Marriott Beach Resort was the location for My Linh and Paolo’s wedding surrounded by their close family. My Linh looked stunning in her wedding gown perfect for a beach wedding. I especially love the vintage inspired hair wreath she is wearing. Being a true Italian with a smart Italian suit Paolo looked pretty debonair himself. Congratulations to the two of then on their Grand Cayman Marriott Wedding.
The “lightbox magic” of an overcast sky…
It was an overcast day, as sometimes happens during Cayman’s rainy season (June 1st – November 30th). It rained lightly before and after the ceremony for this Grand Old House Wedding. Trying to describe overcast light with words is tough, but I am going to give it a try!
The beauty of Cayman’s overcast days is the even light created by white clouds. Mother Nature provides a virtual soft box. The warm sunlight becomes filtered and produces a natural studio with gentle light coming from all directions. It bounces off the sea, the buildings and even the people around. Light is everywhere.
Chantelle & Sean selected the historic plantation home Grand Old House in Grand Cayman to share their vows and commitment to each other. They invited their closest family and friends, who all enjoyed how special and memorable a Cayman Islands wedding can be. The Grand Old House has plenty of covered areas in the event that it does rain too hard to be outside. Thankfully, this was not the case. The advantage to such a historic venue is the traditional architecture, which adds a lovely background of outdoor space.
It also helps to have a sunny disposition with creating wedding portraits. From beginning to end, Chantelle & Sean lit up the Grand Old House. Of course this made my job of capturing the magic a happy and sunny pleasure. The other “light and sunny” part of their day was the enthusiasm and energetic participation of their wedding party. No hurricane or threat could have dampened the spirits of a positive, supportive and outgoing group of friends/family.
The Great Ball of Fire finally did made an appearance at the end of the wedding shoot and sunglasses became necessary instead of the umbrellas. That is one of the many great things about Cayman…. if you don’t like the weather, be patient with Mother Nature, as she always delivers.
Not every wedding in Grand Cayman takes place on one of our beautiful beaches. Tiffany & David exchanged their vows at St. Ignatius Catholic Church. After the ceremony we drove to a local hangout for some fun images.
The reception took place at a stunning waterfront restaurant ‘The Wharf’. A wonderful place to celebrate Tiffany & David’s wedding. Congratulations to you both!
I am sorry to break it to you but it isn’t always sunny in Paradise. We do have the odd rainy days which mostly consist of showers … so wait for a few minutes and it’s all over. However it was a little bit more than a shower on Andrea & Shane’s wedding day. Rain on your wedding day is for Good Luck and so these two must be the luckiest couple in the world.
