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!

Gudrun and William met in 2002 at Vanderbilt University where both attended college.  They were friends for a couple of years and started dating officially in 2004.

After graduation their careers took them to different locations across the US – Gudrun went off to Boston then Los Angeles then to New Orleans while William found himself in Louisville then Austin, TX and then Milwaukee.  Wanting to give their relationship a real chance they both moved to Chicago.

Ten years after they started dating at college they got engaged in 2014 after a weekend away at a beautiful resort in Geneva, IL.  Their daughter Sunna Wu was born in January 2015.

For their wedding they eloped to the Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman. Gudrun says: “We choose Grand Cayman for our wedding because we both vacationed there as children and have been returning together for the past 3 years.  We visit Grand Cayman once every year and plan to do so for many years into the future.  It holds a special place in our hearts as it is where we decided to start trying for a baby and discussed for the first time getting married.”

I love spending time on the beach around sunset … the best time for family photos. It is especially if I am allowed to hang out with a smiley baby like this one.

As a family… I doubt we take as many candid photos as most people do.  With cell phones, candid has become a whole new storytelling culture that combines silly, performance and sparks creativity.  These are a few of the rare ones of my husband David, the perfect husband for me and awesome father to his children.

Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads, Grandpas, Granddaddies, who are such a wonderful part of our lives.

Tavarus and Pilar met in Tampa via mutual friends. The proposal was magnificent… He swept her away to Sedona to a resort called ‘Enchantment’, supposedly on a “work trip”….  Coincidentally, I was at the same Sedona resort months before and can vouch for the deep energy that the canyons and red rock surrounding Enchantment possess.  Ideal place for love and commitment.

The trip had absolutely nothing to do with work but become the most magical proposal with a bride that had absolutely no idea. As Pilar can tell you much better in her own words:

“I asked what our plans were for tomorrow and he said that the company arranged for a trip to the Grand Canyon. The next morning we arrive at the airport, and there is a private plane waiting for us to fly us to the Grand Canyon.  The trip and scenery was amazing during our flight, we got a mini tour by the pilot..It was breathe taking. On the ground we walked around looking at many landmarks and then we decided to stand on the highest point at The Grand Canyon..called Guano Point..everyone was taking pictures so we waited until the bulk of people were off the rock so we could take some pictures alone. Before I climbed up the rock, I found a family and asked if they could take some photos of us while on this rock. Tavarus then also asked if they would video tape it for us. They said of course. So, I climbed up first on the rock and as I turned around to help Tavarus up, he was on his knees and I heard music playing from his iPod..it was the Band Of Monsters And Men, song From Finner. Still having no clue what was going on..I said to him “What are you doing on your knees, stand up”.. He looked at me and I saw him reach in his pocket and he pulled out the ring..I covered my month and just started weeping in happiness and said YES of course and everyone around was clapping and cherring for us and we hugged and embraced each other for the longest while. It was just the most amazing moment other than exchanging our vows, that I had ever experience. So with all that..he proposed at The Grand Canyon and  it was never a company trip..He planned the entire weekend all himself.”

Their wedding day was as magnificent by the blue waters of Grand Cayman. Pilar looked incredibly stunning in her gown next to an equally handsome Tavarus as they danced the night away under the Caribbean stars.

I love all the details of Brachla and Keith’s wedding beautifully orchestrated by their wedding planners Parfait Cayman. Brachla’s hair and dress were stunning and the gentlemen look thoroughly handsome with their lime bow ties.  The Villas of the Galleon was the perfect setting for their island wedding followed by culinary delights from Mise En Place at their reception right on Seven Mile Beach.

The National Trust held its 2nd annual “Hatitude with Gratitude” gala recently at one of Cayman’s iconic historic sites, Pedro St. James. Guests were invited to light up the lawn in their beautiful hats, contributing to a ‘day at the races’ atmosphere and raising funds for benefit of the National Trust’s important educational work which teaches thousands of students the importance of environmental conservation and historic preservation.

A beautiful event full of grace and elegance for a worthy cause.

Susan and her family vacationed on beautiful Seven Mile Beach with the grand parents and ask me to capture some beach memories for them. I love portrait session where we just play and have fun while catching some precious moments.
