Beautiful Villa Wedding

Liz and Erik planned to marry last year at the beautiful Villa Samsara. Then the world closed down due to Covid-19.  Because this special couple had their hearts set on getting married in Turks and Caicos, they decided to postpone their wedding for a year. Fast forward to May 2021 when the world was somewhat normalized.  International travel also normalized, and this allowed Liz and Erik to bring their entire family to the Turks and Caicos to celebrate the wedding they always dreamed of!

Involving their adult children in the wedding day festivities was a priority for Liz and Erik because they were blending two families together. Liz made sure the girls were together getting their hair and makeup done while Erik enjoyed some chill time with the guys.  We started with photos of the kids having some fun, and then focused our attention on Erik and the guys together with their white linen shirts and sunglasses.  Of course, all of these images included the crystal blue ocean backdrop. Villa Samsara is known for its beautiful infinity pool and bridge.  This area was a perfect location for all of the pre-wedding photos. In fact, it was the perfect spot for the “first look”, the moment when Liz and Erik saw each other for the first time and walked together to see their smiling children.

This wedding was all about keeping things casual. In fact, this bride and groom did their pre-wedding photos in bare feet. They held hands and walked along the beautiful pathways of the villa laughing and enjoying the private time together. The kids sat together in the living room laughing and relaxing before the ceremony.

The wedding ceremony was on the beach which provided beautiful privacy for what was an emotion-filled wedding ceremony. All the children looked on as Liz and Erik said their personalized vows.  After the ceremony everyone stayed on the beach celebrating and having fun with a flower petal toss and then lots of group photos.  The light was just right for creating romantic and natural photos of the bride and groom walking along the beach and smiling from ear-to-ear. We ended the night with twilight photos on the bridge and a champagne toast and dancing. This special wedding was definitely worth the wait!!!
