Doing more than we should – it’s fun!

Posted by Andy Mann

Sanchez_frntSonia had been in email contact with us before they arrived in Turks and Caicos and had already “traded up” from a basic photo shoot at the resort to a shoot at a more remote and private beach.

While the beach in front of most of the resorts in Turks and Caicos cannot be described as “busy”, using one of our “secret” locations always adds a little extra something.

However chatting with them I discovered that they had not really had a chance to “see” the island so far – so we made a plan to add in some “local “attractions along the way – we call this our “Island Escape”. Now don’t tell anyone I did this because we are supposed to charge more for this!

Beautiful beach belly !

Posted by Andy Mann

Hartwig_frntLast week it was wonderful to meet Gus and Brittany who were taking a few days off at the wonderful Grace Bay Estates to celebrate their upcoming new baby.

With a little one at home already, they took a brief trip to get some “R and R” before the new arrival in a few weeks – sensible decision!!

In only a matter of a few minutes – quick, easy, fun, we had some wonderful moments of just “the three of them” !!!!

Lydia & James Perry

Posted by David Gallardo

Perry_056smallLydia and James Perry came to the Turks & Caicos to celebrate their wedding anniversary and for such a special occasion they decided to do a beach photo session with us.

For the first part we did some photos around the beautiful gardens of the Seven Stars where I had a great time finding some really cool locations.

Just half an hour before sunset we arrived on a very quiet Grace Bay beach, where Lydia and James enjoyed a couple of glasses of champagne as part of their portrait session and had some photos taken  until it got dark.

Tanya and Paul at Nikki Beach – the movie

Posted by Chris Mann

Gordon_thumbA few weeks ago Kellie posted some of the great photos that she and Anita shot at the wedding of Tanya and Paul Gordon at Nikki Beach – now it’s the movie department’s turn!

We’re following on behind because it’s always a slower process editing a movie than it is working with stills – not because it’s harder necessarily but just because it’s a much more time-consuming process reviewing the clips, deciding which ones to use, cutting them to fit with music, grading the color, and so on. Anyway, here we have the finished result… Read the rest of this entry »

The Wedding of Jennifer and Tom at Royal West Indies

Posted by Ileana Ravasio

Kraft_240rcThe first love is never forgotten… they were high-school sweethearts, then college lovers and finally husband and wife. What a beautiful couple Jennifer and Tom make!

Obviously the wedding, hosted on the beach at Royal West Indies and perfectly organized by Estelle from Nila Destinations, was the highlight of the trip, but Jennifer and Tom made the best of their vacation truly exploring the Turks and Caicos Islands, discovering hidden spots that are often known only by the locals.

We never stop learning… engage09 conference

Posted by Andy Mann

engage-frntLearning is a fundamental part of Tropical Imaging. It’s part of our DNA. We love new techniques, new ideas, new ways of doing things whether it’s in Photoshop, with the camera or on a bigger scale using multimedia and movies to tell your story. Aside from the technical “how can we do it better” side of the company we also have the marketing and “business side” and I recently went to the Cayman Islands to attend engage09 – a small but powerful wedding conference with some of the top people in the industry. What did I learn? Who did I see and meet?

Dinah & Jonathan at West Bay Club

Posted by Kellie Hayes

Lehmann_Sm

On Friday I finally met Dinah and Jonathan at The West Bay Club. We had been in touch for a few months before the wedding, getting to know each other, Dinah would send me emails of photos that she might like to try or photos from a blog that she really liked and hoped that I could capture, and of course any input is always welcome, it’s YOUR day!  I love when Brides let me know specific photos they like, it helps me figure out who they are….. romantic, fun and energetic, traditional, sentimental or all of the above.  Read the rest of this entry »
