Tradition and Style

Posted by Ileana Ravasio

Having a Destination Wedding doesn’t mean leaving your traditions at home. Cara and David Berkowitz celebrate their union following every step of the Jewish Traditions: from the ceremony time to the Chuppah, from the Kettubah to the Mazel Tov, from the Hava Nagila to the Hora.

Every single detail was displayed to perfection and I had a wonderful time capturing all of them.

The event took place at The Somerset resort – a big thankyou goes to Katrina York, the wedding planner.

Kerrys and Leland – The Wedding

Posted by Ileana Ravasio

15th December 2007: Mr and Mrs Hensch are married!

Leland and Kerrys exchanged their vows on Grace Bay beach and hosted an amazing reception at the fabulous Villa Stargazer.

I shoot plenty of weddings, every single one very special, but I have to admit that I never heard so many compliments and pleased words from the couple’s guests (especially after the fireworks display – Leland, you may want to give a couple of suggestions to the people that organize the 4th of July celebration!).

It’s family time

Posted by Ileana Ravasio

It’s Christmas time and the family spirit is stronger than ever… What a great opportunity to capture some stunning pictures!

I absolutely loved taking Kathy, Curt, Grace and Ryan to a secluded beach (Taylor Bay) and play with them. The are so cute I think they could be the perfect models for a JCrew catalogue.

Bobbie-Lynn, Simon and?!?

Posted by Ileana Ravasio

There are a few things in life that automatically put a smile on your face: joyful kids playing, a big present, a bunch of colorful flowers, spotting a dolphin and the gorgeous belly of a pregnant woman. The magic of bringing a child to the light and discover the miracle of life is unique: Bobbie-Lynn and Simon know the value of this moment and captured it with some fun pictures.

Fashion Show at The Somerset on Grace Bay

Posted by Chris Mann

Last Friday, Kellie and I covered the second Fashion Show at The Somerset on Grace Bay.

The first one was held outdoors in the daytime last June, but this time the organizers decided to hold it at O’Soleil restaurant in the evening. We brought our studio lights to help us capture the event. Space was a little tight (we were shooting in amongst the tables set up for the guests) but I think we got some cool pictures.

Pirates of The Turks & Caicos – The Legend of the Black Conch

Posted by Chris Mann

Pantomime is back! Two years ago, the Turks & Caicos Friends of the Arts Foundation staged TCI’s first-ever Christmas pantomime, “A Caribbean Cinderella”, written and directed by John Garvin – and ever since islanders have been asking “When’s the next one?”

So this year John and the team have created a new show with an original script, based on the pirate history of these islands in the 1700s – but in the true panto tradition, packed with jokes, songs, dance, spectacle, and fun for all the family. Read the rest of this entry »

The Platypus Video Workshop comes to Turks & Caicos!

Posted by Chris Mann

Last week we learned a lot! For eight days, Andy, Preston, David and myself were barraged with ideas, techniques, tips, tricks, and best practice – in the world of “video journalism”.

Renowned photojournalists Dirck Halstead and PF Bentley brought their “Platypus Workshop” to our Neptune Plaza office to turn the four of us into “filmmakers” – in other words to teach us how to transform our wedding and commercial video productions into professional video documentaries, with the style and impact of TV shows such as NBC’s 60 Minutes and ABC’s Nightline.
