Bob’s mum contacted us and asked me to photograph Leah and Bob’s wedding at the Marriott Beach Resort. Unfortunately, the bride and groom’s families were not able to join them, but they wanted some keepsakes from the ceremony on stunning Seven Mile Beach.

It was so rewarding for me to receive this litte note from the happy couple.

Hello Melissa,

We cannot be any happier with the way the pictures turned out!! Your photography is a true masterpiece! Thank you again for your work and spending our wedding with us as well:) We love the ones with the sunset and the ones in the garden are amazing as well.  Thank you again and we will definitely be returning to the Caymans!

Leah and Bob

 

Paris was her name. Bringing with her from icy north an incredibly happy entourage. All ready to have fun, party, enjoy a perfect day. John and Paris have now three children between them. One of my favourite parts of a wedding is when the children are involved. With the steel drums setting the tropical pace, it was a day without flaw! congratulations John & Paris. Your family and friends really know how to have a great time.

Jodie and Shawn had the dream of getting married on the beach. What better beach can you get than the one outside of The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman?

They were such a fun couple to work with. Shawn has a Batman logo inside his wedding band, which Jodie had engraved as a surprise for him.

and the cake… the beach chairs are too cute.  The Ritz-Carlton has a talented pastry chef with creativity and every cake is always unique.

Above is when Jodie revealed the Batman logo on the inside of Shawn’s wedding ring.  It was a special moment and we all laughed about how surprised and delighted he was.

I am very grateful that I was able to photograph Sancia & Jurell wedding as well at the super fun Trash the Dress Session, which you can see below this post.

The wedding venue of choice was the beautiful setting at the Grand Old House. It was a heart warming ceremony and their friends were a fun bunch to party with.

Kristina and Dan exchanged their vows while the sun was setting over Seven Mile Beach at the Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman.

The set up at the beach was beautiful and once the sun was down; the lighting, the stars and the moon created the most romantic setting for Kristina and Dan’s reception with close friends and family.

LIfe sweetens when people like the Rockwells unexpectedly come into your life….

It’s a GREAT STORY….

Francesca and Nick came to Caribbean Club, Grand Cayman to plan their wedding with a few other members of the Rockwell clan. They decided to get married within the week!

AND…Talk about supporting local vendors:
Arabus – the wedding dress
The Cabana (Lily Pulitzer) – girl’s dresses
NKY – the men’s outfits
Havaiana Store – all new flip flops
Island Companies – the wedding rings
Celebrations – flowers and decor
Plenty of Moet, which I was happy to accept after we wrapped the shoot.

After their ceremony, the went for dinner at Hemmingways at Grand Cayman Beach Suites. Ed Solomon (of Arabus) was playing, he is a great musician and very well loved.

Happiness and Kindness Abounds…
I see a long and happy future….










During the time Rachel and Brett were in Cayman to be married, we were experiencing quite the ‘Nor’Wester’ along Seven Mile Beach. It sure does make for exciting photos have the waves mixing up the various shades of blue along the sand. Eugenio played the harp for them during the ceremony and when they said “I do”, it was followed by grand applause by those watching.
They are both from South America and we were amazed at how much the accents are like local Caymanian accents. At first…. we were sure it was a Cayman wedding.






Overlooking the sea, under the draped gazebo, Amanda and Joshua said “I do”. Everyone was always smiling, especially the bride and groom. Her super high heels did not stop her from climbing on the iron shore during the sunset for some couple portraits. After that, everyone had fun, enjoying a great dinner at Grand Old House. Amanda and Joshua went to stay a few days at the Ritz-Carlton, where they phoned us from after we delivered their photos…. thrilled with everything. They were still smiling when we spoke!









Alecia and Brian smiled and laughed… A LOT… even both their parents were having a good time, not stressed over the big day. There were so many cool things I remember about their day. The playlist on the iPod bringing us everything from the Beatles and Johnny Cash to the more recently hip. Brian and Alecia were in different rooms at the Caribbean Club and had nice gifts delivered to each other right before the ceremony.
The next morning… we did a Trash the Dress session on the beach and into the pool… pics to come…










For Euan and Chifonda…. all the paparazzi were out working hard. They were so sweet asking if they were getting in the way, moving when needed and really being a part of the whole experience. It was like being at a celebrity wedding. It was fun, which is why the paparazzi photo below is included.
Photographing a couple’s special day is something we value highly. Capturing the special memory is something we are always grateful to be a part of. We know everyone with a camera is feeling the same way and we are happy to share the fun!
Chifonda and the girls all got ready at the Beachcomber, right on Seven Mile Beach, then they headed over to Grand Cayman Beach Suites for the beach ceremony. The make up for all the girls was so well done and Chifonda’s girlfriends were so attentive to getting her ready.
Euan was relaxed, proud and confident to see his bride. Who wouldn’t be??? She looked amazing. Euan is also a professional photographer (on the other side of the lens for this one)… and when I checked out his website, I was impressed by the quality of his work.
