Caribbean Wedding Photography – Harbour Island

I had the amazing privilege to shoot a gorgeous wedding in Harbour Island, Bahamas. Sarah and John researched Caribbean Wedding Photographers and decided that we fit best to tell their story. So we hopped on a plane to Miami, hopped on another plane to Grand Bahamas and then again to Eleuthera and finally a water taxi to Harbour Island. There are no cars on Harbour Island? Really…. So we hired a Golf Cart and joined this amazing family for the beginning of an amazing weekend. Sarah and John were staying at Ocean View Club and were under the amazing care of Ben Simmons. I cannot say enough about how Sarah and John and their family welcomed Gary and I and were so easy to shoot because of their relaxed and laid back attitude that continued through the whole weekend. This is one of my favourite shots as we were driving around, this old garage door painted so vibrantly and yes they were game to just sit on the tarmac to “get the shot”.
The boys looked awesome in their ties.

Sarah made sure she had her Jimmy Choo shoes and I couldnt resist hanging them from this awesome carving. The ceilings and floors were all wood and everything is painted so colourful.

The bridal party having a blast. Had I lost control here?

Okay so like I said they were pretty much game for everything. To get the jumping shot I had to get in the water completely up to my waist! It was ‘refreshing” 🙂

The bridesmaids bouquets were cut from the tree that morning and wrapped in matching linen cloth. So simple but so elegant!

The church was so quaint and the trees everywhere were amazing!

This is really how we got around. Except the bride and groom had a “Just Married” sign, complete with coconuts.

That night after the dinner, they walked down the steps to the beach where Ben and his team set up an incredible beach bonfire. They had made a path out of paper bags filled with sand and tea lights. The bonfire was huge and when the music and dancing started everyone was in amazement as the sky was filled with stars.

I love this shot! They were such good sports!

Okay this was brilliant. We waited a little for the birds to land and then Sarah and John just took off running and the birds were an amazing backdrop.

Then for Trashing the dress the next day.
