The Turks & Caicos Islands are a playground for the rich and famous for a reason! The color of the water, the sand of the pristine beaches, and the friendly and vibrant local culture combine to form the stuff dreams are made of. Celebrities Kate Moss, Matt Damon, Howard Stern, and Bill Gates have vacationed there (to name a few!), while Jerry Seinfeld and Eva Longoria both spent their respective honeymoons on the Islands. Jennifer Garner + Ben Affleck even married there in 2005!
So guess what Matt said when he was asked to travel to T&C to photograph a wedding?
Meet Tawni & Dennis:
Bonita Springs locals who wanted nothing but the best to celebrate their special day!
Adorable, right?
Wedding planner Along Came Stephanie knew that every detail would matter for this special couple, and MAN! did she knock it out of the park with the invitations and Welcome Kits!
Upon arriving in the Islands, Matt joined the couple for a sunset cruise - complete with turquoise water and rainbow - yes, seriously!
After a gorgeous afternoon on the water, it was early to bed, early to rise for the wedding day :)
The couple selected Long Bay Beach's The Shore Club as the site to celebrate
Doesn't Tawni look SO happy helping her daughter get ready? We love love!!
Tawni was ready, and Dennis was standing by to marry the love of his life.
At the last moment, the ceremony was moved indoors to prevent an interruption due to weather - but it was such a small issue, because they were getting MARRIED!!!
We love seeing our couples SO happy!
Gorgeous place for a wedding, right?
The Shore Club was just as perfect for the reception dinner.
The newlyweds danced the night away, surrounded by their closest family & friends...nothing to listen to but the ocean waves, the island music, and the beating of they hearts... ::le sigh::
All in all, we'd say it was a pretty awesome trip - wouldn't you?
