Cayman Islands Real Wedding :: Jenny and Josiah

I was so happy to receive this wedding to share with all of you.  The couple is gorgeous, the details are beautiful and I just plain love this wedding.  Looking at the photos I could feel the joy during this day and there are so many romantic aspects, what’s not to love?  Also, and I just have to throw this in there…these two HAD A RAIN BACKUP!!!   Thank you, very much!

Since Jenny and Josiah had previously lived in Cayman, the decision to marry here was easy.  They wanted to share all of the things they love about Cayman with their family and what better time to do that then at their wedding!  The couple incorporated local bougainvillea into their ceremony decor with the beautifully decorated chuppah to give the decor some local flavor.

This lovely couple had planned to be married outside on the deck of the Cracked Conch, but Mother Nature had other plans.  They moved their ceremony inside, however, when it was ready for cocktails and dancing, the skies had cleared!

Oh, did I mention they  had my favorite color scheme??   Aqua and orange…I just love it!

Everyone finished off the night dancing under the stars!!!

Cayman Islands Engagement Shoot

After becoming engaged, many couples have engagement photos taken.  Some use them to announce their engagement, some to try out a photographer and some, just for fun.  The twist on today’s shoot is this…this gorgeous couple lives in Grand Cayman and they were leaving the island.  Not yet engaged, they wanted to capture some memories of their favorite spots and hired David Wolfe to do that for them.  Little did she know, this engagement shoot would end with…an engagement!!!

Seven Mile Beach is a “must” for any location shoot.  This couple chose Snooze Lane for their piece of Seven Mile.  (Don’t you just love the name, Snooze Lane??)

Coconut Joes is where they first met, so of course this location was meaningful to them. 

Last location, Camana Bay–there are so many little nooks in Camana Bay–perfect for any photo shoot!

Congratulations you two!!!!!  What a great way to start the rest of your lives together!

Cayman Islands Real Wedding :: Judith and Pete

I came across this wedding on David Wolfe’s blog the other day.  Everyone in the photos just seemed like they were having the BEST time and I loved the elegant look of all of the details. 

The couple were married at the Ritz Carlton on Seven Mile Beach in Grand Cayman.  The team at the Ritz Carlton joined up with Celebrations to pull off this beautiful affair!

After the sunset ceremony, the couple and their guests dined poolside under the stars and danced the night away to the musical stylings of Suite Elite!

Cayman Islands Real Wedding :: Natalie and Matthew

Hi everyone!  Sorry for the quietness yesterday…was feeling very under the weather and had to get some rest.  Back today, though and have a fantastic real wedding of Natalie and Matthew! 

The colors of the wedding were sea glass inspired light green and blue and no detail was left to chance.  Even the bride’s beautiful necklace was coordinated with the sea colors. 

When speaking with Natalie, she told me the color palate inspired everything–from flowers to decor and even the guest’s attire.  To keep in line with the themed color palate, they had touches of starfish to complete the beach look.

For the ceremony, the couple enjoyed the music of Kate Allenger of Cayman Violin and also had a sand ceremony to illustrate their unity.   The reception was around the pool area at the Westin–absolutely beautiful.  Tables were dressed with blue orchids, green napkins and starfish.  Even the cupcake tower was appropriately themed.

As the sun set over the horizon, the couple danced their first dance…can you think of anything more romantic??

Cayman Islands Real Wedding :: Angela and Andre

It was a beautiful day with beautiful people and beautiful, simple details.  This intimate wedding was held on Seven Mile Beach during one of our Cayman cold fronts (um…that means it was about 72 degrees) earlier this year.  You can see the band all bundled at the end of the evening…brrr! 

First, I have to confess, burnt orange calla lilies are one of my favorite flowers–especially when coupled with something light green.  So, when I saw these photos I couldn’t resist sharing.

Second, I’ve said it before, but you just cannot beat Seven Mile Beach.  I challenge you.  You can’t do it.  The water is crystal clear, the sunsets are magical and the sand is so white and fine it’s like walking on powder.

Last, but certainly not least, the reception.  The group had a lovely dinner at Morgan’s Harbour with musical stylings of Hi Tide.  You can see things got a little windy and chilly (well, it’s all relative, isn’t it), but everyone still had a fantastic time!!

Cayman Islands Real Wedding :: Shannon and Ben, Part 2

Well, if you are not in a hammock reading a book by now, enjoy some more from Shannon and Ben’s Little Cayman wedding!!

Little Cayman is such a lovely place to explore, full of little nooks and fun surprises!  The chosen method of transportation is a bicycle (see below!) and I couldn’t think of a more perfect place for a Trash the Dress session.  When you are in Little Cayman, it is customary to find a piece of driftwood and paint it–however you want!  Little Cayman Beach Resort will give you the paints and then hang your piece of art work up for you!  Shannon and Ben’s driftwood is shown below.

So, do you get it that I am in love with Little Cayman?????

Cayman Islands Real Wedding :: Shannon and Ben

We’re on a Little Cayman kick this week so we thought we’d share another Little Cayman beach wedding with you today!  Shannon and Ben got married at Little Cayman Beach Resort (featured here) with their family and friends surrounding them.  Well, them and Hurricane Ida…she wasn’t an invited guest.

David Wolfe shared these photos with us and I felt it was such a great example of what Little Cayman can offer you.  If you follow me on Twitter, the other day, when introducing you to the Little Cayman Beach Resort, I tweeted “All you need is your dive gear, a good book and a wedding dress.”  So true, so true.

Back with more soon….relaxed yet??

Cayman Islands Real Wedding :: Jen and Jeff, Part 2

Thanks for coming back to see and read more about Jen and Jeff’s Cayman Islands wedding!  You saw the beautiful ceremony venue, the Cayman Castle and now we take you to the reception venue, The Lighthouse. 

I asked the happy couple what the most memorable moment of their day was and they said “Everything!!  The entire day was like living out a dream you had imagined for your entire life.  We were blessed with beautiful weather, gorgeous scenery and lucky enough to be surrounded by our families.  The day was capped off by yummy canapes, champagne and an incredible dinner at the Lighthouse Restaurant. ”

I love the cupcakes (well, I love any cupcake, really, but I think the embellishment is so cute!!)

Cayman Islands Real Wedding :: Jen and Jeff

Today we are featuring the absolutely beautiful, yet simple wedding of Jen and Jeff.  The couple were married on the East end of Grand Cayman at the unique venue, the Cayman Castle.  And, well…I’m going to let the photos speak for themselves.

One of the terms Jen used to describe her day was “picture perfect”.  I’d say so!! 

This gorgeous venue you are seeing is the Cayman Castle.  A one-of-a-kind venue Jen, Jeff and their guests all stayed at the Castle (and guesthouse) and the ceremony was held on the beach below.

To welcome guests, Jen and Jeff had a welcome dinner at the Castle, catered by Mise En Place.  What a way to start the festivities…great food, great views and, of course great company!!

More from Jen and Jeff in a little while!

Cayman Islands Real Wedding :: Kim and Todd

Two words come to mind for today’s Cayman Islands real wedding…beautiful simplicity.  I’ve always said some of my favorite weddings are the ones that are the most simple and this one just takes the cake (no pun intended!).  Kim and Todd were married in Little Cayman, the smallest of the three Cayman Islands.  If you have not been there, it really is a relaxing treat were doors are still left unlocked, bikes are used on the honor system and no matter where you are from, you immediately feel like family!

Kim and Todd were married, just the two of them, on Owen Island (a tiny sand island off of Little Cayman).  Owen Island is breathtaking and in my opinion, one of the most romantic places in the world!  What a fabulous place for an intimate wedding!!!  They stayed at the Southern Cross Club where they also had dinner by candle light (and tiki torch). 

One special touch  I absolutely loved was her bouquet.  It was made by Brigitte Kasa and each flower was handpicked from her garden.  Talk about local flair!! 

How did they top off the evening?  The groom won a fireworks display in a contest he entered, so as they cut the cake the fireworks went off!!!  How amazing!!

Thank you Kim and Todd for sharing your special day with us!  We wish you all the best for the future and look forward to welcoming you back to Cayman soon!!
