British Invasion: Union Jack trend

I have been running into the union jack icon everywhere in the blogging network as of late.  I have unabashedly been collecting inspirations from here and there for the last few months.

Living in a British territory, we dwellers in the Turks and Caicos definitely have license to apply this trend!  This Caribbean porch was certainly succesful so why not?
I have been been meaning to get to my handpainted rug project started since last May, inspired by the fab photo above.  All of the above images could be great starting points for various projects but when I saw this:
I gasped as soon as I laid eyes on it! Less than 24 hours later I was busy transforming this $20 thrift shop purchased jute rug from used and abused to jolly jim dandy.

Can’t wait until I have a beachy white room to lay it out in!

Wed Day – Stephanie and Andy

Leave a reply
Last month I posted about the styling I did for the wedding of stephanie-and-andy and asked readers to stay posted for more pro photos to come from brilliant.  Not only do I have a few photos from their big day, but I also have a teaser from their sail provo boat trip aboard the 52ft Arielle.
There is no better way to enjoy Turks and Caicos azure seas then out on the open water.  What a great way to enjoy the time with family and friends.
Speaking of friends, Stephanie is lucky to have these sweethearts.  Each and every one of them were wonderful to be around.
The private elevated beach at footprints on the beach villa makes a beautiful platform for a wedding.
These floating lily lanterns needed to be photographed at just the right time to get these incredible reflections in the pool.  Nice job Brilliant!

Point Grace

Last week tropical imaging and I wrapped up an amazing shoot for Point Grace.  I was thrilled to be asked to style for this project as the property is quintessential Caribbean, one of the very few boutique hotels that stay elegantly true to their roots.  The tropical imaging photo and video crew and I met beforehand to brainstorm ideas on how to capture this beautiful hotel as graciously as she stands in person.  Here is the inspiration board I brought to the table.

Our intentions were to capture all the Caribbean charm that makes this boutique hotel unique from any other Turks and Caicos resort.  We are very pleased with all our efforts to bring a fresh perspective to Point Grace; see a small selection of the images here, the commercial here and the movie here.   My gratitude goes out to the lovely hotel staff who were accommodating to all our needs, to our gorgeous local models, and to Andrew, David, and Preston of the Tropical Imaging team.  I adore working with you all!
