Bahamas Wedding Photography

      A note from the Bride....

I stumbled upon Glen’s website a year before I was even engaged and it was a complete accident. I read every page of advice to brides, and I previewed every couple’s slideshow. Each time I watched a couple’s story being told through Glen’s photos, I felt like I too had been there. I felt the excitement that each bride felt, the sadness of the fathers of the brides as they walked their daughters down the aisle, and the nerves of some of the grooms as they waited for their brides. It just brought me to tears! As the photos progressed, I saw the couples fall in love all over again, and yet what was so amazing was the way in which each photo was captured…You see, as a destination bride, your surroundings are equally as important as the man you are standing next to, because there was a reason why each couple chose to be married in the location they did.

That is the beauty of Glen’s work—he has the artistic ability to not only tell a story through the camera, but also to incorporate the scenic landscape into that story as well.

As I look at my own slideshow and I have the opportunity to come full circle; from viewing other couple’s days to seeing my own, as was told through Glen’s eyes, I can’t help but be moved to the same tears that I shared as I saw all of the other couples. I can see every feeling I had, and every feeling my husband had. I cannot believe as I look at my pictures now, that each time I see them I can feel the way I felt when each one was taken. What a gift Glen has given to me, and all of his other clients. The moments he has captured and the story his pictures tell will be mine forever, even if our memories may fade, his work will live on and consistently tell the story of November 7th, 2009.
Glen, thank you so much for your beautiful work,

Interested in planning something REALLY different
for your Bahamas wedding?

The Robinson Carusoe Wedding Package!

Have you ever dreamed of being stranded on a deserted island?

If you've watched the 2nd version of Pirates of the Caribbean, you'll remember the area where the pirates were fighting over the chest containing Davy Jones' heart. Remember the shallow blue-green water with miles of silky soft white coral sand? Well it really does exist, and yes, the sand really does feel silky soft. In real life, the place is called Sandy Cay (Key) just a 30 min boat ride off Great Exuma. In fact, there are literally hundreds of small Cay's like that where you could plan your own wedding on a pristine wild beach with nobody else in sight - unless you count a few Iguana's or the occasional plane flying high overhead.

Here's a wedding idea for the adventurous couple...

You and your fiance could be "shipwrecked" on a lonely beach all by yourselves. Of course you wouldn't exactly be roughing it. Your beach would already be set up with a beautiful tent and sufficient supplies to enjoy the night. Before leaving you alone, your delivery crew (and yes you can call them Pirates if you want) would set you up with a bottle of wine and a fabulous catered meal to enjoy as you watch the sun set.

Your beach shelter could range from rustic to totally lavish 5 star depending on your taste.

The next morning, your hair and makeup crew would arrive to help with dressing, then our crew will set up your ceremony right there on the beach before your guests and the minister arrive.

After the ceremony, everyone will ride the boat back to Stocking Island for a reception at a totally Bahamian beach bar called the "Chat N Chill". After a nice meal and a few Kalik beers, a local band or DJ can play some dance tunes. After the festivities are over, your guests would take a 5 min boat ride back to Exuma where there is a selection of hotels for every taste ranging from simple to extremely elegant.

Why am I suggesting all this?

Well of course it's because I'm hoping you'll need a photographer to capture it all.

How do you make it all happen?

Well you could start by hiring a good photographer of course :)

Kwanza (the one in the pink hat on the slideshow) and her friends can work with you to create any sort of wedding you might dream up - even if it's not quite so adventurous as the Robinson Carusoe package I've mentioned here.

If you can't get an email from her just be patient, the internet is very temperamental there on the island.

See you at the beach,

Glen
