Not necessarily. It depends on the coverage of your wedding package. On the island, wedding photography typically runs from about $1,500 for a short ceremony or elopement to $7,000 or more for full-day coverage from getting ready through the reception. Our wedding photography starts at $1,500. What moves the price is hours of coverage, a second photographer, drone coverage and albums.

Your online gallery with all of your images is sent within two weeks for portrait sessions, and we often deliver ahead of schedule. Wedding galleries are typically delivered within two to three weeks. If you would like your photos sooner, we offer a rush service for an additional fee.

Yes, you receive all of the photos in your gallery from your portrait session. Typically that is between 70 and 100 photos, and may depend on the length of the session and the size of your group. Photos arrive through a private online gallery where you can view, download and share them.

Every photo is professionally processed for best exposure and color. Retouching beyond that is done on request, with your specific instructions, and free retouching comes with many of our products. The guides we send before your session help keep retouching to a minimum.

No. You have full rights to all the photos in your gallery.

Yes. Every session comes with our 100% satisfaction guarantee, and our products are made in the United States and carry a 100% quality guarantee.

We help you celebrate any occasion such as a babymoon, maternity, anniversary, birthday, proposal, engagement, honeymoon, or simply a vacation to remember with your partner!

It's a celebration of your teen's graduation, preparing for the next chapter of their life. It is becoming more and more popular to find unique locations for this type of session, no longer in a boring studio! Turks and Caicos is perfect!

Wear what you feel good in! Light, neutral or pastel colors photograph beautifully on the beach: whites, creams, tans, soft blues and light earth tones. All white, or white with khaki, is a classic. Coordinate rather than necessarily matching, and avoid large logos, neon colors and several competing patterns. Upon booking your photo session, we will send you a 15-page style guide that will give you helpful ideas to suit your personalities and create the look you want to feel your best.

Your photographer will provide gentle direction to guide you into creating flattering, elegant photos that still feel authentic, natural and relaxed, whether it's in posed positions or for more candid portraits.

The weather in Turks and Caicos is good year-round, with no rainy season like many destinations. Isolated showers often come and go very quickly. If it does rain, your photographer will be in direct contact with you an hour before the session should any changes need to be made, and we will work with you to reschedule to another day during your stay whenever possible.

We love photographing both mornings and evenings and each time of day has its own look.

Sunset: Your session starts about 45 minutes before sunset. You get rich water color, soft light and, depending on the conditions and location, striking sunset colors. It is also the coolest part of the day.

Morning and daytime: if you love bright turquoise water and lots of color, mornings are for you. Sessions feel more casual and lifestyle-like. Long Bay Beach faces east and is beautiful in the morning; Grace Bay is the classic sunset beach.

A member of the team will assist you with selecting the best time of day based on your group, your children's ages and things like dinner reservations.

About an hour for our resort or villa and paradise beach sessions, and an hour and a half for the All-Inclusive session. That is plenty of time for natural, candid moments as well as beautiful posed portraits.

We'll match you up with one of our friendly and talented photographers to ensure you have the best experience and get the most beautiful photos.

Our small team of photographers includes Christine Morden, James Roy and Alex Foster, as well as a couple of other experienced photographers trained in our style. Each is very knowledgeable in lighting, posing and in understanding how to get the best photos for your goal and the conditions of the day. At the start of the session, your photographer will talk through what you want.

A resort or villa session takes place where you are staying. A Paradise beach session is at a quieter beach, typically no more than 10-15 minutes away, with round-trip transportation for up to four people. Your photographer chooses the location that suits the weather that day. If you want fewer people in the background and the best sunsets, choose this option.

All beaches on Providenciales are public and there are several different access points along Grace Bay as well as on the south side of the island.

Your kids don't have to behave perfectly. We will meet them where they are at, and keep your session on track. Some children may have a shorter window of attention, so we plan the session to win early and keep it playful. Morning sessions often work best for families with young children.

Yes. We can share hair and makeup recommendations before your session if needed. Then you can arrange a professional artist to get you camera-ready.

Absolutely. We have many options from gift prints, 48-hour delivery of folios, to crystal blocks and duplicate parent albums.

We can help with that! Check out our photos on our social media! We keep our Instagram and Facebook pages fresh with new content.

Your curated online gallery is typically delivered within two to three weeks. We also schedule time to review your images with you and provide expert guidance for selecting favorites, albums, and artwork.

Yes. We have photographed weddings in Turks and Caicos since 2007 and understand the logistics, light and timing of beach weddings and island celebrations, and how to make the most of resorts, villas and private venues.

Every image is professionally processed and edited in our signature style for best exposure and color. Specialty retouching is available, along with custom-designed wedding albums and wall prints.

Every wedding is different. We help you choose the right coverage based on your plans, your priorities, and vision for the day, and we build a custom photo timeline so the meaningful moments are documented from beginning to end.

It depends on the size of your wedding and how much of the day you want covered. For larger celebrations or enhanced storytelling we may recommend two photographers. Drone photography can be added to any wedding package.

Yes. An engagement or pre-wedding session in Turks and Caicos helps you feel comfortable in front of the camera and get to know your photographer. It also gives you extra images in a relaxed island setting before the wedding day. Ask how to get a free engagement session with your wedding package!

From the photography perspective, they are the same. We capture the most important day in your life. A symbolic ceremony is for those who are completing their marriage documents in their home country while a Turks and Caicos legal wedding is where a local officiant will take care of those details here in the islands.

Yes, we will meet you before your wedding day! It's a great opportunity for you to ask any last minute questions, feel at ease with us, and go over the photography timeline. We schedule your pre-wedding meeting with us in advance.

When you've saved the date with us, your photographer is yours for the day, so feel free to add-on time either at the beginning or the end.

Absolutely. We specialize in turning your portraits into artwork for your home, office or giving the perfect gift.

We will let our clients answer that in their reviews: we have over 600 five star reviews! What we can tell you is that Paradise Photography has been named Business of the Year and is consistently awarded WeddingWire Couples' Choice winner, with features in POPSUGAR and Modern Weddings. We have been photographing here in Turks and Caicos since 2007. Meet the team.

Turks and Caicos is a one-of-a-kind destination with turquoise water and white sand, and you are only here for a few days. A professional knows the best spots, the light and the timing, guides you so you look natural, and delivers finished photos and artwork instead of a phone full of snapshots.

We have been taking portraits, weddings, and real estate photos since 2007.

Unless we agree otherwise in writing, we may use images from your session in our portfolio, website and social media. If you prefer to opt out, just tell us before your session. Details are in our privacy policy and terms.

Yes. Drone real estate photography is very popular and an excellent way to showcase the property's location, surrounding landscape, ocean views, and nearby amenities.

Yes. All of our property photography images are professionally edited for color balance, brightness, perspective correction, and overall polish while maintaining the home's natural and accurate appearance. Light retouching is included to remove unsightly wires or cables. We offer advanced retouching services for things like landscaping, smoothing sand, and more.

Professionally captured and edited high-resolution digital photos of the architecture, interiors and surrounding views, ready for MLS listings, booking platforms, websites, brochures and social media. Images are captured with ground-based still cameras or professional drone.

Most listings receive 20 to 40 professionally edited photos designed to showcase the property's best features. Real estate shoot durations can run from a half day through to multiple days, depending on the size of the property. Drone and twilight shoots take extra time and are worth it.

Preparation is important! Declutter, make the beds, remove personal items, clean the windows and open the curtains for natural light. We offer detailed preparatory tips in advance. If you want a more lived-in feel, we can recommend photo stylists for staging, from arranging pool loungers and towels to florals in the dining room and a styled kitchen. A well prepared space makes your property look bright, clean, and welcoming in photos.

You don't need to be present. We can coordinate access with your agent or property manager. We like to photograph under ideal conditions to best showcase the beautiful exterior views of the property. If the weather conditions aren't right we reschedule for when the weather improves to make sure the property looks its best.

Homes, condos, luxury estates, villas, vacation rentals and resorts. James Roy's real estate images have been featured on the cover of Christie's International Real Estate magazine. To book, send us the property address, size and preferred date.

Booking is simple. Contact us through our website with the property address, size, and preferred shoot date, and we'll schedule a convenient time for your real estate photography session.

Most couples book their wedding photographer 6 to 12 months ahead, especially for popular travel dates and sought-after resort or villa venues.

For portrait sessions, reach out as soon as you book your flights or hotel. The holiday season and summer are especially busy and many families reserve weeks or months in advance. Check your dates here.

It's easy! We send you a quote with our portrait options. Once you choose your session, you complete a short online contract so we have the details that help us get the best photos, then pay through a secure payment link. Your confirmation follows by email.

Your wedding is officially booked once we receive a signed agreement and deposit. After booking, we send helpful information to guide you through planning and prepare you for your photography experience. Start by scheduling a call with a member of the team by completing our online contact form, or email customerservice@myparadisephoto.com.

Yes. We come to any resort or villa on Providenciales, or take you to a special beach location. Most sessions last about an hour and are scheduled in the morning or around sunset. All beaches including Grace Bay Beach are public, so we can photograph on the beach in front of your resort.

Early in your trip. That leaves room to reschedule if the weather turns, and it avoids sunburns and tan lines. It also means your photos are done and you can simply enjoy the rest of your vacation.

Paradise Photography is centrally located on Providenciales, near Grace Bay and easily accessible to Long Bay and the whole island. We also service Grand Turk, South Caicos and the other islands. Sessions happen on location at your resort, villa or beach, and studio visits are by appointment.

Portraits, weddings, real estate, commercial and corporate events. Portrait sessions include families, couples, engagements, proposals, maternity and individual portraits. Many clients book during their vacation to mark a honeymoon, birthday, anniversary or graduation.

We will do our best to accommodate your circumstances. We are a small family run business and will work with you. Should you need to cancel your session, we will offer a refund, or you can re-schedule for your next trip.

Very. A proposal in Turks and Caicos usually happens on a beach at sunset and only lasts a few minutes, so a photographer is the best way to keep the moment alive and share it with others. We can photograph from an incognito position so she will have no idea what's coming. Afterwards, a relaxed session for the two of you captures the first photos as an engaged couple.

Yes. Honeymoon and anniversary sessions can include more than one location and outfit changes. Some couples even bring the wedding dress along for a beach session as newlyweds. We can also help arrange hair and makeup.
