Miriam & Erick Destination Wedding | Turks & Caicos Islands

Weddings are truly magical.

They are even more so when friends are the ones getting married. And did I mention doing so on an island paradise to boot?

We have known Erick for years, having worked on many projects with him on Trapezeworld gigs. Here he was with the greatest catch of his life (and as a flying trapeze artist and rigger, that is saying something) — his amazing partner, Miriam!

The place was the Turks & Caicos Islands (TCI) and the resort was Club Med’s Turkoise. It was a place filled with memories: Erick had worked as a G.O. there for a small portion of his life and had met his best man Graham there. Miriam had vacationed there (otherwise known as a G.M.) and loved it!

Friends and family poured in from all over the world: Hong Kong, Canada, U.S. were the places most represented. They celebrated Miriam and Erick’s life journey. Our part in the story began with the rehearsal dinner, complete with white sand, BBQ, Calypso drums and perfect weather. A very special moment was shared by all when Graham, Alain and Aryan played live music for their friends. It brought everyone together to bask in the warm glow of friendship and song.

The wedding day was gorgeous. We ran around the beach and pier to capture a little of this island paradise. The ceremony was heartfelt with their friend Aryan being the officiant. The dinner was a relaxing moment of speeches, table toasting, cake and dancing. The bouquet toss, though, was a little unusual. They shared it with all the guests of Turkoise in the main theater. Kerry caught the bouquet — well done, Kerry!

The next day Miriam and Erick had a trash the dress session. Miriam, being the “CIA” operative that she is, flew on the flying trapeze, played tennis and climbed a roof top!

Erick juggled and then ran to keep up 🙂 Erick then did leg lifts with Miriam — see, still CIA — and we ended on the beach. Finally, wedding clothes were traded for beach attire. Friends sang, played music and laughed with the setting sun. It could not have been a more picture perfect weekend.

A big hug to everyone!
