Turks and Caicos Photographers
Want to book a photoshoot during your vacation? Whether you're planning a personal photoshoot, a family portrait session, a maternity shoot, or a wedding or proposal, there are several award-winning photography studios that can provide you with a beautiful gallery of images to take home.
The best Turks and Caicos photographers can introduce you to incredible photo locations rarely seen and experienced by visitors and provide a fresh take on classic spots. Surrounded by incredibly turquoise water and home to truly world-class beaches, Turks and Caicos is rife with natural beauty that the country's top photographers have spent decades capturing.
Local photographers can work on location at your resort or villa or can recommend a beach setting, depending on your vision and the type of shoot. Many are also available for commercial photography and event photography.
Specialty Photoshoots
Hiring a Photographer
The best Turks and Caicos photographers often book up well in advance (especially for weddings). The tourism high season between December and April is one of the busiest times of the year for local photographers, so plan accordingly if you'll be visiting at this time. When possible, studios are often happy to accommodate last-minute requests if they have availability.
A few large resorts, such as Beaches and Club Med Turkoise, have in-house photographers and videographers who specialize in wedding, proposal, honeymoon, and portrait photography.
Every local studio and photographer has their own style. Before booking, schedule a consultation and browse their online gallery and albums to see if their style matches your vision. If you want spectacular ocean images, for example, book a Turks and Caicos photographer who specializes in underwater photography.
Weddings and Honeymoons
Great wedding photographers can be found right here in the Turks and Caicos Islands. Many have won awards and have had their work featured in leading global magazines and digital publications, such as Brides, Condé Nast Traveller, WeddingWire, and The Knot. They cater to everything from large destination weddings to elopements, micro-weddings, and surprise proposals.
Nearly all wedding photographers in Turks and Caicos are located on Providenciales. They are often willing to travel to other islands for work, but at additional cost. The local wedding photographers can book weddings 8 months or more in advance—contact them early to ensure availability. A deposit is typically required to reserve your date.
Wedding Videography
Some photography studios provide videography themselves or work closely with wedding videographers whom they can recommend or hire on your behalf.
Trash the Dress Photoshoot
Looking for a second occasion to wear your wedding dress? Try a trash the dress photoshoot, a trend where couples take an ocean swim in the clothes they got married in. Many of these shoots happen near Grace Bay Beach, the country's top coastline and a stunning backdrop for weddings, honeymoons, vow renewals, and other events celebrating love.
Portrait Sessions
Turks and Caicos is a great place to update your family portraits or do a couples photoshoot. Most portrait sessions take place right on Grace Bay Beach.
Portrait photographers in Turks and Caicos typically bill by the hour, with prices starting at around $600 per hour (2026 price) for a resort shoot. Some also have special packages that visit more secluded beaches and include transportation and multiple outfit changes.
The best time to book a portrait session is in the early morning or shortly before sunset. Not only is the natural lighting best at these times, but the temperature tends to be more pleasant (especially for family photoshoots with young children or seniors).
Secret Proposals
In addition to documenting your engagement, some local photographers can arrange a romantic display with flowers, decorative arches, candles, and a cold spark machine on the beach as the backdrop for your proposal. The Bight Beach, Leeward Beach, and Taylor Bay are nice beaches for surprise proposals, as they generally see fewer people than Grace Bay Beach.
Maternity Photos
There's an endless list of beautiful locations for maternity photos on and near Providenciales that you can explore on your babymoon or family vacation, from the sophisticated suites and manicured grounds of the luxury hotels to the idyllic coastlines of the nearby uninhabited cays (like Water Cay, Pine Cay, and Half Moon Bay Beach). These shoots are a great way to remember your vacation and document your pregnancy in a picturesque setting.
Clear Kayak Photoshoots
Overhead clear kayak photos and videos taken by drones have become very popular in the Turks and Caicos thanks to social media.
Drone photography is offered by several companies, including both the clear kayak tour guides as well as photographers who specialize in clear kayak and aquatic lifestyle photoshoots. Many shoots take place less than 20 feet (6 m) off the beach, and don't require any paddling or significant exercise. Prices start at around $160 per person for 30 minutes.
Editorial and Commercial Photography
The Turks and Caicos has served as the backdrop for editorial photos and magazine covers for publications like Sports Illustrated, Vogue, Elle, and Harper's Bazaar.
Fashion shoots are available through several of the local photographers. They can recommend caterers, hair stylists and makeup artists, and other vendors for larger shoots.
Some photographers are also available to capture corporate events, corporate retreats, and real estate.
Underwater Photoshoots
Underwater and over-under (split photos that are half above and half below the ocean's surface) photoshoots are offered by a few local photographers. These interesting shots are popular with trash the dress sessions, as well as for visitors trying freediving and other water sports.
Underwater photography is notoriously difficult, so having a professional with the right equipment on hand will give you the best chance of getting beautiful ocean shots.
Private Charter Photography
Consider booking a combination yacht charter and photoshoot—these private packages are put together by the photographer and boat charter company, and allow you to visit many incredible locations across the secluded cays and beaches around Providenciales.
These photoshoots are perfect for illustrating actual stories of your visit to the archipelago. There’s a great collection of sunset charters and private charters available, including trips aboard romantic sailboats and luxury yachts.
