Kevin was so patient and attentive all day for the wedding. He went out of his way to make sure he got the best pictures and angles. His work is absolutely PHENOMENAL. By far the best photographer we have ever used.

Questions about the venue
What makes the flying dress effect possible at this venue?+
The estate's elevated cliff position and northern exposure to the Caribbean's trade winds create consistent air currents ideal for dramatic fabric movement.
Can we combine flying dress photos with a ceremony or reception?+
Yes. The estate accommodates intimate ceremonies for 20-40 guests in the garden pavilion, with a separate reception area that holds up to 150. Flying dress sessions typically run 2-3 hours and can be scheduled as part of a full wedding day.
What is the best time of year to book?+
November through April offers the strongest and most consistent winds. December-January brings dry, sunny conditions. Summer months (June-October) still permit shoots but with lighter, less predictable wind patterns.
Is accommodation available on-site?+
The main estate offers 6 guest suites. Additional accommodations are arranged through partner resorts within 10-15 minutes of the property.
What is included in a flying dress photoshoot package?+
Packages include venue access, professional wardrobe styling consultation, hair/makeup services, photography direction by certified coordinators, and access to all 8.5 acres. Digital gallery delivery typically follows within 10 business days.
