A couple weeks ago I received a request from Crash Taylor, a very noteable photographer from the UK, to do an online interview for his blog. A couple days ago it was published and can be read by going to http://www.interviewsbycrashtaylor.com/2009/04/23/crash-taylor-interviews-grant-oakes/
Yesterday was my last dayof my trip to the Bahamas before I flew home and I wanted one more go at some images before the return trip so Shannon and Brody got back into their wedding clothes and we went back into the water in the lagoon at the Atlantis Resort in Nassau. We had such a blast. Below are a few of the images.
Finished with the wedding and day after shoot. Today we went to Dolphin Encounters on Blue Lagoon Island near Nassau and had a marvelous time. We’re going to go out one more time and try to get an underwater shot and then I head for the airport for the trip home. Below are a few images.
Today was the big day. We started with the bride and groom getting ready and they had their “Moment” at the French Cloisters, followed by a walk through the Diggs at Atlantis Resort. After that we took a ride on a catamaran around Paradise Island. Finally we went to Nygard Cay for the ceremony. Everything was simply perfect! Below are a few images.
This morning I took a few hours to do something I don’t get a chance to do often and that’s SCUBA dive. Went out on a 2 tank dive with Stuart Cove. Saw sharks, sting rays, Lion Fish and a couple of wrecks.
Shannon, Brody, David Beckstead and myself went to Nygard Cay to do a walk through in preparation for Wednesday’s wedding. The venue is far more spectacular than I had envisioned! Check back in a couple days for more about the wedding/workshop. Below are a few snap shots.
I was interviewed by another photographer, Crash Taylor, from the UK. Crash is an internationaly known photographer that does extraordinary work. He also does interviews with photographers all over the world who’s work he enjoys. Recently he has posted work from such well known photographers as David Beckstead, George Weir, Jules Bianchi, Jeff Ascough and Otto Schulze. My interview goes live on April 23rd.

In a couple of weeks I’ll be headed to the beautiful Bahama Islands for a wedding and workshop (see http://artandinspiration.com) with one of my good friends, David Beckstead. Shannon and Brody and I thought we should do a trial run with the underwater gear to test out settings and techniques before we go. We ironed out a few wrinkles and next week we’ll do another so when we do their wedding I’ll be able to really get some stunning images. Hopefully a couple magazine covers will come out of this.
