Our Story

Meet us - Your planners and photographers!

Our names are Abigail Jeles and Darel Hinson, and we want to share our own love story with you. It all started in December 2021 when we met on the beautiful shores of Turks and Caicos. From the moment we saw each other, there was an instant connection. We knew right then and there that something special was beginning. From the day we met, we’ve had the same values, goals and dreams.

A year later, in November 2022, Darel popped the big question. It was a simple, heartfelt moment under the evening sky and swaying palms. I said yes, and we were on our way to building our future together.

We got married on February 8th, 2023, right there on the beach in Turks and Caicos. It was a small, intimate ceremony with just the two of us and a few family members surrounded by the natural beauty of the island. Later that year, in June 2023, we had a reception in my hometown, sharing our joy with family and friends.

After our wedding, I moved to Turks and Caicos to start our life together. We both noticed that there was something missing on the island – a service to help couples plan their dream romantic proposals. Given that Turks and Caicos has been a top-rated romantic destination for the past five years, we saw an opportunity to fill that gap.

So, we decided to start our own business, offering services like photography, decor, and more, to help couples create unforgettable moments just like ours. We're passionate about helping others make their dreams come true in this beautiful setting.

We're so excited about this new chapter in our lives and can't wait to help you create your own unforgettable memories in Turks and Caicos. We’re committed to being a part of YOUR love story.

Thanks for letting us share our story with you.

Warm regards, Abigail & Darel
