As a wedding photographer in The Bahamas, I’ve had the joy of capturing love stories in some of the most breathtaking places—but Marissa and Todd’s luxury wedding at The Other Side in Eleuthera will always stand out. This hidden gem of a resort was the perfect choice for their destination wedding. Surrounded by turquoise waters, Marissa and Todd celebrated a day that was as stylish as it was heartfelt.
Getting Ready in Paradise
The day began with Marissa and her bridesmaids preparing for the celebration. With the talented Meg McMillion bringing out her natural beauty, Marissa looked radiant from the moment she stepped into her Martina Liana gown from J. Majors Bridal Boutique. The delicate details of her dress paired beautifully with her Christian Louboutin heels. Her bridesmaids looked perfectly coordinated in their dresses from Show Me Your Mumu. Just steps away, Todd was surrounded by his groomsmen as he slipped into a classic tuxedo from The Black Tux, polished off with his own pair of Christian Louboutin shoes. Before the rush of the day, Marissa and Todd each sat down to read letters they had written to one another—an intimate pause in the day.
A Stunning Ceremony by the Ocean
The couple shared their first look overlooking the endless ocean, a moment that felt suspended in time. With the sea breeze and soft Bahamian light, their first look was pure island magic—emotional and unforgettable. The ceremony followed by the infinity pool, where sky and sea became one, with live music from Rocky and Ersely setting the perfect soundtrack as Marissa and Todd exchanged vows before their loved ones. It was as elegant as it was heartfelt.
A Sparkling Send-Off
As the sun dipped below the horizon, the reception began. Guests were treated to heartfelt speeches from both fathers, before a delicious first bite was shared between the newlyweds. Marissa and Todd’s first dance to “Lover” by Taylor Swift. Then came the dancing. DJ Jamal kept the energy high all night long, blending tracks that had everyone—from the youngest guests to the eldest—out on the dance floor. As the night came to a close, Marissa and Todd shared one final magical moment: a sparkler exit. Hand in hand, they walked through a sea of light, surrounded by the cheers of their loved ones, stepping boldly into their next chapter together. This luxury wedding at The Other Side was more than a celebration—it was an experience. Every detail, from the oceanfront first look to the starry-night send-off, spoke to the magic of destination weddings in The Bahamas.
