Clair & Tony
Claire Harmsworth & Tony Griffiths work together as the managing director and founder, respectively, of an award-winning residential construction company specializing in luxury homes and housing developments in the UK. Recently, they went from being power-couple business partners to also being life partners, tying the knot here in Aruba and choosing our team to capture every moment of it.
Claire and Tony understand and appreciate luxury, so it’s no surprise that they chose to hold their nuptials on the private island off Aruba’s coast. Renaissance Island, owned by the Renaissance Resort, is a 40-acre oasis featuring two beaches and a lush mangrove network, reached by an 8-minute water taxi ride from the mainland. Its Bali-style cabanas, pristine sand, luxury amenities, and exclusivity make it one of the most incredible places in Aruba to get married. Understanding that the surroundings on Renaissance Island are breathtaking enough, the couple kept the wedding décor minimalistic. The wedding arch was simply draped with sheet fabric with a spray of white flowers in one corner, framing the gorgeous Caribbean Sea beyond.
Claire wowed in her fabulous dress with its long train, which added to the drama of the photography. And speaking of photography, we’ll admit, Renaissance Island is one of our favorite wedding locations on Aruba, as it offers incredible diversity for stunning bridal portraits. We were even able to capture a few shots of the couple with Renaissance
Island’s famed resident flamingos.
Our team also had the pleasure of capturing the first look between Claire and her father, as well as his speech during the reception, where he explained that giving her away in marriage was one of the proudest moments of his life. He further explained how when she was born, she completely changed his life. With her love, support, loyalty, and understanding, she has become his soulmate. He thanked her for always keeping him young…in mind at least.
