Overview: Shayna and Kirby ventured from New York City to the Bahamas for a three-day celebration with their nearest and dearest. The festivities took place at The Cove Eleuthera, a resort that is equally known for its serene oceanside setting and understated elegance. With exclusive use of the resort, guests embarked on an intimate journey that included plenty of beach relaxation, culinary experiences centered on fresh fish and local produce, and an intimate ceremony and reception to finish the trip.
The Cove Eleuthera’s neutral simplicity was the perfect blank canvas for this couple’s wedding, especially as Shayna is an artist who knows all about turning a blank canvas into something beautiful without being overdone. Shayna received a Bachelor of Arts in Art History from Dickinson College and a Master of Contemporary Art from Sotheby’s Institute of Art. Her work focuses on gestural movement, neutral tones, mark making, and texture. And for the entire vibe, there was a palpable reverence for minimalist sophistication and the allure of simplicity. Take just one look at these photos and you’ll see that the same “less is more” thought process is echoed throughout their wedding design.
Despite encountering unexpected rain, they effortlessly transformed the indoor space into a cozy haven for dinner and heartfelt toasts, before seamlessly transitioning back outdoors for a delightful dance beneath the shimmering stars and twinkle lights. The warmth and enthusiasm with which their guests embraced these changes turned what could have been a hiccup into a cherished memory of the celebration.
In essence, Shayna and Kirby’s wedding epitomized their deep love for each other, their admiration for artistry and simplicity, and their commitment to sharing profound moments with their beloved circle amidst a breathtaking backdrop.
