The Tropical Setting
Photographer Stan Lo shared a carousel of breathtaking images on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/p/DJ7zonzp_wN/) and called Aisha Hinds and Silky Valente’s Grenada celebration “one of the most iconic weddings I’ve ever had the honor to photograph.” Nestled on the powdery shores of Silver Sands Grenada, the event blended sun-soaked luxury with rich Caribbean culture.
Meet The Couple
Aisha Hinds, best known for her roles on True Blood and as Henrietta “Hen” Wilson on 911 on ABC, wed longtime partner Silky Valente at this destination affair. Silky, a creative director and stylist, brought fashion-forward flair to the ceremony alongside Aisha’s effortless elegance. Together, they crafted a weekend that celebrated their shared roots and global journeys.
A Celebration Of Love And Culture
Guests arrived under a canopy of swaying palms, greeted by drumbeats and island rhythms. Vibrant tropical blooms adorned the altar, arranged by Diann Valentine of Exhilarate Experiential, while local musicians honored Grenada’s heritage. Family and friends joined in a lively procession, dancing through the resort’s white-sand pathways before the couple exchanged vows at sunset.
Behind The Lens
Stan Lo’s photographs capture every vivid detail—from Silky’s custom gown dripping in beaded accents to Aisha’s sleek, minimalist ensemble. Each frame highlights the natural beauty of Silver Sands’ turquoise waters. Film director Kandy Flosse immortalized the ceremony on camera, weaving cinematic shots that echo the couple’s personal story.
Aisha Hinds: The Actress Bride
Off-screen, Aisha is a vocal advocate for representation in Hollywood. Her performance as Harriet Tubman in Underground earned critical acclaim and Emmy recognition. In Grenada, she traded studio lights for island sunsets, celebrating her own journey in style. Guests noted how she balanced star power with genuine warmth, greeting every attendee with a radiant smile.
Moments To Remember
From a lively steel-pan reception to an intimate moonlit dinner under fairy lights, the weekend was packed with memorable touches. Signature cocktails—rum-infused punches named for the bride and groom—kept spirits high, while a sunset portrait session delivered one of the event’s most iconic images: the couple embraced on the shoreline, the Caribbean breeze carrying their laughter into the night.
As the festivities concluded, Stan Lo toasted the newlyweds: “Happy anniversary to this phenomenal couple!” His words echo the sentiment of everyone who witnessed the union—a masterpiece of love, culture, and unforgettable moments on Grenada’s Silver Sands.
