// WEDDING DAY PHOTOGRAPHY

So you’re heading down the aisle to get married! Congratulations are in order! I remember how exciting and overwhelming wedding planning could be when I was newly engaged. There is so much information to process.

Choosing a wedding photographer is essential. I am here to illustrate the story of your love. Please take your time and choose the person who feels right to you and your fiancé. You should feel confident in their abilities to capture one of life’s precious moments; the bonding of two souls sharing their journey of togetherness.

Every couple and wedding I photograph has a unique signature and is treated with the care required to ensure your style comes through. I completely understand that not everyone is comfortable in front of the camera. My goal with every couple is to get beyond the standard poses and capture your deep affection and love for each other.

// CAPTURE PRECIOUS MOMENTS

It’s my responsibility to record all the moments that you’ll hold in your heart forever: the way your father looks as he walks you down the aisle, the way you and your fiancé look into each other’s eyes when saying your vows, or the tears in your mother’s eyes as she helps you put on your dress. It’s my life’s work to witness and capture these fleeting moments for you.

I’m the silent narrator of your story, which unfolds once but resonates for a lifetime. On your wedding day, you’ll experience a whirlwind of emotions, momentary glances, and spontaneous happiness and laughter— moments that might otherwise slip through the cracks of your memory.

My camera lens preserves not just images but feelings, encapsulating the joy, anticipation, and profound love that saturates the air. Years later, my photography allows couples to relive their most cherished moments with the same intensity.

On Location

Please take a look at my photo galleries of recent weddings throughout the U.S. Virgin Islands. The Virgin Islands offers many picturesque photo opportunities, from deserted beaches and sugar mills to tropical forests and plantations.

Choosing the U.S. Virgin Islands as your wedding destination offers an idyllic blend of breathtaking beauty, tropical serenity, and unique cultural charm, making it a perfect backdrop for couples looking to exchange their vows in paradise.

The U.S. Virgin Islands are a naturally romantic setting that’s hard to replicate. This ensures that every wedding is as memorable as the couple’s own love story— all without the need for a passport.

The ease of planning, coupled with the absence of passport requirements for U.S. citizens, simplifies the logistics, allowing couples and their guests to focus on what’s important— the wedding celebration.

The U.S. Virgin Islands’ proximity to the mainland U.S. ensures that this alluring escape is both an extraordinary and accessible option for couples looking to make their wedding truly unforgettable.

With the U.S. Virgin Islands, couples are not just promising their lives to each other; they’re doing so in a place that promises just as much beauty, adventure, and romance in return.

The islands boast some of the most stunning beaches in the Caribbean, with crystal-clear waters and powdery white sand. Beyond the scenic vistas, the U.S. Virgin Islands present an array of enchanting venues and experiences that cater to every couple’s dream wedding.

From luxurious resorts that offer all-inclusive wedding packages to intimate, secluded beaches perfect for a private ceremony, the possibilities are endless.

Plus, the islanders’ rich cultural heritage and warm hospitality add an extra layer of charm to marriage celebrations, inviting guests to adventure in local traditions and flavors specific to the Caribbean.

// WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY IDEAS

Because I live on the island, I have distinct advantages over others because of my intimate familiarity with the local landscape, light, culture, and seasons. An insider’s knowledge of the islands’ most picturesque locations, from hidden gem beaches to stunning overlooks that might not be well-known to outsiders. Entrust your memories to a photographer who not only knows the landscape but is an integral part of the very fabric of island life, ensuring your wedding photos are as authentic and unique as your love story.

I have a plethora of ideas and venues from which to draw, ensuring your wedding photos are set against some of the most breathtaking backdrops. I understand the unique lighting conditions influenced by the tropical sun and sea and am more adaptable to the unpredictable changes in Caribbean weather. Knowing how to adjust for a sudden rain shower or bright midday sun allows me to capture images that are not only visually stunning but also evoke the essence of the islands.

I’ve also established extensive relationships with other wedding vendors and venues, facilitating smoother coordination and logistics on your wedding day.
