Planning a wedding shoot in St. Thomas can be both exciting and overwhelming. My first advice? Choose your location based on personality and style. Do you envision soft sands and ocean breezes, or lush greenery and cliffside views? Understanding what makes the island special to you will guide the perfect session.

Here are my top recommendations for couples planning their big day:

    Book early — St. Thomas is a top destination wedding spot, so photographers and venues fill up quickly.

    Schedule around the light — Early morning or golden hour gives the most flattering glow for beach weddings. Lighting and timing are your best friends. The tropical sun can be intense, so I always recommend mid-morning or late afternoon shoots

    Incorporate local details — Seashell bouquets, Caribbean jewelry, or even barefoot ceremonies add authenticity and charm.
