St. John Wedding: Trunk Bay Beach

Congratulations to Meg and Stuart!!!!

They exchanged their wedding vows on beautiful Trunk Bay Beach at sunset. It was just the two of them and such a beautiful day for a beach wedding on St. John.

Meg kept joking that she wanted to just jump into the ocean....

Right after their ceremony they decided that we should "trash the dress" and that they just had to jump into the water. I'm so happy they did so we where able to make these beautiful photos. Here are a few of my favorite photos from their wedding day...

St John Wedding: Trunk Bay Beach

A few weeks ago, I was happy to be photographing a Real St. John wedding. The day started out calm and cool as I made my way from St. Thomas to the City of Love for the nuptials of this sweet couple. It was a day that would never be forgotten by the couple and their vendors. 

Betsy and Jim are high school sweethearts. They left high school and went their separate directions, only to be reunited on the beautiful island of St. John where they  tied the knot, never to be divided again. Take a look throughout the post for some of my absolute favorite shots from this wedding session. 

I arrived at their rented villa, Deja View, to take some pictures of the lovely bride getting ready. We then did a first look at the villa that overlooks beautiful Rendezvous Bay. This St John villa had such a great layout for a wedding and was perfect for photos. After a few formal shots we went to the world famous, Trunk Bay Overlook.

Trunk Bay Beach is an equally gorgeous venue. Coming in at number one on several lists of the best beaches in the world, there were several places to photograph my new wedding couple on this pristine beach.  

They came together on Trunk Beach with only their closest loved ones to exchange their wedding vows by the salty sea. It was a beautiful evening for a sunset wedding on the beach. 

St John Wedding: Trunk Bay Beach

Congratulations to Brooke and Martha!

They exchanged their wedding vows at beautiful Trunk Bay Beach on St John. Here are a few of my favorite photos from their special day....

Trunk Bay has been voted one of the top 5 beaches in the world for the past several years, so it's only fitting that Martha and Brooke would choose this perfect beach for their perfect relationship. 

The ladies decided to get away from the hustle and bustle of the states and chose to come to the beautiful US Virgin Islands to have their St. John Wedding. They chose to keep it small with only one guest, which is sometimes the best way to do it! It was much more appealing for them to elope by themselves in paradise! 

It was such a perfect day on the beach for Brooke and Martha to exchange vows. It was quiet and it was great for creating these beautiful photos of their love for one another. Trunk Bay Beach is great for St. John weddings any time of day, but they chose to wed in the afternoon. I couldn’t have asked for better lighting.

We shared lots of laughs as the three of us set up awesome photos all over the beach. They are such a sweet couple and I feel fortunate to have been a part of such an important day in their lives!
