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! 

Lindquist Beach Wedding Photos

Congratulations to Mr and Mrs Willis!!!

They arrived on St. Thomas for just a day from a cruise ship to exchange their wedding vows at beautiful Lindquist Bay Beach. It was one of those picture perfect days for an island wedding. Here are a few of my favorite photos from their beach wedding...

Wishing a lifetime of happiness for these two!!!!!

This sweet St. Thomas wedding at Lindquist Beach was by Island Bliss Weddings.

St Thomas Beach Wedding: Sapphire Beach

Sapphire Beach is a St. Thomas Beach Wedding location that is often overlooked. It's a beautiful beach on the east end with endless options for your wedding ceremony. This beach faces St. John. 

Up until recently, the beach was under-developed with decrepit buildings on its property. Within the past couple of years, there has been a lot of upgrades, including new facades on all the apartment rentals and there is a lot of progress on several pop-up restaurants, including a full restaurant by the pool, which is rumored to open in 2017. 

There is a site fee at this beach, starting at $150. There is no entrance fee for guests at this beach, and there is ample parking if needed. 

This beach is a long one compared to some of the other beaches in St. Thomas. On one end--the left--it's rocky, then it turns into the beach where everyone swims. If you keep going to the right, the beach levels out, so it's a great place for your St. Thomas Beach Wedding ceremony. This part of the beach can hold hundreds of people if you have that many guests. This is also a great place to set up a tent with some tables to have your reception! 

If you keep trekking to the right, you'll come upon Pretty Klip Point, which is a peninsula that points toward St. John. This is a great spot for weddings with the picturesque rocks and plants. This spot is great for smaller weddings. 

It's important to keep in mind that this beach can be very windy, so if you plan to wear your hair down, you may want to consider a different venue for your St. Thomas Beach Wedding. If you have flowing dresses for your bridesmaids or yourself, it's a great option for photos! 

This beach is awesome for morning and early afternoon weddings. The turquoise waters are beautifully bright! Here is another post to show what the light looks like at Sapphire Beach in the evening before sunset.
