We had the honor of photographing a beautiful destination wedding in the Virgin Islands at Oil Nut Bay – it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Let’s get lost in the details.
Destination weddings are not just about getting married in a beautiful location, they’re also about experiencing a different culture, creating lasting memories together, and having fun. As wedding and elopement photographers and videographers, we are always excited to explore new places and to document every moment of a couple’s wedding.
Emily and Jason exchanged vows on a private cliffside overlooking multiple islands and gorgeous turquoise water as their backdrop, surrounded by colorful tropical florals from Rhythm Floral Co.
Jason wore a tan linen suit and Emily looked stunning in her chic, modern gown with detachable sleeves from Harper + Ivory Bridal. They were surrounded by 125 of their closest family and friends who traveled so far to show their love and support as well as to celebrate this wonderful couple’s commitment during their wedding in the Virgin Islands.
During the bride and groom portraits, we wanted to use the breathtaking natural surroundings to their fullest potential by emphasizing the beauty of the location in each shot. As we began to explore Oil Nut Bay on the island of Virgin Gorda, we were inspired by the vibrant colors of the tropical flowers, the turquoise waters of the ocean, and the lush greenery surrounding us.
The sunny skies that we had for the ceremony turned into a dramatically cloudy day during portrait time. As Emily and Jason stood together, with the water and mountain as their backdrop, the stunning views and natural surroundings remained the perfect setting. We realized that sometimes the best moments are the unexpected ones and that there’s always a way to capture the beauty that this world has to offer.
Destination weddings are always exciting to be a part of because they offer unique inspirations and opportunities for us as photographers. It’s always interesting to capture the essence of a new location and showcase it in wedding photography.
For this wedding in the Virgin Islands, the ceremony was followed by a reception filled with laughter, so much dancing, and delicious food (including a sushi bar and the best jerk chicken we’ve ever had)!
Imagine this – crystal clear waters, white sandy beaches, and palm trees swaying in the wind. The bride and groom are having the time of their life, surrounded by their loved ones. Then, they sneak off for a quick outfit change into their swimming suits and then head straight for the pool. This is the epitome of a destination wedding in the Virgin Islands, where you get to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery while celebrating the union of two people in love.
The British Virgin Islands are a hidden gem that offers a unique blend of luxury and nature. It’s an ideal location for anyone who loves adventure, relaxation, and romance. And as elopement photographers and videographers, it is one of our favorite locations.

We would be honored to capture your wedding in this beautiful paradise.
