Planning a Destination Wedding in St. Lucia?

st lucia wedding, welcome sunset dinner
 

If you're searching for wedding venues in St. Lucia, let this real wedding do some of the convincing for you. Majestic and Marshall didn't just book a resort, they built an entire three-day wedding weekend around what makes this island one of the best destination wedding spots in the Caribbean. And I had the pleasure of photographing their entire wedding weekend from start to finish, photos that they will look back on for years to come.
Photos are a mixture of digital and film photography

WEDDING WEEKEND DAY 1 - WELCOME DINNER IN ST. LUCIA

Sunset dinner with all your guests in St. Lucia
What better way to start your wedding weekend in St. Lucia than with a golden-hour welcome dinner under string lights, long communal tables, and the dress code is white. This will help put your guests in vacation mode plus a shot of tequila helps haha!

WEDDING WEEKEND DAY 2 - SETTING SAIL IN ST.LUCIA

Book a Private Catamaran and Sail the Island
This is where a St. Lucia destination wedding pulls ahead of almost anywhere else — a private catamaran day, sailing past the island's famous twin peaks, the Pitons, with rum in hand and salt in the air. It's the kind of built-in excursion that makes planning a multi-day wedding weekend here so easy to sell to your guests.

WEDDING WEEKEND DAY 3 - WEDDING IN ST.LUCIA

Coconut Bay Beach Resort and Spa in St. Lucia
After two days on the island of St. Lucia, I became very familiar with this resort and all the beautiful views. This helped since it was my first time at this resort and being able to enjoy the property and walk around helped plan for the best spots for family photos, wedding party photos and couple photos. I also prefer to arrive a full day early, to walk the property and get familiar with the venue, check out another destination wedding I’ve photographed in Punta Cana.

The bride and her bridesmaid spent the morning getting ready at the resorts bridal suite. She did a first look with each one of her bridesmaids and then a final first look with her father. This made for sweet, candid photos.

The Ceremony spot in Coconut Bay Beach Resort is tucked away down the beach, next to the reception. I thought this was nice, since it gave the wedding privacy from the rest of the resort.

Their ceremony was beautiful, I particularly loved when Marshall began to tear up when he saw his bride for the first time. Which made this moment so beautiful to witness and photograph.

After their "I do’s”, they popped a bottle of champagne to celebrate with their family and friends. During cocktail hour, the guests got to admire the sunset views of St. Lucia, while I photographed the couple during golden hour. By far some of my favorite photos of the day!

Once cocktail came to end, it was time for the reception! Party time in St. Lucia! And personally this was my favorite part of the night because I partied with them till the final song, it was such a core memory.
