Julie + Brian | St Thomas Virgin Islands Destination Wedding

by Emily Pogozelski

Julie + Brian planned one of the most laid back, relaxing weddings we’ve been to… but how could it be anything but relaxing at a beautiful resort in the US Virgin Islands? We joined the happy couple and a small group of close family and friends for a weekend celebration of Julie + Brian’s love and marriage at the Sugar Bay Resort + Spa on St. Thomas. The weather looked threatening leading up to the wedding day (and did, in fact, pour on all of us during the outdoor rehearsal dinner!) but somehow the afternoon of the wedding was hot and sunny, despite the rain clouds earlier in the morning.

Thank you to the entire family for making us feel so welcome during the wedding festivities! From the welcome dinner when everyone arrived on Thursday to exploring St. John with the family on Friday, from hilarious drinks and delicious food at the rainy rehearsal dinner to the evening breezes and happy faces on the reception patio… the whole weekend was one to remember. (We’ll especially remember the pool volleyball game after the reception, with bride’s side vs. groom’s side! Em’s sorry that she was such a detriment to the team effort, but it was definitely fun.)

Click below to see a taste of our favorites from the weekend (including some of the Day After Session we did with Julie + Brian following the farewell brunch)… we can’t wait to show you the rest. (Click here to sign up to be notified when the rest of the images are available.)

The next morning, after brunch…

Incredible wedding photos. Sugar Bay really is a great location to do weddings. Looks like you captured the essence of St. Thomas’ beauty while still highlighting the Bride & Groom.
