Saint Lucia Wedding :: Virgin Islands

They met on the app Hinge. Kelsey, from the flatlands of Tennessee, and Brian from Minnesota, connected in 2021 when Kelsey moved up to Minnesota. After dating for a while, Brian suggested the two of them get dressed up and go out to dinner in Hudson. As they walked along the beautiful pier on the Minnesota/ Wisconsin border, Brian got down on one knee and asked Kelsey to marry him. The two quickly decided they wanted to do something different to get away from the Minnesota weather, and decided on the beautiful Virgin Island of St. Lucia.

Lush, green, and full of beauty, the Sandals resort of La Toc in Saint Lucia was a perfect location for their destination wedding. Gorgeous turquoise waters surrounded the island with the Piton Mountains hovering in the background to make an incredible landscape for photos.

Kelsey began the day at the beautiful Red Line Spa that is featured at every Sandals resort getting her hair and make up done. She looked incredible! We then continued in her hotel room by photographing her incredible details from her Maggie Soretto Designs Dress purchased at the Wedding Shoppe in St. Paul to her beautiful rings from Continental Diamonds. She and her bridesmaids, wearing light blue dresses from Azazie, got ready and then Kelsey went to meet Brian on the beautiful grounds of the resort.

After an emotional first look and an intimate time of reading their vows to one another, we were joined by their wedding party who all had traveled from different states to celebrate with Kelsey and Brian. We wandered all over the beautiful La Toc resort which ranged from the golden sandy beach to a beautiful sone wall covered in vines and florals.

The ceremony was absolutely stunning and Kelsey and Brian exited in joy as they were united as husband and wife! Guests gathered on the sand for photos and a joyous celebration with confetti and cheers of joy! A stunning sunset waved the day away and provided a glorious golden hour as guests gathered for the reception at Sunset Bluffs. A five course meal was provided ranging from Ahi Tuna to Coffee-rubbed sirloin, shrimp, grilled supreme chicken and a raging dance party followed. Kelsey then changed into a lightweight dress, perfect for dancing in the midnight air!

Kelsey and Brian, thank you so much for having us capture your big day! We are so thankful for both of you and feel so honored you would choose to celebrate with you! Congratulations!
