Ella + JP’s documentary St.John USVI destination wedding was a DREAM, from the picture perfect island of St.John in the U.S. Virgin Islands, with all the greenery, overlooking the ocean till the eye can see, lies the perfect venue: The Hills Wedding Venue and Accomodation. A TRUE HIDDEN GEM where their love story unfolded on a perfect sunny winter day. Their guests came from big cities, like NYC, Georgia, and California to witness these two beautiful souls tie the knot.

Documentary Wedding Photography Approach

The couple’s biggest thing was putting emphasis on being able to enjoy their guests, the party, and their union… All while putting emphasis on who they truly are, they’re fun, authentic, and ADORE being present. So from the get go, that was their priority. A destination wedding in the beautiful St.John, candid moments and a documentary approach for their wedding photography.

Their love for travel, being present, and documentary wedding photography all led them to decide for a documentary approach. Because of this, every photograph told a unique story, a story of love, laughter, and all the magic from their destination wedding in LITERAL PARADISE.

Venue

They took use of their beautiful venue, their individual villas were stunning and perfect for getting ready as they got ready with their individual wedding parties. Their ceremony was where their dinner and reception will later be held that evening. And their cocktail hour overviewing the beautiful island of St.John and surrounding islands of the USVI and British Virgin Islands.

The Hills was the PERFECT venue for Ella + JP, with its stunning panoramic views and space to allow you to do things as you love, yet allows for a more intimate and homey feel for your dinner space. Also, can i mention the space is PERFECT for dancing all night long – this was their perfect venue and personally one of my favorites.

Their wedding day was perfect – one with laughter, tears, a lot of dancing, and lots and lots of love and support from your loved ones who joined you. This was more than a wedding, it was a celebration of their love.
