Destination Wedding at Coconut Bay Resort St Lucia
Caribbean Destination Wedding Photography in St Lucia
Richard and Claudette's Caribbean destination wedding took place at the incredible Coconut Bay Beach Resort in St Lucia, which was the most amazing location for a wedding! The resort is set on the southeastern tip of the beautiful island of St Lucia and is everything you can imagine and more of a Caribbean sun-soaked island.
The midday ceremony on the beachfront was an unbelievably hot one, but the stunning location made the heat much more bearable. The couple had been joined by many of their friends and family from the UK as well as a large contingent from Dominica, where Claudette has a number of relatives, and everyone came together to celebrate in such an exciting and energetic way.
The celebrations continued throughout the most amazing sunset. They ended up with Richard and Claudette ending the evening in the warm waters of the Caribbean sea, which was the perfect way to end this amazingly fun wedding.
Richard and Claudette were an absolute pleasure to work with, and their friends and family made me feel very welcome in St Lucia. Destination weddings are always so special as I usually spend much more time with the couple and their families, and this wedding was an experience that I will never forget. Here are a few images from this destination wedding at the Coconut Bay Beach Resort in St Lucia.
