When it comes to destination weddings, few places are as magical as St. Vincent — and Kari and Ryan’s wedding day at the stunning Sandals Resort was truly something out of a dream.

The day began with Kari and Ryan getting ready separately in their beautiful resort suites, surrounded by breathtaking tropical views. There was an excitement in the air — the perfect mix of anticipation, joy, and a little bit of “is this real life?” energy that only a destination wedding can bring. Both took their time soaking in every moment, knowing that this was the start of something unforgettable.

Their first look took place by the private villas, with the towering mountains behind them and the ocean glistening just steps away. It was the kind of scene you could only imagine — a perfect blend of tropical paradise and quiet romance. Kari and Ryan shared an emotional, joyful moment that set the tone for the entire day.

As the sun began to lower, they said “I do” inside the resort’s over-the-water chapel, surrounded by their closest friends and family. The setting was intimate, with the ocean all around and a fiery sunset starting to paint the sky. The glass aisle beneath their feet reflected the colors of the sunset — it was pure magic.

After the ceremony, we boarded a sunset cruise . We took stunning portraits on the rocky shore just as the sky turned vibrant hues of pink, orange, and gold. The whole evening felt like time stood still for them.

The night wrapped up with a lively reception on the resort lawn. String lights twinkled overhead, laughter and music filled the air, and everyone danced the night away under the stars. It was the perfect way to celebrate — relaxed, beautiful, and full of love.

St. Vincent truly offers the most incredible backdrop for a destination wedding — from dramatic mountains to crystal-clear ocean views, it’s a photographer’s dream and a couple’s paradise.

Kari and Ryan’s wedding was proof that when you combine breathtaking scenery, a little bit of adventure, and the people who matter most, you create memories that last a lifetime.

Congratulations Kari and Ryan — your love story is just beginning, and it’s already so beautiful!
