An Intimate St Lucia Destination Wedding

When your fairytale wedding is tag teamed by the isle of St Lucia and Mother Nature herself, the result is breath taking. Sadie and Scott’s destination wedding honored their chosen destination in every way possible – I mean, look at these photos captured by Mann & Wife Visual Storytellers… tropical, romantic, simple and elegant – exactly how they wanted it!

Browsing their photos, I could almost feel the calm ocean breeze that ran through Sadie’s veil and the swaying, lush palm trees surrounding their venue – of course, I can only play pretend because Sadie and Scott forgot to invite me to their wedding (only kidding, but the FOMO is real!). The little chapel over the water was absolutely perfect for their small guest list – so intimate! AND, do not miss this detail in the pics… they said their vows over a glass floor that revealed the crisp, vibrant blue water – how much more immersed in the local beauty could they get?

Getting their family to paradise to share the most meaningful moments of their life was the most important element to the entire planning process for Sadie and Scott – and I think all us budding brides could take a rule out of their play book. Sadie says, “don’t stress the details, you’re going to be in paradise!” And really, where’s the lie? Look at how relaxed, present and in love this couple looks. The FOMO is returning…

The way that the afternoon sunlight hit the over-the-water chapel created a breathtakingly beautiful ceremony.

What was the most special thing to happen on your wedding day?

The night before the wedding, we walked from dinner to the main entertainment for the resort. When we got there, the singer for the night asked if we were getting married and dedicated the next song to us. Amazingly, it happened to be our rst dance song. It was a beautiful moment that meant a lot to us. Also, the bribes father’s speech was tr most emotional moment.
