British Virgin Islands

For Valentine’s Day Kevin surprised me with a romantic weekend getaway down to Virgin Gorda in the B.V.I. One of the challenges when you are a working couple is to maintain personal time together outside work, which is a fun challenge. This getaway was not about a shot list or the pressures of delivering that perfect image for a client but all about being on island time. Sipping rum cocktails, boat hopping, exploring caves, eating the catch of the day, and forgetting time on our own private beach.

Thrilling adventure! I have come to learn that flying small planes means the pilot can angle the plane for you for better photographs! Also, my new go to flying shoes that feel like pillows on your feet are by Charles Philip.

  1. I love these photos, Jamie! The BVI is one of my favorite places I have ever traveled and you captured the beauty of the Baths exactly like I remembered it! Where is your polka dot dress from? That would be so perfect for my rehersal dinner for my upcoming wedding!

      1. Ladies I’ve also been stalking the dress and pretty sure this is the one – Lauren Ralph Lauren Polka Dot Jersey Halter Dress. Nordstroms is sold out but there are a few on ebay in bigger sizes – guessing it will be easy to alter since it’s jersey and pretty simple silhouette. Hope this helps!

  2. The perfect getaway! My favorite is the one of Kevin you captured inside the Jeep… so hauntingly beautiful, and the light is perfection! Amazing work, as always Jamie!

    1. Oh I’m so glad you pointed that one out. It was such a moment, he pulled over to look at the ocean and smell the air and just… slow down for a min and I leaned far back and snapped that image with the sunset light and thoughtfulness. It is one of my favorites.

  3. Love this post. I miss your ‘dinner and a movie’ posts. And your beauty posts. This was wonderful. Glad you had a nice vacation. More of these posts please.

  4. Oh boy, Jamie. Beautiful images, yet again, and I feel I’ve had a mini-vacation myself.. except now I’m longing to go there more than ever! Thank you for the couple of minutes spent immersed in your images.

  6. These pictures are beautiful! Do you mind sharing where you stayed while you were at Virgin Gorda? We’re planning a trip and would love a recommendation. Cheers!
