Advice on wedding photographers in St. John

Hello wonderful St. John Forum people,

So we have a villa, a flight, a jeep, a ceremony date and now we need to find a photographer. We have some good leads, but would love to get some tips from this great forum on possible options. Ones we've been clued into include Kelly O'Brien Photos, Blue Glass Photography and Tropical Focus photos. Anyone worked with any of these?

We're looking for something fairly simple as its just the two of us, but want it done right and want to get some kind of book and then have access to all prints/negatives for any future printing.

Any suggestions?

Thanks so much!!

Hi !!! In October my husband and I renewed our vows for our 25th. We used Sage from Crown Images Photography. She is the sweetest person to deal with! She has all her photos on her website, hundreds of them that you can check out. She will post them on line , make you up a book , give you a CD..... anything you want. Lots of luck to you , and cherish every minute of your upcoming day !!!! 8)

We used Blue Glass and were happy with our pictures.

Okay - quality! Who ranks the highest?

Thanks all, good suggestions. I've been speaking to Bob and also Kelly O'Brien and just exchanged emails with Blueglass and all seem great. Bob seems to offer the best prices, but wondering, who is the best quality - any thoughts here! We want to have those kind of "wow" images that make people ask who did our photography?

I know its subjective, but hoping to solicit a few more opinions :)

Thanks again!

Bob @ Tropical Focus did our photos for Villa Andara and we are very pleased with the quality. We made some very large prints without losing any of the resolution.
They can be seen at http://www.andaravilla.com.

Good luck and treasure your wedding in paradise!

Thanks all for the tips.

We had not even thought of it until I saw this thread but now having a family portrait done with Bob later this month.

Great to work with so far. :D
