Our Journey Starts in St. Thomas

We were welcomed home on Tuesday at Indianapolis International Airport, from our fantastic journey to BVI, by 9* temperatures, snow on the ground, and a dead car battery.  It was difficult to convince ourselves that the conditions weren't some omen from the universe telling us that we are meant to stay in the Caribbean.  Nevertheless, we had a fabulous time (as usual) and got a lot of necessary things accomplished on our most recent business venture -- Jordana Wright Photographic Expeditions.  Over the next couple of weeks, we'll be posting some of our favorite photos from the trip, as well as some footage from our car-roof mounted Flip HD camera.  


Here are the first few photos of the journey, taken from our lovely balcony at the Island View Guesthouse in St. Thomas... Enjoy!




 
If you love what you see -- and who doesn't love the Caribbean -- and are interested in having the opportunity to explore the Virgin Islands with your camera and professional photographer guides, check out our Jordana Wright Photographic Expeditions website to get more information!

Homesick for the Caribbean? Jordana Wright Photography is too...

We spent all Winter feeling nostalgic for the sights, scents, and sounds of the Caribbean, hoping that any glimpse of Spring weather here in the Midwest would help tide us over.  Well, Spring is here, and we were wrong.  Call us greedy, but robins and daffodils are not equal to pelicans and plumeria.  As the first anniversary of our destination wedding in the British Virgin Islands fast approaches, more than ever, we are homesick for our islands...  

Here are a few more images from our last trip to the British Virgin Islands to feed our collective wander-lust for that Caribbean atmosphere...  

One of the most unique places to catch a beautiful sunset is the marina on Virgin Gorda.  It's a great spot where locals, tourists, and yachties shop, dine, and mingle.


The Baths... one of the most amazing places on earth.  
Long exposures help capture the gentle lapping of the Caribbean waves.  

The view from our favorite beach -- at Mango Bay Resort.

The most beautiful colors of the Caribbean aren't only found in nature... 
The Island View Guesthouse in St. Thomas features fantastic bold Caribbean color all over their property.

Another long exposure, to capture the movement of the water at sunset on the beach.

A questral poses for a photo on one of the many scenic overlooks in Virgin Gorda.  He didn't mind the sound of the shutter, but flew away immediately when a fan full of tourists pulled up.  Smart bird.

This sunrise was one the most memorable experiences of the trip.  After an early morning hike up to the highest point of Virgin Gorda, we were greeted with dramatic clouds, a gentle breeze, and a beautiful reminder of why its worth it to get up and go at 5am -- even on vacation.

Thanks for stopping by!
