I hate snow -- but I LOVE food and amazing accommodations.

It's depressingly snowy pretty much everywhere in this hemisphere -- the perfect opportunity for images of the fantastic food and villa accommodations we've come to miss in Virgin Gorda.  So... for your snowy-day pleasure, please peruse and enjoy images of the delightful food at The Rock Cafe, and the stellar design and relaxation available at the Aquamare Villas -- both of Virgin Gorda, BVI.


We miss it.


A lot.

Two of our friend Simon's fabulous drink creations.

We miss you Simon.

Bruschetta -- so good that at our wedding reception, the guests ate it all before we got there.
Prompting us to request more bruschetta from the kitchen.  We were, after all, the bride and groom.

It doesn't look like that when I make it.

Anegada Lobster salad -- which is way better than any other kind of lobster anything.

Anegada Lobster Salad in the foreground, with Bruschetta in the background.  Perfection.

The dining room at one of the three Aquamare villas.
Surprisingly, you don't have to be too rich to stay here... but you'll feel like you are.

Is outdoor dining your preference?  Well here you go then.

The view of Mahoe Bay across your infinity pool and private beach.
Dry your snowy tears on these luxurious 600 count towels.

I've always wanted to shower with a natural canopy above me.  Close your eyes, lizards.

The great room.  Any questions as to why it's called that?

Naptime on the private balcony, overlooking the private beach.  

Candles controlled by a switch on the wall.  Because we can.  And should.

A splash of color accents the design beautifully.

The authentic luxury Caribbean experience.  

Luxury discovered.

I'm going outside to make snow angels and pretend that they are sand angels.  Just not in my bathing suit.

Glass and String

We bookended last week with visits to The Children's Museum of Indianapolis and The Indianapolis Museum of Art.  The lobby of the Indianapolis Museum of Art currently features an incredible installation called "Gravity's Loom" by The Ball-Nogues Studio, while The Children's Museum of Indianapolis has an ongoing installation called "Fireworks of Glass" by renowned glass blower Dale Chihuly.

After viewing and photographing both exhibits, we were amazed by the numerous similarities in the use of space, color, shape, line, and interaction with the available light with such totally different types of media.  We were strongly affected by the way in which both artists adapted their work to fill, enhance, and envelop the museum spaces they inhabit.  Both exhibits engage visitors in a special way -- drawing them to explore the work from all available vantage points...

100th Post!!!

The holidays are here, and there's plenty to celebrate -- reunions with friends and family, good food, presents, and lots of snow!  At Jordana Wright Photography we're not only celebrating the holidays, but another excellent year in business -- and our 100th blogpost!


Over the weekend we had the opportunity to photograph The Munson Family in Sullivan, Illinois.  They were full of the holiday spirit and positive energy.  Thank you, to the Munsons for inviting us to photograph your lovely family!  Here's a sneak preview of the session...  Enjoy!

Thank you to our clients, family and friends for making it a wonderful year!  
As a send off for the fabulous year of 2010, 
are a few of our favorite images from sessions and events throughout the year.



Happy Holidays!

Should have stayed in BVI...

In the last post, I mentioned a dead car battery as a possible omen suggesting that we should have stayed in BVI... because we didn't seem to get the message, the universe gave us white-out conditions, and a fun windy, icy, 360* car spinning adventure.  Our faithful Toyota is sadly gone, but we are fine... as fine as you can be when you left paradise by choice.  Now we know.  

Here are a few more photographs from our recent trip to incorporate Jordana Wright Photographic Expeditions... Enjoy!

We named this cat "I can haz murder"... you can tell by the look in its eye.

Many more photographs to come, so check back soon!  Thanks for stopping by!

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!
