Paradise Pictures is the premiere St. Thomas St. John United States Virgin Islands wedding and portrait photography company. We specialize in wedding photography and environmental / Caribbean portrait photography, along with model portfolios, editorial and commercial work for corporations and publications worldwide.

Certified by PPA Professional Photographers of America, Paradise Pictures' Eric "Ej" Johnson delivers the highest quality work available in the Caribbean and the Virgin Islands. Ej has integrated his Art Photography training from the University of Oregon with his job experience as the Virgin Islands Daily News chief photographer (5 years). While his photojournalism and editorial photography is all shot with 8 megapixel cameras, he uses Canon's EOS 1Ds Mark II, 16.8 megapixels, for all his portrait photography including your on the beach wedding or family portraits. He is available for events throughout the Caribbean and destination weddings throughout the world. His company is also the first in the Virgin Islands and the Caribbean to allow friends and family to view your wedding, portrait or event photos on-line, within 2-3 business days. (Note the search engine on the left.)

Ej will tell you "I Love living in the Virgin Islands and doing my photography work throughout the Caribbean. And digital photography is perfect for my lifestyle. Whether I'm doing a magazine fashion shoot in Barbados or your wedding on Trunk Bay, shooting with professional digital photography equipment allows me to achieve the highest in photography standards. It's not just about megapixels but it's about the freedom of digital capture. All my photography is processed through Adobe's Lightroom and Photoshop allowing me to deliver the best possible images. Since I am unencumbered by the expense of 'rolls of film', I can shoot freely as a photo-journalist and then in post-production I become an artist with my portrait work using soft filters and creating romantic classic Black and White, Selenium Toned, and the timeless look of Sepia toned images."

Paradise Pictures goes above and beyond for it's wedding clients who are celebrating the most important event (besides having children) of their lives. i.e. For those couples who will be in the Virgin Islands, on St. Thomas or St. John, a few days prior to the wedding, we offer a pre-wedding environmental portrait photography shoot. We will create and deliver to your wedding a matted 16"x20" artistic portrait to be signed by all your guests on your special day. And for those who want a lifelong keepsake album that will set their wedding apart and receive "wows" from family & friends for years to come, let us create for you a Professionally Designed Coffee Table style album by Asukabook or GraphiStudio

For the family who wants to take home priceless images of their Caribbean experience, our on location portrait package includes (4) 8"x12"s PLUS (1) 16"x20" print (gallery wraps are optional).

For models looking to add to their portfolio while here in the Virgin Islands, check Ej's MAC Gallery at http://gallery.mac.com/ejsmac1 to view his latest fashion shoot with Caribbean models Renata & Talon. We'd be happy to add some island flare to your portfolio.
