St. Thomas, St. John, Virgin Islands, Caribbean Wedding Photography by photographer Eric Johnson

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, commercial and editorial work for corporations and publications worldwide.

One of only three CPP's (Certified Professional Photographer) in the Virgin Islands, Paradise Pictures' Eric "Ej" Johnson delivers the highest quality work available in the Caribbean and the Virgin Islands. (For the importance of Certification see FAQ's) Ej has integrated his Art Photography training from the University of Oregon with his job experience as the Virgin Islands Daily News chief photographer of 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.

Although he lives on St. Thomas, he is available for events throughout the Virgin Islands, the Caribbean and destination weddings throughout the world.

Paradise Pictures was the first in the Virgin Islands and the Caribbean to convert 100% to digital and the first 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, St. John, 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 session. We will create and deliver to your wedding a matted 16"x20" archival printed art 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 receiving tremendous accolades & "Wows" from family & friends for years to come, we can create for you a Professionally Designed Coffee Table style album by Asukabook or GraphiStudio.

Want to get wet and 'trash the dress'? "I'm right there with you" says Ej. "Some of my favorite shots are when I'm knee to waist deep in the water shooting back at the glowing happy couple."

For the family who wants to take home priceless images of their Caribbean experience, our on location portrait package includes (2) 8"x12"s PLUS a 16"x20" print.

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. Ej would be happy to add some island flare to your portfolio.
