Sunrise at the Ritz Carlton, St. Thomas

I have an affinity for the Ritz Carlton in St. Thomas. This is where my new bride and I spent part of our honeymoon 19 years ago, when it just opened as The Grand Palazzo.  While there are a lot of physical changes to the resort (Ritz Club, larger fitness area, seaside pavilions), the views and the feel of the place is still uniquely The Grand Palazzo.

For a late-night person, I never regret getting up right before sunrise to capture the best light for photography. Most of these shots were taken around 6:30 a.m. except for the next shot which I took at sunset. There is something magical about a place at this time of the day.

Fashionistas Show Up In Full Force at the JW's LBD!

Close to 500 guests packed the JW ballroom for the third annual Little Black Dress Party. Thank you to everyone who attended this much anticipated event where the city's fashionistas don their LBD's while sipping on LBD vodka and dancing to the tunes of Digitaljoes.
