Richard Motta is a Destination wedding and lifestyle photographer based in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands
I am from the world’s most beautiful and culture-rich Island of St. Croix. I love few things as much as family, photography, and the simplicity of Island life. Okay, maybe coffee. And bourbon. And Netflix originals and HBO Sunday night programming, but that is about it.
I am a minimalist at heart and a hopeless visionary who sees everything through the prism of art. But, If you asked me a couple of years ago what I would be doing today, I would probably have said everything under the sun short of being a photographer. When I picked up a camera in 2011, I was completing my undergrad in Journalism and planned on entering law school. I knew little about photography, but I fell in love with how it allowed someone to make artful, the simple, often-overlooked details of everyday life and how, in a single frame, you could tell multiple stories, or encapsulate an unforgettable moment.
I photographed my first wedding in March 2011, just three months into my newfound hobby, and to date, have documented the nuptials of dozens of couples, both local and international.
