My first week of 2017 started off in the Caribbean. I was hired to photograph a friend’s wedding on the tiny island of Mayreau, part of the beautiful island nation of St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

Starting on the mainland, in the capital city Kingstown, I jumped on a flamboyantly painted public bus. This a fun way to see the vibrant and bustling city like a local. Plus, they all have incredible sounds systems blasting the best island tunes!

Making my way over to the tiny island of Canouan, I discovered a true island paradise. Known for its remote beaches and authentic island life, it is also a favoured place for sailing and yachting.

After spending a week island hopping this region, I can see why the pirates did not want to leave this area!
