My name is Bill and I am the founder and photographer for Bill Mortley Photography. One thing I have learned is how quickly time passes and how precious even the simplest moment can be. It is my goal to capture these moments for you and your family to enjoy for years to come. I shoot weddings in various Cities in the United States, at various hotels on St. Lucia, West Indies and sometimes on other Caribbean Islands. I love photographing each moment – from the smiles to the frowns and everything in between. It is my goal to create treasured memories by providing portraits that capture the spirit and true personality. During our time together I will encourage you and your family to have fun, relax, and be yourselves…….show your true colors.

More about me –

For over 30 years Bill Mortley has been pleasing couples with his unique approach to wedding photography. His personal approach, attention to detail and passion for quality portraits has made him the most experienced and sought after photojournalist on the island of St. Lucia.

Bill’s use of unconventional angles and amazing points of view, not only helps tell the story about a wedding, but also represents it in a high quality digital format using today’s top technologies and photo processing techniques. A spontaneous and fun approach to photography enables him to photograph bridal portraits, engagements and weddings as they truly are. He uses this approach to deliver true-to-life portraits that not only beautifully portray, but tells the story behind the wedding day.

His extensive photographic experience began as a young man with Chung’s Studios in Trinidad, The Trinidad Guardian Evening News and then to the Voice of St. Lucia newspaper.

He returned from New York to St. Lucia in 1985 after working primarily as a Press Photographer for several years with the New York Daily Challenge while making wedding photography a part time endeavor.

Upon his return to St. Lucia, he started MediaCraft Productions Ltd, the largest photo studio on the island with a staff of 50 serving most of the Resorts on the Island including Sandals for 12 years and Club St. Lucia for 22 years.

His reputation as a photographer who uses his camera and eye to tell of the human condition proceeds him, he is able to evoke emotion with a print and render the viewer speechless with his creative capturing of mere everyday life. Bill’s passion and talent for photography ensures that we have memories that will last a lifetime.

 

I’d like to extend a special thank you to the various couples for allowing me to be part of such a special time in their lives.  I look forward to doing the very best I can to satisfy all of the brides who entrust me with such a special milestone in their lives.
