Known for its breathtaking volcanic landscapes and the world-famous Pitons, Saint Lucia is a lush island that’s perfect for a romantic honeymoon or destination wedding. Diamond Falls is a hidden gem surrounded by botanical gardens and six acres of lush flora and fauna. You’ll have to hike along a trail to get to the falls, so we recommend taking some pre or post-wedding photos in everyday clothes at this tropical locale.
