Bill and Lydia, Courtyard Marriot Aguadilla, Puerto Rico

So happy that I can finally post Bill and Lydia's wedding, this beautiful wedding took place in the towns of , Moca and Aguadilla, located on the west side of the Island.  The ceremony took place in Moca's beautiful  Nuestra Señora de Monserrate Church located at the town''s main plaza  followed by the reception at the Courtyard Marriot in Aguadilla .  It was a beautiful day , in between the two locations we decided to make a stop at the Punta Borinquen Golf course in Ramey base to do formals and couple's portraits, braving between golf carts and balls!

Next Day sessions, love them or hate them?

Today we are going to talk about Next day sessions,  they are a wonderful way to re capture the romance of your wedding day in a more relax environment.  We as photographers do recommend to book a next day session because it gives you a more relax approach to your couple's pictures.  During the day of the wedding due to timeline's  restrictions our time with the couples is but  few moments after the ceremony and formals.  Brides may  be a bit worried about getting the dress a bit  dirty before the reception , specially if you are having a destination wedding or a beach ceremony.  Having a next day session allow us even more creativity on our poses and the couple is free to sit or lay on the grass.

Out of respect to their friends and family members that may  have traveled  long distances to be with them on their wedding day, couples do not want to be away from them.

Next day sessions provide us with the opportunity to travel and go to different locations that we cannot do on the day of the wedding because they might be far from the venue.  They also provide a more intimate and "private" time for the couple to enjoy each other while been photograph.  What  do we mean by "private",  well  this means that while the next session takes place there will be no family  ( who we LOVE )  or guests members to make you feel a little unease with comments  or by    taking pictures with their iphone's to post on their facebook pages.

A bride's hair and make up can be more suttle , shoes are optional and if  you want you might want to get a little wet. 

So go ahead  book your next day session on your favorite location.

 

Adam and Trish , Rincon Puerto Rico engagement session

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure to meet Adam and Trish who came to the west surf town of Puerto Rico known as Rincon , to finalized their wedding plans and details for their June wedding. Adam surprise Trish with a reservation at the beautiful beach front  bed and breakfast Tres Sirenas.  When I arrived to their sea view penthouse Trish was finishing  her make up and hair trail by make up artist Mary Kate a procedure highly recommended to all brides to avoid any surprises on their wedding day. It gives you a chance to connect with the hair and make up people as well as let you see,  feel and get a   more clear vision of what you want for your wedding day when it comes to make up.  The same philosophy would apply to engagements session and why we do as photographers recommend that when you book your wedding photography services also include an e session.  It gives you the opportunity to connect  with your photographer.  

With Adam and Trish we had an amazing and fun time.  We got to know one another and know that they will feel comfortable on their wedding day.  I can wait to photograph their wedding .

Stuart and Kristin

"The best LOVE is the kind that awakens the  SOUL and make us reach for more, that plants a fire in our HEARTS and brings PEACE to our minds" -  from The Notebook

Stuart and Kristin seal their love under a cloudy afternoon on a calm beach in Rincon, their union had a blessing from the skies at it rain on us between a few rays of sun.  It was sunny and then it rain, but after all it was a beautiful day.

Jody and Christine , Romantic Beach Wedding

"A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks.  when we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are;  we can be loved for who we are and not for who we're pretending to be...."  - Richard Bach 

Jody and Christine,  share a love for the ocean that had to be part of their special day ,  so what better place to get married than to the beach,  Domes beach in Rincon, Puerto Rico, where they have come on previous occasions to surf its waves.   Their surf boards became part of the ceremony decoration and the sea as the backdrop.  

The day started with a little bit of rain ( a blessing from the sky ) and end it up with a beautiful rainbow, just for them. Jody and Christine had a small and beautiful wedding  follow by dinner at La Copa Llena.  Wedding coordination by Sarah Rosario from All Events.

Here are a few of my favorites of the day.
