A few weeks ago, I was invited to a bridal show in Downtown Miami. One of the vendors that caught my eye was Belinda’s Designs Couture. With an impressive collection of wedding gowns, Belinda’s artistic vision blew me away.
Below is my personal favorite:
You will find Belinda’s Desings Couture at the heart of South Beach.
Greetings from the sunny South Florida! This Friday, I had the pleasure of photographing Amelia and Arturo’s wedding. You may remember them from their engagement session a few months ago.
The nearly two and a half hour ceremony was one to remember as it included guests from all over the world including Spain and Puerto Rico and five priests presiding over the celebration. After the ceremony at St. Patrick’s Church, we headed over to the Ronald W. Shane Center in Miami Beach where Patricia Pozas from Foodie Catering and Events had everything looking fabulous!
Amelia and Arturo, thank you for allowing me be part of you most memorable day! Please enjoy the previews below!
St. Patrick’s Church was founded in 1926 as the first Roman Catholic Church in Miami Beach. Its beauty and elegance has attracted people from all over the world including well known public figures. The image below looks like a composition done in Photoshop, but it is not. I was just simply blessed with great light! Amelia and Arturo had beautiful weather on their day.
The Groom, Arturo (Art) is seen here holding the wedding bands. His joy radiated in all directions.
The Bride, Amelia (Ame) looked stunning in a simple but very classy dress. I loved her Bouquet!
Ame and Art’s ceremony was celebrated by five priests! Two of them were their life-long pastors from their perspective parishes and the other three are life-long friends whom Amelia, in particular has grown-up with. On the altar, assisting the priests was also Amelia’s brother who is also in the seminary with the Jesuits. It was a solemn ceremony!

Cartagena is for lovers, and this weekend I had the pleasure of capturing Paula and David’s enchanting wedding in Cartagena, Colombia! When my good friend Alex Rodriguez invited me to shoot this gorgeous couple in Cartagena, I couldn’t help but dream about the beauty of Colombia and the warmth of its people. Cartagena takes you on a journey back into the colonial era full of love and passion, of mystery and chivalry; it is by far, one of the most romantic places in this world to celebrate the magic of love! We stayed at an amazing hotel called “Bantu Hotel.” The hotel was built during the time of the colonization and has been restored into a very intimate get-away hotel..simply beautiful! Here is just a glimpse into David and Paula’s amazing day:
The dress was gorgeous, designed by Paloma Blanca:
Here is Paula reading a touching letter from her brother. They are a very close family and that’s so lovely!
Here is David, working the camera!
A proud father holding his son’s ring.
The bride was taken to the church by horse and carriage, what a dream!
The church was Santo Toribio de Mogrovejo, built in 1736; a truly remarkable church.
After the ceremony, we walked through the city with music and dance.

Here is my personal favorite:
The reception was held in Casa Quero. They served Arepas and empanadas. We danced to Vallenato and cumbia. Finally, we were surprised by “La Hora Loca” or “The Crazy Hour”–super good times!
I had such a terrific time!!!! Alex, I had a blast! Thank you for the inviting me to such an awesome wedding and friendship! It was also an honor to shoot next to Becker; dude, you are a blast!! I’m looking forward to our next wedding back in Cartagena in the next couple of weeks!
I wish Paula and David a happy life together. I feel fortunate to be a witness of your love.
If you are planning your wedding in Cartagena, contact Itala Isabel Vásquez Vilar from “Mi Boda en Cartagena.” She not only did an amazing job, but also made the entire planning process smooth.
Happy Easter everyone! This is the perfect time to tell you about Lindsay and Justin’s wedding last weekend! Lindsay and Justin got married at the Bahia Mar Beach Resort in Fort Lauderdale in a beautiful intimate ceremony by the water. They enjoyed a gorgeous South Florida weather that day and a maritime tribute by all the nearby yachts as they fired their horns in celebration of their commitment to each other for one minute after the ceremony. That was simply AWESOME!
Please enjoy some of the photographs of their special day. I had a blast and I hope you enjoy them as well!
If you missed Lindsay and Justin’s engagement session, you can find it here.
Thank you Lindsay and Justin for the great experience and for giving me the honor of being a part of your lives.
