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!

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.
