Flying home to Puerto Rico to photograph Macy & Cooper’s wedding at Hacienda El Nido, located in Coamo, PR, was more than just work, it was an honor I will never forget. Being able to document a love story on the island that shaped me and holds so many of my memories made this experience deeply meaningful.
They chose a venue tucked high in the mountains, offering views that showcased the true beauty of Puerto Rico. It was there, surrounded by endless greens and fresh mountain air, that they said their “I do’s” against one of the most breathtaking backdrops. The warm golden light, the breeze, and the scenery felt unreal.
Every detail was thoughtfully inspired by Puerto Rican culture. Pavas were showcased throughout the décor, a traditional straw hat worn by jíbaros that represents our roots, humility, and connection to the land. Tropical fruits filled the tables with color, and banana trees served as centerpieces, bringing the island’s natural beauty straight into the celebration.
From the moment I arrived, I felt like I wasn’t just the photographer, I was family. Their loved ones welcomed me with open arms, laughter, stories, and so much love. It truly felt like I was spending the day with friends, surrounded by genuine emotion, happiness, and unforgettable moments.
The night ended in the most magical way, with fireworks lighting up the Puerto Rican sky, celebrating love, culture, and a day that will forever live in my heart.
Macy & Cooper, thank you for trusting me to capture such a sacred chapter of your story and for allowing me to return home and document your love. This one will stay with me forever 🤍🇵🇷✨
