Dreamy Mountain Wedding | Victoria & Ricardo

DREAMY MOUNTAIN WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

Victoria & Ricardo’s Puerto Rican Mountain Wedding

Bride and groom have their first dance under dreamy fairylights in Puerto Rico Mountain wedding

I’ve wanted to share this wedding on my blog for quite some time, and yesterday’s warm weather felt like the perfect time to sit in the garden and reminisce about this gorgeous day. I’m really missing photographing weddings at the moment, but going through these photos made me realise just how grateful I am that one day weddings will take place again and this will all be a distant memory.

Victoria and Ricardo got married at Hacienda Siesta Alegre, a dreamy Puerto-Rican venue set in the hills surrounding the El Yunque Rainforest. It’s such a lush setting, and a beautiful place for an outdoor wedding.

The highlights of the day included an emotional first look (which was so much fun to photograph!), a tearful ceremony officiated by Ricardo’s dad, a torrential downpour as the first dance was coming to an end and a surprise birthday cake for Victoria’s grandmother.

Here are some of my favourite photos of the day!
