Meeting Zully and Javier

When we met during their engagement session in Old San Juan, I was thrilled and enchanted by Zully and Javier's super cheerful personalities.

Since that day, I had been more than ready for their wedding at the beautiful Hacienda Don Carmelo in Vega Baja, a place I haven't visited in a very long time!

It's no secret that I am a fan and specialist in hacienda weddings. They are beautiful, require little decoration, and have greenery everywhere!

Wedding Day at Hacienda Don Carmelo

Early that day, we arrived at the girls' preparation at the little house in Hacienda Don Carmelo. The room was packed! While Zully was getting ready, I took photos of the beautiful details.

I was melting over the wedding dress and the succulent flower bouquet. We had essential plans, so as soon as Zully and her mother were ready, we took their photos and set off in a caravan for an exceptional visit.

A Very Special Visit Before the Ceremony

Zulaideth's grandmother couldn't attend the wedding, so we visited her. Many family members were at the house, excited to be the first to see the bride.

Grandma was excited and proud of her beautiful granddaughter and the giant step she was about to take in a few minutes. After tears and hugs, we returned to Hacienda Don Carmelo, where Javier and his groomsmen were waiting for a brief session before the ceremony.

An Emotional Ceremony at Hacienda Don Carmelo

As soon as Zully started walking down the aisle, Javier was deeply moved, making us all cry. The ceremony was super emotional, full of laughter, tears, advice, and congratulations from the godparents and parents. It was perfect.

Photo Session at Hacienda Don Carmelo

After the ceremony and the group photos, we walked around Hacienda Don Carmelo in Vega Baja to take the newlywed photos.

It was beautiful photographing them; Zully and Javier couldn't contain their laughter and excitement—and that's super photogenic!

My favorite part was the reception. It had been so long since I felt so many emotions in a single wedding. Each of the speeches during the toast moved the newlyweds and everyone present.

The love and joy were highly palpable. It was beautiful to work in such an atmosphere!

Then came the dances, and it was there that Javier and his mother stole the show with a bomba choreography that had us dancing until the wee hours of the morning.

It was incredible to be part of their day. Thank you for entrusting me with such beautiful memories.

If you are planning your wedding and looking for a magical and enchanting place. In that case, I definitely recommend Hacienda Don Carmelo in Vega Baja. 

XO,
