Intimate Copamarina Wedding Photographer: Overwater Bungalow Elopement
Some love stories find their magic in quiet moments—wrapped in the soft whispers of the ocean breeze and the golden hues of a Caribbean sunset. For Mayzie and Owen, their Copamarina Beach Resort wedding was a heartfelt reflection of their love—tranquil, deeply personal, and quiet tenderness.
A Love Rooted in the Caribbean
Puerto Rico wasn't just a getaway for Mayzie and Owen; it was a place they had fallen in love with repeatedly. Their many visits had sparked dreams of calling this island home, making it the only destination that felt right when it came time to "I do." The Copamarina Beach Resort in Guánica—a secluded beach escape with calm Caribbean waters, swaying palm trees, and breathtaking sunsets—provided the perfect backdrop for their day.
Their elopement wasn't about grand decorations or extravagant details. It was about them—two hearts, handwritten promises, and the ocean as their witness.
Breaking Traditions: Getting Ready Together
Unlike most couples who spend the hours before their wedding apart, Mayzie and Owen chose to get ready together—an intimate decision that reflected their deep connection. There was no rush, no nerves—just stolen glances, soft laughter, and gentle touches.
As Mayzie slipped into her stunning bohemian-inspired lace gown, Owen buttoned up his blazer, completing his look with a cowboy hat, boots, and a statement belt buckle. The moment he zipped up her dress, hands steady and a heart full, it was clear: it was the quiet, beautiful beginning of their forever.
A Special Gift: Letters to my Future Husband
Just before the ceremony, Mayzie surprised Owen with something genuinely priceless—a pack of letters she had been writing to her future husband since high school. As he unfolded years of heartfelt words, his emotions overflowed. Tears welled in his eyes as he read the dreams and promises of a younger Mayzie, unknowingly written for the man who now stood before her, ready to be her forever.
A Sunset Ceremony Over the Water at Copamarina Beach Resort
With the golden glow of the late afternoon painting the sky, Mayzie and Owen exchanged their wedding vows in Copamarina's overwater gazebo. In this picturesque location, the Caribbean Sea stretched endlessly behind them. The soft rustling of palm trees and the rhythmic lull of the waves set the scene as they exchanged vows.
There was no crowd, no distractions—only the two of them, speaking words meant only for each other. And then, just like that, they were married!
Golden Hour Bliss Captured by a Copamarina Wedding Photographer
As the sun dipped lower, the newlyweds wandered through Copamarina Beach Resort's gardens and quiet beachfront, capturing their love in effortless, sun-kissed portraits. The energy was soft, romantic, and full of bliss—a couple truly in their element, savoring the warmth of their first sunset as husband and wife.
There were no staged poses, no forced smiles—just walks on the sand, golden hour embraces, and unfiltered joy. The stunning Puerto Rico beach images spoke for themselves—portraits bathed in golden light, filled with genuine connection and undeniable love.
Mayzie and Owen's elopement was about stripping everything down to its purest form: love, presence, and an unwavering commitment to each other.
As the night settled in, I left the couple to enjoy a romantic dinner on the beach in Puerto Rico, reflecting on the day that marked the beginning of their forever at Copamarina Beach Resort.
Many blessings on this new adventure together!
