Garima and Michael met in Art History class. They knew it was meant to be after missing each other so much during a period away on the school break. She loves his goofy personality, and he loves her cooking. I love that they chose me for their elopement photography at El Morro, Puerto Rico.

Eloping to Old San Juan, Puerto Rico

One of their shared passions is travel. After graduating from school, they started traveling the world together. On one of those trips, they met and fell in love with Puerto Rico during their first real vacation together.

When confronted with planning their upcoming wedding, this lovely couple opted for a less traditional route than the big white wedding: they chose to elope.

When we met via FaceTime, they stressed that the most important thing for them was having a day about them and their relationship.

They wanted photos that really captured the romance and intimacy of their day. All those words together make me a thrilled photographer, so I immediately was into their event!

Getting Ready and First Look at Villa Herencia Hotel

On the wedding day, we arrived at the quaint Villa Herencia Hotel, a boutique hotel in the old city's most scenic zone.

There, I visited G&M while they were getting ready, took detailed shots, and got Michael prepared for their first look, which took place on the hotel's indoor patio. After this emotional moment, we all hopped in a cab.

We drove to El Morro, where their officiant was already waiting for us for their intimate wedding ceremony. After the ceremony, we started strolling through the Old City, with a few essential stops to change shoes (always bring flip-flops to relieve tired feet!) and refresh ourselves with limbers, a traditional frozen treat made of tropical fruit flavors.

It was a picture-perfect, emotional, and delightful day, and I'm beyond happy with the results. Thank you, Garima and Michael, for inviting me to your intimate wedding day. I hope the future holds many beautiful adventures ahead for you guys!

XO,
