Aimee and Erik's day was like a dream, beginning to end. Although simple, a microwedding has all the same logistical challenges that a conventional big wedding has. This time, it was only for a tiny group of people, in smaller locations.

One of the couple's wedding-day priorities was photography, so their wedding day timeline was optimized for that purpose.

Wedding Preparations and First Looks at Fairmont El San Juan Hotel

My day started at Aimee's villa at Fairmont El San Juan Hotel. This was my first time visiting the resort after being closed for renovations, so I was pretty excited we would be doing a lot of portraits there.

Aimee's bridal look was everything. She looked stunning in her big, gorgeous dress, and the bouquet Maribel from Ribel+Co crafted for her was like from out of a magazine. After Aimee was ready, we quickly visited Erik's suite for his preparation before moving outdoors for their first look or reveal. 

Having never even seen them before, I was getting to know Aimee & Erik on-camera. I'd already decided they were pretty lovely and charming individuals. Still, the minute they joined each other on their reveal, their amazing personalities (and their smiles) multiplied times a thousand: they are a perfect match! After their exciting first look, we moved onto other shaded areas of the resort to get some wedding portraits and video footage before we moved on to their ceremony. I love this photo set!
