luz + lance | hacienda siesta alegre | puerto rico

There are so many wonderful things that can be said about Luz & Lance! We met them a little over a year ago through my mother/salsa community and instantly became friends. We photographed them two times before their wedding, once here, then here and their outwardly love for each other was palpable. This January in Puerto Rico we had the wonderful opportunity to meet and spend 4 days with their equally amazing  families. As an added bonus, from the time we met them, their friends became our friends so the wedding felt very intimate for us. Honestly it felt just like our wedding - non-stop happiness and happy crying seemed to be the common theme. Being from Puerto Rico, Luz obviously had strong ties to the area and with the help of her loving and generous mother, they chose Hacienda Siesta Alegre for their ceremony and reception. Everything was perfect and the day was filled with happiness and a beautiful energy. Lance's vows may have been my all time favorite, ever! There wasnt a dry eye in the crowd and both Kristiaan and I found ourselves crying behind our cameras - simply amazing. There were even a surprise band and carnival dancers that really got the crowd moving.

The day after the wedding we photographed them in Old San Juan before making our way across the island to Cabo Rojo before rushing them back to the airport for their honeymoon journey.
