Hay parejas que llegan como clientes y terminan convirtiéndose en personas especiales.


Ese fue el caso de Raúl y Mary. Desde el comienzo de la planificación de su boda compartieron conmigo muchas ideas y detalles sobre cómo imaginaban su gran día. Cuando finalmente llegó, fue hermoso ver cómo todo aquello que habíamos conversado se convirtió en realidad.


Una boda llena de detalles


Mary preparó personalmente su ramo, un detalle que inmediatamente llamó mi atención por lo personal y diferente que era.


Raúl, por su parte, apostó por un estilo clásico y elegante, con detalles como sus zapatos Hugo Boss y sus accesorios Louis Vuitton.


Cada elemento tenía su propio carácter y juntos reflejaban perfectamente la personalidad de la pareja.


Una ceremonia llena de emoción


La ceremonia se celebró en la Catedral de Ponce.


Uno de mis momentos favoritos fue ver la reacción de Raúl cuando vio a Mary llegar. La emoción fue evidente y las lágrimas dijeron todo lo que las palabras no podían expresar.


Son precisamente esos momentos los que hacen que fotografiar bodas sea tan especial: emociones reales que suceden una sola vez.


Celebrando en el Antiguo Casino de Ponce


Después de la ceremonia, nos trasladamos al Antiguo Casino de Ponce, uno de los espacios históricos más emblemáticos de la ciudad. El edificio, construido en 1922, es actualmente uno de los principales centros de recepción para bodas y celebraciones en el sur de Puerto Rico.


La decoración de Silver Noise Party Rental, combinada con los tonos violetas, las flores y la elegante arquitectura del Casino, creó el escenario perfecto para la celebración de Raúl y Mary.


También aprovechamos algunos de los rincones del edificio para crear sus retratos de recién casados.


Las escaleras, los espejos, los salones y la arquitectura del Casino nos dieron diferentes escenarios para contar su historia.

Ponce como escenario


Para cerrar la sesión, salimos del Casino y aprovechamos otro de los lugares más reconocibles de Ponce: el Parque de Bombas.


La imagen de Raúl y Mary frente a este edificio histórico es una de mis favoritas porque reúne tres elementos importantes en una sola fotografía: la pareja, su boda y la ciudad que fue escenario de su historia.



Y eso es lo que busco en cada boda: crear fotografías que no solamente recuerden cómo se veían, sino también cómo se sintió ese día y dónde comenzó esta nueva etapa de sus vidas.
