There is something truly special about a wedding by the ocean.


For Melanie and Derek, their wedding day at the Courtyard by Marriott Isla Verde Beach Resort in Puerto Rico was filled with beautiful moments, genuine emotions, and the love of their closest family and friends.


From the moment we arrived, Melanie's excitement was contagious. She was smiling, enjoying every moment, and completely ready to celebrate one of the most important days of her life.


The Perfect Wedding Day in Puerto Rico


With the beautiful Caribbean as their backdrop, Melanie and Derek exchanged their vows surrounded by the people who mean the most to them.


Every detail came together beautifully thanks to Ariadne Comulada and the KAZ Events team, who helped coordinate the day and ensured everything flowed smoothly from beginning to end.


Melanie's bridal look was created by By Natcha Salon, while the beautiful floral décor by Lorraine's Flowers added an elegant touch to the celebration.


A Celebration Filled with Music, Fun and Beautiful Details


As the day continued, the celebration became even more memorable.


SBN Entertainment kept the energy going with music throughout the celebration, while Queques by Me created a beautiful wedding cake for the occasion.


Guests also enjoyed capturing fun memories with Tu Photobooth, adding another unforgettable experience to an already incredible celebration.


From the ceremony to the final moments of the reception, Melanie and Derek's wedding was a beautiful reminder that the best wedding days are not only about the details—they are about the people, emotions, and memories shared throughout the day.


It was an honor for Rafy Vega Photography to document this incredible celebration and preserve these memories for Melanie and Derek to enjoy for years to come.
