Vacation Paradise :: Puerto Rico Trip! Travel Photography

August 20, 2013 · 3 Comments

So, this post was supposed to just be a few of my favorite photos and like everything else, it evolved into a full post of all of our fun adventures on our recent vacation! And let me say, I need to vacation more often! It was wonderful! Adam and I were in Puerto Rico for a few days just for fun and relaxation & I can’t resist showing you all some of my favorite photos from the trip!

& stay tuned because I’m working on putting together another blog post for the week… Sia & Billy’s awesome wedding!! :)

 

Check out this plane we were on from Baltimore to Newark.. yikes! haha but this view from our hotel room… Cannot beat it! <3

Take me back to this beautiful water and sunshine! :)

On Thursday, we visited the town of Old San Juan – loved the beautiful blue roads (I think I read somewhere that they came from ship battlements?)

Old San Juan had some precious little kitties hanging out so you know I loved that! haha

Then we bravely rented a car and Adam drove us to Fajardo, where we took a tour of the awesome bioluminescent bay! And by tour I mean.. we kayaked in the dark waters out to the lagoon! When your paddle (or hand ;) ) disturbs the water, it disturbs these planton that glow! So pretty and peaceful :) Now.. consider that it was completely dark and I was using a waterproof point and shoot from a kayak so don’t judge these photos too harshly! haha

On Friday.. we checked out the rainforest! It was so lush and pretty :)

 

^Reason #54028342 why I love photoshop! haha Adam and I hopped into this lovely waterfall but of course, so did everyone else… Thanks photoshop for helping me take them out ;)

 

One last look at this amazing view…

…before our flight at 5:30am Saturday… oh boy! haha. That was quite an adventure, but hey at least we got to see this amazing sunrise!

 

In conclusion… I LOVED PUERTO RICO! :) Aka.. anyone getting engaged or married in the Caribbean, GIVE ME A CALL! <3 haha .. but really. :)

    […] 1 dinner at Mangoe's under string lights, my fave! Also plantains are SO good. I blame our trip to Puerto Rico a few years ago for my obsession with all things plantain. […]

It's about the experience, about the joy and the love and the relationships with the most important people in your life. Whether it's your wedding day, engagement, or family session, it's about you soaking up every bit of it, and having beautiful photos to cherish afterwards. I love love, and love meeting new people.

Before everyone gets ready to say ✌️ to 2020, Before everyone gets ready to say ✌️ to 2020, here’s a look back to NYE last year! The most gorgeous December day as Corinne and Zach celebrated their marriage in a sweet intimate ceremony at Artifact Coffee! Loved capturing this day for these two and so grateful that 2020 gave us the chance to reunite again when they helped officiate their close friends Lesley and John’s intimate wedding. Happy happy anniversary Corinne and Zach! Happy first year of marriage, and here’s to many more happy and healthy years to come!! 💗
