Even though he’d seen her earlier in the day, Santos couldn’t help the tears that began to fall as Victoria walked down the aisle to meet him. The day was finally here. The day they would become husband and wife. The day they had been longing for. And here she was, walking toward their forever.
Victoria & Santos decided to have a small, intimate vow exchange before their ceremony. It was such a beautiful and touching moment to witness. Because it was just the two of them (and a few cameras), they were able to really concentrate on each other without having to worry about anyone else. The moment was raw, meaningful, and perfect.
One of the many benefits of a first look is that we had lots of time with Victoria & Santos for their portraits. More time = more great images for your walls and to show off for generations to come. Of course, it didn’t hurt that the weather on their wedding day was absolutely perfect. Cool temps, soft breeze, fluffy clouds, and gorgeous sunlight.
We often hear from couples that they don’t want to do a first look because they are afraid it will ruin the aisle moment. Well, as Santos can attest to, that is totally not the case! Victoria & Santos had a first look, and yet Santos still cried as his bride walked up the aisle toward him.
How cool is that rose petal exit!? If you’re not going to have a grand exit from the reception at the end of the night, then consider one from your ceremony. Rose petals, bubbles, and bird seed are all great options.
Victoria & Santos had their reception at the Atlantic Dance Hall at the Disney Boardwalk. I just love that the marquee had their names on it. It was so cool and special!
Who says a bride should only dance with her father? Victoria decided to share a special dance with her mom as well, and it was such a sweet moment! It had me wishing I had danced with my momma on my wedding day. Also, Miguel and I have been married for 6 years, and Victoria is the first bride who has danced with her dad to the same song I danced with my daddy to <3 I may or may not have been crying behind my camera…
