Carla & Josue's Wedding - Puerto Rico!!
Hey Everyone!!
We hope you've all had an astounding week and are enjoying this beautiful Friday we have here today!! Before I begin; this blog post is going to be extremely special to us. It was the last wedding of 2013 and it couldn't have been any better!! Please read below for the Spanish version and vendor details.
So today we're extremely excited to share with you all Carla & Josue's gorgeous wedding. Last week we flew out to Puerto Rico to document their full wedding weekend. As soon as we arrived they greeted us like family. After having photographed Carla's bothers' wedding a little over a year ago, we already knew some of their friends and family and we were convinced this wedding was going to be the perfect one to end the year. The last time I had gone to Puerto Rico was probably about 25-26 years ago so I didn't remember much except the fact that it's such a beautiful and fascinating island.
As soon as we arrived, Carla & Josue invited us over to their house and made us feel at home. Not only that but this is when the beginning of the never ending fried food extravaganza began. They made us some delicious Alcapurria's with Guava & Cheese. There went our healthy eating, it was definitely worth it though!! Later that night we hung out with them for a bit while they practiced some of the dances that were going to happen at the wedding the following day.
The wedding day was here, we woke up nice and early to get the day started. While the guys hung out at the beach, the girls got ready in their beach front rooms at the Embassy Suites in Dorado, Puerto Rico. Once everyone was all ready, their ceremony began at their hometown church Nuestra Señora del Carmen in Vega Baja followed by the insane party at Terra Campestre in Guaynabo. I'm telling you, there's just something about weddings out of the states where people PARTY Hard!!! Just as they were about to cut the cake, a spanish band came to rock the house with their "Batucada." Even after the party was over and the lights were on, people were still moving!!
The last couple of days there, we went out to the beach to Rock the Dress with Carla & Josue and then had a chance to visit Old San Juan, eat more amazing food, and spend a few ours on this beautiful caribbean beach . I guarantee it's only going to be a matter of months before we find ourselves back there again and we can't wait!!!
So, without further adieu, here are some of our favorite photos from Carla & Josue's wedding!!
Carla & Josue,
You two are the absolute best!! Since the moment we arrived till the moment we left, you guys took amazing care of us. There are no words to describe how honored we feel to have been chosen to document your wedding let alone fly us out from the states to do so. We had the best time ever and we can't wait to see you guys again!! We hope you love your photos and congratulations on your marriage!!
Love,
Richard & Andrea

Hola!! Esperamos que todos ustedes hayan tenido una increíble semana y estén disfrutando de este hermoso viernes! Antes de comenzar, quiero dejarle saber que este blog va a ser muy especial para nosotros. Fue la última boda de 2013 y no podría haber sido mejor!
Así que hoy estamos muy contentos de compartir con ustedes la boda de Carla y Josue en Puerto Rico. El pasado fin de semana estuvimos en Puerto Rico para documentar su boda. Cuando llegamos nos recibieron como familia. Después de haber fotografiado la boda del hermano de Carla, ya conocíamos algunos de sus amigos y familiares y estábamos convencidos de que esta boda iba a ser la perfecta para terminar el año. La última vez que había ido a Puerto Rico fue probablemente hace unos 25 a 26 años, así que no recuerdo mucho, excepto el hecho de que es una isla hermosa!!
Cuando llegamos, Carla y Josue nos invitaron a su casa y nos hicieron sentir como en casa. Aquí fué cuando empezó el desastre de las comidas fritas. Nos hicieron unas Alcapurrias con trozitos de guayava y queso que estaban deliciosos. Más tarde nos pasamos un rato con ellos mientras practicaban algunas de los bailes para la boda.
El día de la boda nos despertamos bien temprano para comenzar el día. Mientras los chicos se relajaron en la playa, las chicas se preparaban en sus habitaciones frente a la playa en el Embassy Suites in Dorado, Puerto Rico. Cuando todo el mundo estaba listo, la ceremonia comenzó en la iglesia Nuestra Señora del Carmen in Vega Baja seguido por la fiesta en Terra Campestre en Guaynabo. Definitivamente saben cómo divertirse y justo cuando estaban a punto de cortar la torta llego la Batucada para extender la fiesta!!
Los últimos días que estuvimos allí, nos fuimos a la playa para la sesión de Carla y Josue. Luego tuvimos la oportunidad de visitar al Viejo San Juan, comer más comida rica y pasar un poco de tiempo en la playa. Te garantizo que en unos cuantos meses estamos de regreso y no podemos esperar!!! Así que, aquí están algunas de nuestras fotos favoritas de la boda de Carla y Josue!
Carla y Josue,
Ustedes son los mejores! Desde el momento en que llegamos hasta el momento que nos fuimos, ustedes se ocuparon de nosotros. No hay palabras para describir lo que sentimos por haber sido elegido para documentar su boda y mucho menos llevarnos a Puerto Rico!! Nos lo pasamos muy bien y no podemos esperar a verlos de nuevo! Esperamos que les encanten sus fotos y felicidades en tu matrimonio!!!
Besos,
Richard & Andrea
