Aruba is a tropical paradise that offers stunning beaches, clear blue waters, and a carefree island lifestyle. It’s no wonder that this Caribbean island is a popular spot for destination weddings. One of the best places to tie the knot on Aruba is the Divi Resort. This all-inclusive resort offers everything you need for a dream wedding in Aruba.

The Divi Resort Aruba has several beautiful locations where you can exchange vows. The white sand, turquoise waters, and tropical palm trees make for a romantic and picturesque setting. You can say your “I dos” with the sound of the waves in the background and the Caribbean sun setting over the horizon.

I got the honour of documenting Rorry and Christian’s wedding on the beautiful island of Aruba. Rorry and Christian, thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to be part of such an amazing and special day. You two, your family and friends, will forever be part of my heart. Much love & appreciation.

A first look on your wedding day is a special moment that many couples choose to include in their wedding plans. It’s an intimate moment shared between the bride and groom, and it’s the perfect option for you if you want to spend some alone time with the love of your life on your special day.

Here are 3 reasons why I believe you should plan a First Look on Your Wedding Day:

1. A first look allows for more time for photographs. Wedding days can be hectic, and there’s often limited time for photographs. By having a first look, the couple can take many of their photographs before the ceremony, leaving more time for candid shots and photographs with family and friends during the reception.
2. It can help calm nerves. Weddings can be stressful, and the thought of walking down the aisle in front of a crowd of people can be daunting. A first look can be a calming moment for the couple to share before the ceremony, helping to alleviate some of the nervous energy.
3. A first look can also be a special moment to remember. Many couples choose to have a first look because it allows them to have a private moment together before the ceremony. It’s a time for them to reflect on their relationship and the significance of their wedding day.

While a first look is not for everyone, it’s worth considering as an option for your wedding day. Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to have a first look on your wedding day is a personal one, and it’s important to consider what you and your partner feel most comfortable with. But, it’s a great opportunity to add a special and unique touch to your wedding and create memories that will last a lifetime.
