Puerto Rico Wedding Photography

Puerto Rico is nice because it has all the Caribbean flavor without actually having to leave the United States! It's one of the larger Caribbean islands so it has more to offer over all, from more remote areas, "larger" cities, and small islands off the coast. With tourism on the rise here flights are becoming really cheap! I've seen flights for as low as $250.Old San Juan is a beautiful area that offers a more historic view of Puerto Rico. There are 2 main forts in the area within walking distance of each other here and the streets themselves are beautiful & colorful. Don't forget to make friends with the local gatos while you are there as well.Old San Juan is known for their population of strays cats. Don't worry, most of them are nice and many people seem to come by to feed them. There are a few quaint places to stay in Old San Juan but you will find most of the resorts just outside of town by 10-15 minutes. Trying the local cuisine is also a must in Puerto Rico and San Juan will be the best place to do this, definitely try the seafood mofongo!Vieques is the 134 square mile island located just east of the island. Because Vieques was closed off by the U.S. Navy for 60 years it remains less developed than the rest of Puerto Rico which is part of the appeal. It is a beautiful island with crystal clear blue water. This is one of the best places to do if you're looking for beautiful beaches in Puerto Rico. The only downfall is having to purchase a ferry ticket in advance to cross the water or take a very short trip on a pedal jumper from San Juan. The pedal jumper seems to be the easiest option.Can't forget to give credit to the rest of the island. While Vieques and Old San Juan are the most popular spots for weddings there is still a lot to be discovered. Cabo Rojo is a cute beach town known for some beautiful beaches that are a little off the beaten path, Playa Buyé and Playa Sucia. One last area that must be mentioned is Puerto Rico's El Yunque Rain Forest - which is technically the only rainforest in the U.S. forest system. With over a dozen trails, tons of waterfalls and enormous trees, it's worth adding to the extensive list of activities Puerto Rico has to offer. We love Puerto Rico but feel free to browse through other destination wedding locations here or check out other weddings we’ve shot. Please let us know if you have any questions for us about weddings or about traveling and planning.
