Kyle & Rochelle

Kyle & Rochelle

Kyle and Rochelle were both born and raised in Ohio. He’s a financial advisor, and she works in
skincare. They met in June 2024, and their connection was immediate. Kyle, who had been
married before, had always said he’d be open to something serious again with the right person—
and with Rochelle, it all fell into place.

They booked an island tour with us, unaware that it would turn into a life-changing day. Their first
stop was Westpunt Beach, a quiet, untouched corner of the island. That’s where Kyle got down
on one knee and proposed. She said yes, completely surprised. It was private, natural, and
exactly the kind of moment they’ll never forget.

The tour continued to the Balashi Gold Mill Ruins, where the mix of textures and soft light created
the perfect setting for more engagement photos. It was made sweeter with a bottle of Veuve
Clicquot. The couple share a love for travel, great food, and collecting wine from every place they
visit.

Kyle & Rochelle’s final stop was Mangel Halto, just as the sun was beginning to set. The sky lit up
in warm tones, closing the day with a peaceful and picture-perfect moment by the water.

We were honored to photograph this day for them—especially knowing how much Rochelle loves
capturing their travels. If you’re thinking about proposing in Aruba, an island tour is the perfect
way to do it. You’ll explore beautiful, off-the-beaten-path spots, travel comfortably, and walk away
with a visual story that reflects the moment exactly as it happened

Jacquelyn & Ryan

Jacquelyn & Ryan got married on the sandy shores of Aruba, with their beachfront ceremony at
the Aruba Marriott Resort. The ceremony setup was minimal and elegant: a white wooden arch
draped in sheer fabric stood at the edge of the sea, framed by rows of white chairs. The calm,
slightly overcast sky created a beautiful softness to the light—ideal for photos.

 

These two met at Mass General in Boston, where Jacquelyn was working as an ER nurse and
Ryan as a security officer. He made a point of showing up with snacks, coffee, and handwritten
notes, and she made a point of pretending not to notice—until she did. She says she went from
not caring to kind of looking for him at work. That shift sparked something real.

Despite their age difference and different family dynamics, they’ve always had an easy rhythm.
She comes from a big, lively Massachusetts family. He’s more reserved and grew up with a
smaller circle, but over time, he found his place among the crowd. They balance each other well—
she’s the spark, he’s the steady. A perfect match of energy and calm.

Jacquelyn wore a fitted lace gown with a scalloped train and a deep V neckline with sheer illusion.
The dress was detailed yet modern, with floral embroidery that flowed naturally into the layers of
soft tulle. Her bouquet was a classic mix of white roses. One especially sweet touch: her sandals
featured custom embroidery of their beloved dog.

Personal touches were woven throughout the day. Such as the groomsmen’s ties, which had
small photo prints stitched into the underside, to the custom sunglasses and denim jacket —it all
told their story. The celebration was warm, emotional, and full of personality.

We were honored to capture this wedding through photo and video, and we’re glad these memories will be treasured for years to come. Planning a wedding in Aruba? We’re here to help you capture the real moments in a way that feels true to you.

golden-hour glow for their wedding portraits. The warm colors painted across the sky made their

incredible moments beyond the beach. As a photographer himself, Fred knew the importance of
finding unique backdrops, and we were more than happy to bring them to the best hidden gems
Aruba has to offer.

Their adventure started in the colorful streets of Oranjestad, where they posed against colonial
Dutch architecture with pops of bright Caribbean hues. Next, we headed to the iconic fofoti tree, a
signature landmark of Aruba.

At Tres Trapi, they stood on the rugged cliffs, the waves crashing behind them, creating a
dramatic and adventurous look. But they didn’t stop there—Kristine and Fred wanted something
truly different. They jumped straight into the water, capturing mid-air action shots and going fully
underwater for unique split shots that showcase both the sky and sea.

Booking an island tour after your wedding is a perfect way to explore Aruba while getting
breathtaking photos in diverse locations. You’ll travel comfortably in a luxury SUV, stopping at
secluded beaches, dramatic cliffs, and vibrant city streets—all while creating memories that go
beyond the wedding day.

Jamal & Gabriella

Jamal & Gabriella

Jamal and Gabriella’s first trip to Aruba was already filled with excitement—beautiful beaches,
incredible food, and the adventure of experiencing a new country together. But what Gabriella
didn’t know was that Jamal had something even more special planned for their trip—a surprise
proposal during an island tour that would turn this into a memory of a lifetime.

Jamal, a business consultant from Jersey City, spends his days navigating the fast-paced world of
New York City. But beyond the hustle, he has a deep love for nature and the outdoors. Gabriella, a
Realtor and TikTok creator, brings energy and spontaneity into everything she does. The two met
on Hinge, and after just a few dates—including one at a sports bar that sealed the deal for Jamal
—they knew they had found something real.

Jamal wanted the proposal to be a complete surprise. Instead of a typical beach dinner or sunset
setup, he opted for an island tour—an adventure that felt natural for their love of exploring. We
picked them up from their hotel and set off in a luxury SUV, stocked with cool drinks, ready to
show them some of Aruba’s most breathtaking, untouched locations.
The couple soaked in the views, stopping at rugged landscapes that most tourists never get to
see. Gabriella thought it was just another incredible excursion—until we reached a particularly
stunning, secluded spot along Aruba’s north coast.

As they admired the crashing waves, Jamal dropped to one knee. Gabriella’s reaction was pure
shock—followed by laughter, tears, and an excited “YES!”. The moment was intimate, raw, and
completely authentic to who they are as a couple.
Our team captured every second in in stunning photography, ensuring that they would be able to
relive this incredible moment forever.

After the proposal, the celebration wasn’t over. The tour continued, now with a newly engaged
couple glowing with happiness. They toasted with champagne at the Balashi Gold Mills, taking in
the view as they processed the life-changing moment.

A surprise island tour proposal is the perfect way to blend adventure, intimacy, and breathtaking
scenery into one unforgettable experience. Whether you’re planning something extravagant or a
simple, heartfelt moment, we can help capture it all.

As Rachel walked down the aisle, there was not a dry eye in sight. Nick’s emotional reaction to seeing his beautiful bride was heartwarming, and it reaffirmed the deep love they shared. 

The post-ceremony celebrations were filled with heartfelt speeches. The mother of the bride imparted wisdom on creating a family legacy, emphasizing the importance of cherishing memories together beyond material possessions. And the best man, drawing from his two years of married experience, shared five valuable pieces of advice: to be each other’s best friend, to resolve conflicts before going to bed, to embrace change, to never give up on each other, and to let go of the little things. 

As their photography and videography team, we felt privileged to capture these touching moments, knowing that they were just the beginning of Rachel and Nick’s extraordinary journey together.

Emily, radiant in her gown, was the epitome of grace and beauty. Her dress featured delicate floral embroidery with intricate embellishments that added texture and romance to the look.

The gown, with its full length and low-cut back, also had sheer illusion detailing on the top and a tasteful décolleté, balancing elegance with a hint of allure. Her exceptionally long veil, hung from a half-updo, carried matching floral embellishments that intensified toward the fully embroidered hem, adding a touch of whimsy as it flowed behind her.

Emily carried a classic white bouquet with mixed florals and green accents, perfectly complementing the natural, sophisticated vibe of the ceremony. She wore silver, embellished kitten heels, a practical yet stylish choice, and for her first dance, her gown’s long skirt featured a hidden button that allowed her to carefully tie it up, making it both beautiful and functional.
