Amanda and Matt’s love story began on the sandy shores of Sea Isle, where they met through mutual friends and spent three inseparable days together. From the start, it was clear they were the perfect match—Matt, spontaneous and driven, complemented Amanda’s adventurous spirit.
Both avid travelers and dog lovers, they share a love for their two dogs, Bait and Pepper.

Having both visited Aruba before, Matt, who had been coming to the island for years, and Amanda, who fell in love with the island as well, decided there was no better place to tie the knot than in the tropical paradise of Aruba. Their wedding at the Hilton Aruba was nothing short of magical.

Amanda looked stunning in her white satin mermaid dress, which featured an open back in a V- shape adorned with buttons that cascaded down the length of the gown. She paired it with delicate rose gold kitten heels and a lace veil with a beaded border trim, tucked into her elegant
low ponytail. Her bridesmaids complemented her look with dresses in different shades of pale pink, perfectly matching Amanda’s unique cascading bouquet made up of pale pink roses, white peonies, and orchids. The bridesmaids carried small round bouquets of white roses, adding to the romantic feel of the day.

The wedding décor was elegant and minimalist, with white roses and lilies lining the aisle, creating a timeless and serene atmosphere. But it wasn’t all tradition—Amanda and Matt added plenty of fun, personal touches. Instead of a traditional bouquet toss, Amanda dedicated her bouquet to her mother, a heartwarming moment that touched everyone present.

The couple and their guests enjoyed a quirky and fun photo booth set up by The Little One Aruba, featuring a vintage VW wagon with playful accessories for guests to enjoy. The party hit full swing with flashing lights, fun sunglasses, and an energetic dance floor, giving the day a truly
unforgettable ending. And of course, no celebration would be complete without a visit from some four-legged friends! Sgt. Pepper’s Friends made an appearance with adorable puppies, much to the delight of the couple and guests. (For more on how you can have puppies at your wedding, check out our previous blog post!)

Amanda and Matt’s wedding was a perfect blend of elegance and fun, a reflection of their unique love story, and a celebration that will be remembered for years to come.

Jenna and Jon’s love story began serendipitously in an Italian restaurant-turned-nightclub in New York. Little did they know that this chance meeting would forever change their lives. Their wedding in Aruba was a beautiful blend of elegance and beachy charm. The bridesmaids, dressed in mismatched sky blue dresses, added a modern twist to the wedding. This trend allowed each bridesmaid to choose a style she loved while staying perfectly coordinated. The
groomsmen looked dashing in a mix of blue and beige linen suits paired with crisp white shirts.

Jenna, the stunning bride, wore a fully embellished ivory mermaid dress with a chiffon train that added a dramatic touch to her look. Her updo was complemented by a light veil trimmed with crystal beads. The moment Jon picked up Jenna, the train flowed gracefully, creating a breathtaking effect. Her bouquet, a lovely mix of white and light blue roses, spray roses, and hydrangeas, with accents of greenery, added a fresh, romantic touch.

Before the ceremony, Jenna shared a first look with her bridesmaids. Their excited and loving reactions were a heartwarming start to the day. The first look with Jon was equally touching; he was awestruck by his beautiful bride. The couple chose to read their vows to each other in private before the ceremony, allowing us to capture their raw emotions in a truly intimate moment.

The ceremony decor was simple and clean, allowing the natural beauty of the Aruba beach to shine. The serene blue waters and peaceful boats anchored nearby perfectly complemented the wedding party’s colors. The Hyatt Aruba played host to this beautiful event, with a white wooden rectangular arch adorned with white roses, climbing plants, and eucalyptus serving as the centerpiece. The matching white chairs added to the elegant, minimalist vibe. As the ceremony progressed, the sky and sea’s blue hues transitioned into one of Aruba’s famous sunsets, creating a picture-perfect backdrop.

Jenna and Jon’s ceremony was filled with heartfelt moments as they exchanged their personal vows, officiated by Reverend Franklin from Fabulous Ceremonies Aruba. The love they shared was palpable and touched everyone present. The reception that followed was a joyous celebration of Jenna and Jon’s love, surrounded by friends and family. Excellent wedding coordination by Amare Weddings Aruba via Elite Productions Aruba ensured every detail was perfect, and all AV during the reception was flawlessly handled by Elite Productions. Laughter and dancing filled the air, making it a night to remember. The love and joy in the room were contagious, a demonstration of the couple’s connection and the support they have from their loved ones.

Natalie and Eugene’s love story is a demonstration of perfect timing. Though they attended the same elementary school and had mutual friends, they didn’t meet until the moment was just right. As Eugene eloquently stated in his vows, “True love is destined.” Their beautiful wedding at Tierra del Sol in Aruba was a perfect reflection of their unique story, and we were thrilled to capture every moment through our photography and videography services.

The couple shared a touching first look, where Eugene was visibly impressed by Natalie’s radiant beauty. Her dress, a masterpiece of delicate lace with ruches and intricate ivory, silver, and clear bead embellishments on the top, transitioned into a satin mermaid silhouette that hugged her figure perfectly and trailed into a graceful train. Natalie’s long veil danced in the wind, adding an ethereal touch to her look. Her bouquet, a nosegay of white roses, mirrored the elegant decor.

The bridal party looked stunning in sage satin slip dresses, while the gentlemen wore perfectly matching suits. This cohesive look was complemented by the elevated stage, which provided a spectacular setting for the group photo—definitely one of our favorites!

Tierra del Sol offered a spectacular open location with a panoramic view of the golf course nestled in Aruba’s rugged landscape and the wide-open ocean. On an open plateau, chairs were set up under a canopy draped in white chiffon, providing shade and comfort against the intense Aruban sun.

White roses adorned the aisle and the impressively large circular arch, elevated on a clean white stage. This setup ensured all guests had a perfect view of the couple as they exchanged their heartfelt vows. The flowers, dress, and veil beautifully danced in the wind, adding a dynamic element to the ceremony.
