about Puerto Rico: perfect destination for exotic weddings

Once upon a time, in a metropolis not far away, a soon-to-be-bride was anything but blushing. Frustrated by the unimaginative wedding option her city had to offer, she wondered if her childhood dreams of saying “I Do” barefoot on the beach was possible.

Puerto Rico has been a favored site for destination weddings for years. Our Caribbean island paradise is ideal for couples who do not want a conventional wedding but want something unique.

Puerto Rico is a short flight away, boast year around summer climate, widespread use of the English language, same US currency, and -best of all- no passport required, if you are a US citizen.

From exquisite beaches to historic 500 years old Cathedrals and churches to tropical rainforest to romantic haciendas, the island variety of landscapes, provides the perfect place to promise eternal love.

Old San Juan is virtual time capsule that exude Old-World charm and romance. For example, El Convento, a 17th century convent and architectural landmark that has been carefully restored, is one of the most popular venues. El Convento is across one of the America’s oldest Cathedral, the historical Old San Juan Cathedral.

If you head south you will find Ponce, “La Ciudad Señorial”, with its european victorian flair and the world famous “Castillo Serralles” and Ponce Cathedral.

If you want to stay in the metro area but have a beach wedding you have the fabulous San Juan Ritz-Carlton. Or you can venture toward Puerto Rico west coast where you have beautiful sunset bathed weddings at either Rincon Beach Resort or Rincon of the Sea Resort.

But if you want something even more exotic, you can venture to Vieques where you will find incredible pristine beaches at the Martineau Bay Resort.

Whatever your island wedding fantasy, it can come true in Puerto Rico.

Art Books By Couture

One of the main things that I wanted to accomplish at WPPI (other than having a great time with my wife) was to checkout new albums. I am excited of what I saw and the new options we have for you.

Certainly, we saw lot of the same but also some exciting new concepts and ideas. Some were from Companies we already work with like GraphiStudio and PictoBooks. Some company are trying to push the threshold of what has become traditional for a more daring, stylish and avant garde look. One of such companies is Couture books. Their products is like nothing I ever seen before and while is not for everyone it add depth to our excellent product line.

We are fortunate because now the album can become part of the concept design for your wedding. That is why we constantly are in the lookout for new products.

From now on, we will no longer call them Wedding Albums but Wedding Art Books. Not just a change of name but a realization that now we can integrate the book outward design to the whole concept we develop when we design your album.

We will continue our excellent relationship with GraphiStudio, PictoBooks and Asuka Books. We have also added the following lines: Couture Books, Equinox and White Gloves First Edition Book. With this six international binder we will be able to offer a gamma and depth of design choices that will allow us to truly create a unique Wedding Art Book for you.

I have to admit that one of the new lines that excite me the most is Couture Books. They are truly unique. Here is a small movie so you can see what I mean…

Are you looking for a videographer?

It goes without saying — this is not your parents’ wedding. Unless you love the idea of setting up smileless, formal black-and-white family portraits for the retro chic factor, you’re probably looking for natural yet beautifully composed photos and videos that together capture the real essence of you and your wedding. That’s right, together — it’s essential for photo and video to work as a combo to get the best shots (no competing flashes or egos).

That is why many couples asks me to recommend them a good videographer. There are many good ones on the island, but there are two I can without any hesitation recommend. They are both very dependable, responsible, and creative. These are two of my favorites:
