The Grotto
If you have never been to the Grotto, even as a non-religious person, it is such a beautiful place. The ceremony area is very public, but feels so intimate with the reverence that all people have when coming to visit. Natalia and Juan's ceremony was led by a Spanish-speaking minister and accompanied by their selected mariachi band. There was space for the couple and families to get ready, and ample room for their guests to be seated on gorgeous wooden benches. Just up the elevator is your entrance into a beautiful world, with gorgeous gardens full of quiet giant trees and lush flowers. It is the perfect area to have your wedding ceremony, and it made for such stunning photography.
The Aerie at Eagle Landing
The reception venue that the two picked to celebrate their love story was absolutely perfect. The beautiful Aerie is situated in such a gorgeous neighborhood with a golf course. With stunning blue skies and carefully preened greenery, it made a perfect backdrop. The best part? Completely dog friendly, as well! The pups really stole the show, and even partied until the later hours with this vibe of a wedding group! Capturing photos of happy friends and family was so easy when everyone was impressed with the food, the decor, and the general feel of love in the air. I love how dreamy these photos turned out. The glow of the sun was the real main character!
