This wedding at Hacienda Siesta Alegre was everything I love about photographing in Puerto Rico — lush mountain views, the sounds of coquí at sunset, and couples who fully embrace the island’s magic. There’s something timeless about this venue. Between its Spanish colonial arches, tropical gardens, and that open-air courtyard filled with light, it’s easy to see why so many destination couples fall in love with it.
An Emotional Ceremony with a View
As the couple exchanged vows overlooking the lush rainforest, the light shifted into that soft golden glow every photographer dreams of. The ceremony felt intimate — just family, close friends, and the sounds of nature all around. Every look, every tear, and every smile told their story.
Reception Under the Lights
When night fell, the courtyard came alive with laughter and dancing. String lights reflected off the tiles, creating a warm, magical atmosphere. The music, the joy, and the way everyone celebrated together reminded me why I adore documenting weddings here.

Every time I return to this venue, I discover new little corners filled with beauty — hidden gardens, soft light filtering through vines, views that never get old. It’s the perfect place for couples who want to celebrate surrounded by nature and history while keeping things relaxed and full of heart.
