Puerto Rico offers more than stunning beaches and vibrant culture—it welcomes couples from all backgrounds to celebrate their love. Since 2015, LGBTQ+ couples can legally marry on the island, making it a dream destination for love-filled, tropical celebrations. For those planning an LGBTQ+ wedding in Puerto Rico, this beautiful island provides the perfect backdrop to celebrate love authentically and joyfully.
As an LGBTQ+ wedding photographer in Puerto Rico, I felt thrilled when this couple reached out to share their story. From the very beginning, their love and excitement shone through. I knew their wedding would be truly special—and it absolutely was.
Casa Olímpica: A Historic Venue Full of Romance
The couple selected Casa Olímpica, located in Old San Juan, as the setting for their big day. This venue offers a perfect blend of history, elegance, and Caribbean charm. Its dramatic colonial architecture and open-air courtyard created the ideal backdrop for their emotional ceremony and lively reception.
Better yet, Casa Olímpica’s central location allowed for a smooth timeline and easy transitions between photo moments, making the entire day feel relaxed and effortless.
Every Detail Told Their Love Story
From start to finish, this wedding was filled with personal touches. Hitched Affair flawlessly planned the event, ensuring everything ran smoothly. Decofiore brought the space to life with vibrant florals, while Axel Barreto created a cake that looked just as good as it tasted.
To keep the party going, SBN Wedding DJ curated the perfect playlist. The dance floor stayed full all night, and the laughter never stopped.
Pride, Celebration, and Community
It feels especially fitting to share this wedding during San Juan Pride. As a queer-inclusive wedding photographer, I believe every couple deserves to feel safe, celebrated, and seen. This celebration was more than a party—it was a joyful reminder of how far we’ve come and how powerful love can be.
If you’re planning a same-sex wedding in Puerto Rico, I’d love to help you capture your story. Let’s celebrate your love together in a place that honors it.
