Aruba Gay Couple Photoshoot: Why Oranjestad Is the Ultimate Colorful Backdrop
Oranjestad, Aruba — Picture this: vibrant colonial buildings, cobblestone streets, bursts of color at every corner, and two people madly in love. That’s the magic of a gay couple photoshoot in Oranjestad, Aruba’s lively and historic capital.
As a photographer who specializes in Aruba engagement sessions, I’ve captured countless love stories — but there’s something extra special about taking it to the colorful streets of Downtown Oranjestad. If you’re planning your wedding or honeymoon in Aruba, and you’re dreaming of something different than the typical beach session, let me show you why Oranjestad should be at the top of your list.
Why Oranjestad Is a Dream Location for Your Aruba Engagement Photos
Oranjestad isn’t just Aruba’s capital — it’s a Caribbean color bomb for your photos.
- Vibrant architecture: Think pastel pinks, bright yellows, tropical greens, and Dutch colonial details that create a backdrop you literally won’t find anywhere else in the Caribbean.
- Local charm: Wandering through Main Street gives you a taste of Aruba’s culture, charm, and rhythm. You’ll be dancing (maybe literally!) between colorful walls, quirky doorways, and hidden alley gems.
- More than just a beach: Aruba is known for its sunsets and sandy shores — but your love story deserves more than a cliché. These streets let your personality shine in a way beach sessions sometimes can’t.
And let’s be honest — you can still hit the beach later. 😎
Jonathan & Greg’s Oranjestad Experience: A Love Story in Full Color
Jonathan and Greg (he/him & he/him) came to Aruba with big travel hearts and even bigger smiles. We met in the heart of Downtown Oranjestad for a gay couple photoshoot that turned into a full-on adventure.
They wanted both couple shots and some individual portraits — and honestly, they SLAYED. The playful energy, the vibrant backgrounds, and the golden light made this one for the books.
Here’s what they had to say after the shoot:
“We had a great time with Steven. He understood the best spots around Aruba for us to take photos; as well as, the best lighting for each shot. We would definitely use Steven again, and if you find yourself on Aruba, you should book him too!”
