Kaylie & Cameron’s Luxury Wedding at the Hyatt Regency Resort Aruba
If you’re dreaming of a luxury destination wedding in Aruba, let me introduce you to a love story that unfolded with ocean breezes, vibrant blooms, and heartfelt moments at one of the island’s most iconic venues — the Hyatt Regency Resort Aruba.
As an Aruba wedding photographer, I’ve had the privilege of capturing many beautiful celebrations, but Kaylie and Cameron’s wedding at the Hyatt Regency Resort Aruba was something truly special. From emotional first looks to private vows by the sea, this day was filled with meaningful moments and picture-perfect backdrops.
Getting Ready at the Hyatt Regency Resort Aruba
The day began with Cameron getting ready alongside his dad — a quiet and touching start to what would be an unforgettable celebration. We captured a few portraits of him in the elegant lobby of the Hyatt Regency Resort Aruba, where the natural light, polished floors, and tropical greenery created the perfect setting for timeless groom portraits.
Meanwhile, Kaylie was getting ready in the bridal suite with her closest family and friends. Her invitation suite was beautifully designed, and her wedding dress? Absolutely breathtaking. With a long veil adorned with delicate white flowers and bright pops of orange and fuchsia in her bouquet, she looked like a dream.
As an Aruba wedding photographer, these behind-the-scenes moments are some of my favorite to capture. If you’re planning a wedding at the Hyatt Regency Aruba, don’t skip photos in the lobby — it’s one of the most underrated photo spots!
First Looks & Private Vows
One of the most heartfelt moments was the emotional first look between Kaylie and her father. That was followed by a surprise-filled first look with Cameron — his expression when he saw Kaylie said it all.
Kaylie and Cameron chose to share their private vows before the ceremony — just the two of them, ocean breeze in the background. These quiet, emotional moments are what turn a wedding into a lifelong memory, and it’s an honor to photograph.
As a destination wedding photographer in Aruba, I love guiding couples through creating a timeline that allows space for these kinds of moments.
Portraits & Family Photos in Paradise
After their vows, we moved into portraits. The Hyatt Regency Resort Aruba offers lush tropical gardens, beach views, and elegant architecture that create the perfect backdrop for bride and groom portraits. We also did family portraits and bridal party photos — including a beautiful moment with Kaylie’s 92-year-old grandfather.
Whether you’re planning a small wedding or a grand celebration, this venue is a dream for Aruba wedding photography.
A Beach Ceremony Styled by The Perfect Team
The ceremony took place right on the beach — and it was nothing short of magical. The setup was styled by The Perfect Team Event Planner, known for their elegant and vibrant designs. With a blend of tropical colors, including fuchsia and orange florals, and the sound of waves crashing in the background, it was the ideal Aruba beach wedding setting.
As an Aruba luxury wedding photographer, I always recommend working with a local planner like Amare Weddings Aruba — Nicole and her team do an incredible job at making your vision come to life effortlessly.
Cocktail Hour & an Emotional Reception
After the ceremony, guests enjoyed a cocktail hour on the beach, followed by the grand entrance of the couple at the reception. Their first dance was romantic and sweet — but the real tearjerker moment came during the father-daughter dance.
Midway through the song, Kaylie’s mom and grandfather joined in, and toward the end, Kaylie shared a dance with her grandfather. These are the moments that make weddings unforgettable.
As a luxury wedding photographer in Aruba, I’m always ready to capture candid, once-in-a-lifetime emotions like these.
The night wrapped with speeches, cake cutting, and an energetic dance floor under the stars — a perfect ending to a destination wedding in Aruba.
