San Nicolas Murals
Love knows no bounds, and for Jeff and Jay, the enchanting streets of San Nicolaas, Aruba, became the canvas for their beautiful engagement story. As an Aruba Wedding Photographer, I had the honor of capturing their love amidst the vibrant murals that grace the town, creating an extraordinary backdrop for their journey towards a lifetime of happiness.

Town Hall of Aruba
This beautifully restored turn of the century mansion in Oranjestad was a wedding gift from a member of one of Aruba’s first families to his beloved bride. Only here is where civil ceremonies are performed with signing of the official certificate after submitting paperwork.
If you’re getting married in Aruba at the Town Hall, don’t forget to take gorgeous photos at the balcony and surroundings.
Aruba Divi Tree
The famous Divi Divi (Watapana) tree is Aruba’s natural compass, always pointing in a southwestern direction due to the trade winds that blow across the island from the north-east. Aruba’s trademark: the Divi Divi or Watapana tree.
This is the perfect location for a Destination Wedding in Aruba.

Aruba Natural Bridge
Nestled on the northern coast of Aruba, the Natural Bridge stands as a testament to the island’s natural beauty. With the gentle sound of waves caressing the shore, and the cool breeze tugging at their clothes, Angelica and Jonathon stepped onto the sun-kissed landscape hand in hand.
Against this breathtaking backdrop, the couple’s affectionate glances, laughter, and stolen kisses came to life. The tranquil morning offered a sense of intimacy that is often difficult to capture amidst the hustle and bustle of a wedding day.

Casibari Rock Formation Aruba
This rock formation is are clusters of huge tonality rocks sit together in an area just north of Hooiberg. This rock formation, unique to the more typical features of the area, inexplicably rises up from the desert soil to create an unusual setting. Some of the rocks weigh several tons and feature peculiar forms. The Government of Aruba has created walking trails and steps through the rocks, allowing hikers to reach the top to obtain breathtaking views of the island. (source: Aruba Travel Guide)
