Micro Wedding at Dorado Beach,

a Ritz-Carlton Reserve | Laura & Jared

by Angel Lopez - August 20, 2025


On August 8, 2025, Laura & Jared celebrated their love in an intimate micro wedding by the ocean at one of Puerto Rico’s most luxurious venues: Dorado Beach, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve. A radiant, sunny day on the Island of Enchantment set the perfect backdrop for a heartfelt “I do” filled with emotions and unspoken promises.


As a wedding photographer, I love beginning the day by capturing the little details that make each story unique. While Laura got ready, the room was filled with both serenity and excitement. Her stunning dress, carefully displayed and waiting for its moment, set the tone for what was about to unfold. Laura looked absolutely breathtaking, like a true queen, and her portraits reflected elegance, joy, and pure anticipation.


Meanwhile, Jared was already ready in his suite, where the warm light streaming from the balcony created the perfect atmosphere for his portraits — natural, genuine, and full of emotion.


The ceremony itself was nothing short of magical. With the ocean as their witness and the sun shining brightly, Laura & Jared exchanged their vows in front of their closest loved ones. It was a moment filled with love, joy, and tears of happiness as they promised forever to each other.


After the ceremony, we took family portraits and then explored the stunning grounds of Dorado Beach. From tropical gardens and elegant architecture to the iconic tree that every couple dreams of photographing, every corner offered the perfect setting to capture their love story.


Being part of Laura & Jared’s day was an absolute honor. Every wedding reminds me why I love what I do — turning real love stories into timeless memories.


If you’re dreaming of your wedding in Puerto Rico — whether it’s an intimate seaside ceremony or a grand celebration — I would be honored to capture your day with the same passion and dedication I bring to every couple I work with.
