Erica and Kevin’s wedding at Stoney Ridge Villa was nothing short of a masterpiece—a perfect blend of drama, romance, and artistry. With moody colors, cinematic lighting, and luxurious silk and velvet details, their wedding told a story as bold and beautiful as their love. From the first look and private vows to the unforgettable "Baile de la Iguana," every moment was filled with emotion, energy, and a touch of cinematic magic.
Erica was searching for a photographer who could capture everyone in flattering lighting and settings, while also delivering dramatic storytelling through imagery. She wanted her wedding to feel like a work of art, with carefully crafted compositions and a moody, cinematic feel. Stoney Ridge Villa recommended us, and from our first conversation, we knew this wedding was going to be an unforgettable one.
One of the most incredible aspects of Erica and Kevin’s wedding was Erica’s creative touch—she didn’t just plan her wedding, she designed her own wedding gown and contributed to the ceremony and reception décor. Every detail was a reflection of her vision, blending dark romance with timeless elegance. Silk and velvet textures added a rich, luxurious feel to the space, while the lighting set the mood for a cinematic experience.
Before the ceremony, Erica and Kevin shared an intimate first look, a moment filled with deep emotions and anticipation. They also exchanged private vows, creating a heartfelt moment between just the two of them before stepping into their grand celebration. The setting, the lighting, and the emotions made this one of the most powerful moments of the day.
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Stoney Ridge Villa, their ceremony was elegant yet moody, intimate yet grand. The candlelit atmosphere and dramatic floral arrangements perfectly framed the couple as they exchanged vows in front of their loved ones. It was a cinematic scene straight out of a love story.
As the evening unfolded, the energy only grew. Guests were treated to a reception filled with stunning decor, a carefully curated ambiance, and of course, plenty of dancing. And then came "Baile de la Iguana"—a high-energy dance tradition that had everyone on their feet, laughing and celebrating. The mix of cultural flair, bold energy, and unfiltered joy made for some of the most dynamic and unforgettable moments of the night.
True to Erica’s vision, we created stunning, dramatic portraits that captured the essence of their wedding day. Using flattering lighting, intentional compositions, and the natural beauty of Stoney Ridge Villa, we transformed each image into a piece of cinematic storytelling.
Erica and Kevin’s wedding was not just an event—it was an experience. Every detail, every moment, and every emotion came together to create a love story filled with depth, artistry, and passion. It was an honor to capture such a beautifully curated and deeply meaningful day, and we know that their love story will continue to unfold just as dramatically and beautifully as their wedding day.
