Krupa + Shilpan’s destination wedding in California

Images that you will love in years to come

/

For our bride Sayeedah, when it came to planning her wedding, she visited a Bridal Expo in Florida, in which she meant to meet wedding vendors in person, and finding if she had good chemistry with them. We happened to be in this expo, and not only she chose us right away, but we also chose her right there and then. She told us how photography was her number one priority at her wedding, and she wanted images that she would love for years to come. So then we knew, it was a match made in Florida! :)

Many times our planning consultation heavily focuses on what locations we are going to photograph you and your bridal party, but this wedding in beautiful Florida proved to us that not only the weather can take an unexpected spin on us, caring less of what we had planned. For us, it meant it was time to improvise when Sunny Florida had us endure a heavy rain during her wedding.

We quickly realized that when two people are this deeply in love, we don’t need to go too far to find a beautiful space to photograph the precious moments of your wedding feels. We stepped into her Reception Dream wedding venue and we didn’t need to go any further. In fact, the rain made it for a beautiful backdrop at night with the city lights in the background.

You can’t not notice the way this groom sees his bride all day long, but more so during her first glance at his stunning bride walking down the isle… people clapped, and smiled so hard during this moment. It was so cute! I mean, his eyes say it all!

A perfect place to start is your own ceremony and reception space.

We left Florida with great hopes to come back for more, and ever so grateful to have met such a wonderful couple with an even greater family!

We also can’t help it but to brag about the wonderful vendors we came across. Not only we feel we have some new friends, but also great connections to recommend to our new brides from that area. All in all we had a wonderful experience, and we are so blessed to have been there celebrating with Sayedaah and Ray.

We have pictures to share for years… We have so many that we decided to split this post into two blog posts…

Thanks for your comments on these images, your words feed our creative souls!

Xoxo, Jon and Vicky!

Let's begin with their seriously romantic Proposal...

About this film: At the start, we have been friends with Sebastian and Vasty for a while and we were talking with Sebastian about how he wanted to propose to Vasty. He expressed that he wanted to make it something to honor her and also to incorporate the family in it as well. He also told us to keep this a secret, which was probably the hardest part of the planning and day of the proposal. On the day of the proposal, Sebastian and Vasty as well as her entire family (and us) went to Atitlán Lake in Guatemala to spend a day at the small shops and to have a little adventure. Throughout that time we did some candid and posed shots, playing it off that we were just trying to get some fun images of them. So we spent the entire day there at Atitlan, but she had her suspicions about whether or not he might propose. It was just before sunset, that we visited the hotel Laguna Lodge Eco-Resort and we rolled in just as the sun started to turn the whole resort golden. As Vasty and Sebastian sat down at the restaurant, the sun started to set. It was at that moment that Sebastian asked Vasty to come upstairs to see the sunset from a better place, little did she know that he had an entire team setup rose pedals, candles and photos of the two of them. So as she walked up the stairs to the third floor and saw the roses on the deck, she knew he was going to propose, but it was a total surprise! Vasty said that day was magical, and perfect day with perfect weather. One funny thing that happened though, was there’s a traditional clothing piece called “güipil”, and while we were all shopping, she bought one just before the proposal happened, and she was wearing it in that moment! It wasn't planned, but sometimes the unplanned details can make everything perfect.

Sebastian and Vasty have a heart for youth ministries and serve at their church in Vida Real, Guatemala. While Vasty leads worship on stage week by week, Sebastian runs the show behind the scenes. They dated for several years, and had a year long engagement. At first, it seemed as if the day would never come, time was going by so slow, but all of a sudden, life picked up and on a blink of an eye, the day was here!
