Colombia destination wedding | Vacation images | Tampa wedding photographer

Meant to write about our trip a long time ago, but we have been so busy that we are just now getting around to it! Back in June we photographed a very beautiful destination wedding in Bogota, Colombia. Being that we had been incredibly busy during the first half of the year, we decided that since we were traveling that far, that we would extend our stay and make a mini vacation out of the trip. Colombia is an incredibly beautiful country with many regions that exhibit their own unique climate and terrain characteristics. To the north is Cartagena which is located on the Caribbean. To the west, Colombia has a long coastline on the Pacific Ocean. Colombia also has deserts, jungles, snow covered volcanos, and a coffee growing region that makes some of the best tasting coffee in the world.

For this trip, we stayed in Bogota which is the capital. It is located at 8600 feet above sea level. It is cool in the mornings and evenings, but has very comfortable day time temperatures. We absolutely loved our time in Bogota and visited many great museums. One of our favorite museums was the Botero Museum which housed many of his masterpiece paintings and sculptures. One of our favorite parts of the city was Monserrate, which is located on top of a mountainside overlooking all of Bogota. You reach it by riding a cable car or train to reach the top. From there you can see the entire city and surrounding countryside and mountain region. The views are absolutely AMAZING!! Another “must see” is the old city center and the area surrounding the presidential palace. The architecture is spectacular, which many of the houses dating back to pre-colonial times. You can just imagine life must have been like back in the 1600’s and 1700’s. As experienced Tampa wedding photographers, we are used to photographing many destination weddings. Flying to Colombia to photograph one was an incredible experience. We definitely look forward to getting to photograph many more destination weddings there or anywhere else in the world. We love photography and traveling the world. Destination weddings allow us to combine our two passions, so if you or anyone you know is looking for a wedding photographer and is getting married in another country or exotic location, please make sure to contact us!!

Video – Bogota destination wedding – Bogota wedding photographer

Here is the video of all of our favorite images from the beautiful wedding of Juan David and Marcela. The wedding took place in Bogota, Colombia. We loved all of the gorgeous fresh flowers which decorated the entire venue. The chapel, the reception hall and pathways were all decorated in fresh flowers and it was magical. We love these type of destination weddings and can’t wait until we get another opportunity to photograph another amazing wedding like this one.

Destination wedding – Bogota, Colombia – Bogota wedding photographer

This is the second series of images from the destination wedding we photographed in Bogota, Colombia. It was such a beautiful wedding. Everything took place just 30 minutes outside of Bogota, at the Hacienda Pozo Chico. The hacienda had a backdrop of lovely fields and mountains off in the distance, which made for some stunning images. Marcela got prepared in a beautiful bedroom that had a balcony that overlooked the entire Hacienda. We took some great images of her getting ready and once she was fully dressed, Juan David came upstairs and greeted his beautiful fiance with a big kiss and a very loving embrace. He then proceeded to escort Marcela downstairs and across the grounds to the beautiful chapel where they would exchange their vows.

The ceremony itself was unlike anything else we have seen before. It was a beautiful mix of western and eastern influenced wedding styles. The ceremony took place inside a gorgeous round chapel that was staggered downward in various levels. Each seating level was decorated with candles and beautiful fresh flowers throughout. Juan David and Marcela were truly surrounded by all of their friends and family. They exchanged personalized vows and were treated to some romantic music by the three piece ensemble that was set up just behind them.

After the ceremony, everyone headed back to the main Hacienda where dinner would be served by white gloved servers and in choreographed precision. As each course was brought out, the waiters would encircle the table and wait for the head waiter/waitress to lower their right hand to signal that all the plates should be set on the table in unison. It was like watching synchronized dancers moving in and out of tables. Implecable service and attention to detail. After the dinner service, the DJ kicked off the music and everyone danced until the early morning! As professional Tampa wedding photographers, we love it when we get the opportunity to travel outside of Florida and photograph in exotic locations like this one. We want to thank Juan David and Marcela for allowing us the opportunity to capture these beautiful images of their special wedding day. We had a fantastic time and really appreciated your hospitality.

International destination wedding – Bogota wedding photographer

The following are some of our favorite images from the pre-wedding and preparations for the recent destination wedding we photographed in Bogota, Colombia. We flew down early on Saturday and got a good nights sleep before arriving on Sunday to the ceremony/reception site. Juan David and Marcela arranged to have their ceremony and reception at the beautiful Hacienda Pozo Chico which is located about 30 minutes outside of Bogota. What an amazing location!!! The views of the surrounding mountains and countryside were stunning. The grounds were beautifully decorated with many gorgeous flowers and the entire place had a very sophisticated charm! As professional Tampa wedding photographers, we are used to photographing some of the best locations in Central Florida but it is always a treat to photograph at new and exciting international locations too!

As you will see, Marcela was such a beautiful bride and such a pleasure to work with. As an artist herself, she allowed us full freedom to photograph her wedding in our own style. We were given full access to the grounds and chapel. We are extremely grateful to Juan David and Marcela for allowing us to share in their special day and giving us the opportunity to capture the special moments of their beautiful wedding day for them to treasure for a lifetime. The entire wedding was incredibly beautiful and we can’t wait to post more pictures of the ceremony and reception soon.
