Steven & Shayla: A Romantic Wedding at Royalton Bávaro
March 16th, 2025, was a day filled with love, laughter, and the breathtaking beauty of the Caribbean. Steven & Shayla’s wedding at Royalton Bávaro was the perfect blend of elegance and tropical charm, and I had the absolute privilege of capturing every incredible moment.
The day began with getting ready, a part of the wedding that I always love to document because it’s filled with so many raw emotions—excitement, nervousness, and pure joy. Shayla’s bridal suite was buzzing with laughter as her bridesmaids helped her prepare. She looked stunning, glowing with happiness as she slipped into her dress. The soft ocean breeze drifted through the open windows, adding a natural elegance to the moment. Meanwhile, Steven was in his suite, adjusting his tie, sharing a few jokes with his groomsmen, and taking a deep breath before the big moment. It’s these small, intimate details that tell the full story of a wedding day.
The ceremony took place on a sunlit terrace overlooking the turquoise waters of the Caribbean. With the sound of the waves in the background and a warm tropical breeze, it was the perfect setting for Steven & Shayla to exchange their vows. There was something so magical about the way they looked at each other—completely lost in the moment, as if no one else was there. I focused on capturing every emotion—the smile on Steven’s face as Shayla walked down the aisle, the tears of happiness from their loved ones, and the sheer joy when they were finally pronounced husband and wife.
After the ceremony, we took advantage of the stunning surroundings for a private photo session. The golden sunlight reflected off the ocean, creating a dreamy glow that made every shot feel surreal. Shayla’s dress flowed effortlessly in the breeze, and Steven held her close, whispering something that made her laugh—those are the moments I love the most. We walked along the shore, capturing candid moments filled with love and happiness, with the waves gently touching their feet and the sunset beginning to paint the sky in warm hues.
Steven & Shayla’s wedding at Royalton Bávaro was the perfect example of why I love being a professional wedding photographer. Every detail, every moment, and every emotion was a piece of their love story, now frozen in time through these images.
As they begin their journey as husband and wife, I know they will always have these memories to look back on—a day filled with love, adventure, and the beauty of the Caribbean.
