Tropical Wedding at Las Terrazas

Posted on January 13, 2012 by Olivera Rusu

Minnesota come in the middle of the winter for a warm, tropical wedding! Kenny & Theresa were thrilled by the amazing hotel they picked and loved everything about it. Belize is spectacular and unique and is so charming! They went in trips, they went to fish, to snorkel, hang on the beach and just enjoy the nature! This is what Lenny, an vid landscape photographer, asked me to capture. Theresa was my gorgeous gorgeous bride!

I’ll stop “talking ” and just let you enjoy their first photos.

Full Moon Wedding at Las Terrazas

Posted on August 24, 2011 by Olivera Rusu

When I ask Melissa & Tim what make them choose Las Terrazas resort, their answer bring a smile on my face “we wanted to have the wedding of our dreams and our style is actually completely different… we like to camp and like simple things… Las Terrazas is one of the nicest resorts where we went and look better than in photos”. I was so happy for their choice.

Their wedding day was phenomenal. I loved every little thing. Their joy and happiness was contagious, their intimate group was busting of energy and good karma, everyone was so happy… My bride and groom laugh from everything, they had little chats all the time and their love was in the air.

Start with the ceremony where the sky was heavy, the blessed rain right after they said I DO, the amazing reception right on the beach under full moon, the delicious food and drinks and the amazing staff they have there… One word: EVERYTHING was the way that most of us dream for their wedding.

During that weekend, their parents celebrate their anniversary of 30 years of marriage and one night before their wedding, his best friend proposed right on the pier. Can you imagine to propose on full moon at the end of the pier?

Follow the photos and you’ll see their day the way I saw it.

Enjoy!

Wedding at Las Terrazas Resort (Lizelle and Jeremiah)

Posted on June 26, 2011 by Olivera Rusu

Lizelle and Jeremia, SURPRISE was the word of the day! I went at the resort few hours before the ceremony and I had a fantastic time with boys, and also with the girls. As you already know my style, I photograph the boys being boys. What a fun group! My bride was GORGEOUS! The Room where I photograph her was AMAZING! The View from their room was FANTASTIC! The girls had a lot of fun and I took my time with everything! I had time to photograph all the little detail before ceremony…

I don’t have time right now to tell you the entire story, but I’ll display first few photos from their wedding. The rest of the photos you will see them in few weeks.

I’ll facebook about this for sure so, if you’re following my page, you’ll know :)

Congratulations and Enjoy your memories!
