A Trip to Remember: Celebrating Love and Milestones in Medellín, Colombia | Jardín Botánico de Medellín Wedding
I had the privilege of capturing an intimate wedding in the vibrant city of Medellín, Colombia, for a couple who requested privacy. The ceremony at Jardín Botánico de Medellín and the reception on the rooftop of Selvario 36 Hotel were both breathtakingly beautiful and unforgettable. While the couple’s names remain anonymous, the energy, love, and memories of this celebration deserve to be shared.
A Week of Festivities in Medellín
From the moment we arrived in Medellín, I knew this destination wedding would be extraordinary. The city’s lush mountains, colorful streets, and rich culture set the stage for a week-long celebration, and my second shooter and I immersed ourselves in documenting every moment. Staying at a cozy hotel near the heart of the city, we joined the bridal party as they explored Medellín, indulging in traditional Colombian cuisine and discovering the vibrant art in Comuna 13.
Capturing Love at Jardín Botánico de Medellín
The wedding day finally arrived, and the ceremony took place at Jardín Botánico de Medellín, one of the most romantic wedding venues in Medellín. Surrounded by Medellín’s lush flora, the couple exchanged heartfelt vows in front of their closest friends and family. The garden’s serene atmosphere, paired with panoramic city views, made this venue perfect for capturing candid moments that reflected the couple’s love.
A Rooftop Reception at Selvario 36 Hotel
After the ceremony, the celebration continued at Selvario 36 Hotel, a chic rooftop venue offering stunning views of the Medellín skyline. The ambiance was filled with traditional music, dancing, and the joy of two families coming together. This private reception allowed us to capture the essence of their love without distraction, focusing entirely on the heartfelt moments shared between them and their loved ones.
A Milestone for JCP Films
This trip was particularly special as it marked the two-year anniversary of JCP Films. In the midst of wedding festivities, I took a moment with my second shooter to celebrate this milestone. We enjoyed a beautiful dinner and a small, heartfelt celebration with a “2” candle, a reminder of the journey that brought me to this incredible place and the joy of doing what I love.
