paulina + david {the night before}

We were honored when David called and asked us to come to Vero Beach, Florida to document his wedding to his beloved bride, Paulina.  Brett met David years ago when visiting his big brother in college.  Brett’s brother Jason (who lives in LA) was going to be in the wedding, so we were very much looking forward to a fun weekend!

David and Paulina were just adorable the night of their rehearsal….so incredibly excited that their day was nearly here.

David is the Director of Media Relations for Estefan Enterprises, owned by Gloria and Emilio Estefan.  So, it was rather fitting that they were married at “Coste d’ Este,” the Estefan’s resort on Vero Beach.  It was beautiful!

Upon arrival, each guest was given a cute little burlap bag containing 2 oranges.   Their good friend did the design for their wedding, including these adorable tags.

They had a wonderful Cuban meal in the Grand Crystal Ballroom of the resort.  Surrounded by many friends and family, they listened as people stood up and shared their love of the couple.

Then David and Paulina thanked everyone for coming to celebrate with them for the weekend.  Many people had traveled far for this special day.

David and Paulina exchanged very heart-felt words with each other, as they discussed how they had waited for this someone, and this day to arrive…..

Seeing as we spent the weekend with them, I have broken the celebration into 3 posts.  :)  Please check back tomorrow to see the beginning of their GORGEOUS day!!
