In the Aburrá Valley in the Andes Mountains, lies the vibrant city of Medellín, Colombia. Known for its pleasant climate, innovative urban development, rich cultural scene, and the warm hospitality of its residents, Medellín shows us her colors, and more importantly her kindness. Against this backdrop of spectacular beauty Sarah and James shared not only their love for one another with their closest family and friends, but their deep love for Colombia as well.
The Location
This Colombia wedding, in Sarah’s hometown of Medellín is a colorful representation of Sarah and James’ modern personal style as well. Their wedding celebration fully embodied all that Medellín stands for- a city of revival and rebirth full of humanity and energetic vibrancy.
The Day
The day started at Sarah’s uncle’s home with getting ready moments in the hills overlooking the town. From there, we headed to church for a formal ceremony in church. Sarah wore a fitted flare gown with puff sleeves and carried a loose organic bouquet in bursting color. Her maids worse soft pastels in varying patterns and fully embraced their role as the backdrop to Sarah’s beauty. James in his well fitted tuxedo, with his constant positive energy, illuminated every moment along side his devotion to Sarah.
The Night
The couple was whisked away after the ceremony in a sleek red convertible and the party went into the morning hours of the night. Hora Loca was at midnight and kept the guests on the dance floor all the way to last call.
This Colombia wedding reminds us that love is to be celebrated big, beautiful, and whole. It reminds us to stay connected to our roots, share our hearts with the world, and go all in on love.
