First look and private vows: Intimate destination wedding moments

The funniest part was our private vows - we both thought we could handle not crying and my husband John just lost it. We loved doing the private vows on the balcony. It allowed us to have something to ourselves that was very private and emotional.

The balcony at Villa la Joya has witnessed so much love, and so many emotions, it’s the ideal place for a “first look”. Sher and John chose to have some intimate time alone before the wedding ceremony to share their private vows. There were some tears and laughs and the photos are a secret peek at true love.

Our wedding theme was classy coastal with earthy whimsical florals. Clean lines, simple but a classy look.

Sher and John brought their wedding vision to life in the gardens of Villa la Joya with a warm, welcoming and classy vibe. Everything about this day flowed, Sher’s natural beauty and the infectious smile of John and the most adorable little flower girl.

The ceremony featured a stunning altar of leafy florals and guests were seated in comfortable wooden chairs. The cocktail hour with the personalized bar, live saxophone music and cold refreshments kicked off the party and celebration in style.
