Tierra Del Sol Aruba Wedding Reception

The northern tip of Aruba is a desert dreamscape. Massive rolling sand dunes tower along a nearly endless rock hewn coastline dotted with large cactus and aloe plants. Before reaching the nature preserve that is the Arashi and California Dunes, one of the last built structures is the gorgeous Tierra del Sol – a swanky resort ideally positioned atop a knoll with stunning ocean views in three directions. And, it was here that Sachin and Nitu hosted the final celebration of their four day Indian wedding on the Caribbean island of Aruba.

The party was a glorious western style evening reception that began with cocktails at sunset on the multi-tiered outdoor patio space at Tierra del Sol. As the sun went down the party heated up with dinner, speeches and dancing well into the early morning hours.

“Drew! We are in awe of the photos you captured!!! We are so grateful to have you be part of our wedding story. You captured our friends and family so honestly and beautifully. The photos are MAGIC and take us right back to Aruba and one of the best weeks of our lives. THANK YOU!”

– Sachin & Nitu, Indian Wedding Clients in Aruba

Tierra Del Sol is an absolute gem of a wedding reception venue. Our professional photo team spent 5 days photographing all over Aruba for Sachin and Nitu's destination Hindu wedding celebration. And I couldn't think of a more fitting venue for the final party - the terraced patio landscape surrounded by palm trees and cactus make Tierra del Sol a fabulous setting for an elegant wedding reception and party.

"South Asian and Indian weddings - especially the traditions and customs rooted around Hindu weddings - have such an incredible flare. The colors are rich. The textures and layers are dramatic. The aromas and flavors are mesmerizing. And the symbology of every act, every flower petal and decoration, and each moment are imbued with deep historical and cultural meaning. This makes our work as documentarians and journalistic style wedding photographers perfectly matched to the complexity and beauty of Indian wedding celebrations.”

"Drew felt like part of our family. He made us feel so comfortable. Everyone loves the wedding photos and all of our guests raved about his presence and warmth."

– Sarah & Greg, San Francisco Wedding Clients

“Drew works diligently to integrate into whatever scene he’s photographing in a way I’ve never seen before from any other destination wedding photographer. We were incredibly pleased to see the rapport we had felt with Drew immediately extended to our friends and family at our wedding weekend.”

– Carmen & Barrett, Austin, Texas wedding clients

"Pre-planning is a really important part to make any destination wedding photography successful. This is especially true for a 5 day (Hindu) Indian Wedding on Aruba with 400+ guests. My team and I have developed highly intentional and evolved systems that make everything about working with us stress-free, easy, and fun.”
