Discover Aruba's Rustic Beauty:
Sachin and Nitu's Adventure Wedding Story Begins

I first met Nitu in San Francisco, California where I live. I was photographing a corporate lifestyle project for Dropbox and Nitu was on the branding and marketing team. We had a great time creating together and Nitu and her team loved the photos. Shortly after that photo project, Nitu and Sachin asked me to photograph their 5-day Indian destination wedding in Aruba. This was an easy yes ; )

On our first day on the island, my team and I embarked on a multiple hour journey across Aruba location scouting for the perfect settings for our adventure session. Despite its modest size, measuring just 21 miles in length and 6 miles in width, Aruba offers a diverse landscape waiting to be explored. Much of the island remains wild, preserved as national parks and nature reserves. As we left the well-traveled highways behind, we quickly realized the importance of having a high-clearance, all-wheel-drive vehicle, for Aruba’s terrain can be rugged. Nestled in a rain shadow, this Caribbean jewel has a captivating desert climate with rolling hills, other worldly rock formations, towering cacti, and even majestic sand dunes. In essence, it’s a destination wedding photographer’s dreamscape.

We found some incredible photo spots and planned out two separate adventure wedding photo sessions: the first at sunset and the second at sunrise the following morning.
