Maricarmen & Nicholas

antigua guatemala, Guatemala

Maricarmen and Nicholas celebrated their wedding in Antigua Guatemala, on a warm, sunny day full of love. It was my first wedding of 2026, and I couldn’t have asked for a better way to start the year.

Their story didn’t begin as a love story. It began as a friendship. One day she invited him to lunch with her family. He turned to look at her, and in that moment he just knew: she’s the one.

Nothing was forced. Everything flowed. They kept waiting for an obstacle, a “no,” and it never came. That was true even with an ocean of distance between them. Because of his career as a professional soccer player, he lives in the States, so much of their relationship was long distance. Still, they never stopped choosing each other.

Every picture I took that day was a piece of their journey. There was love in every corner, in their families, their friends, and every look they shared. The perfect mix of editorial and documentary photography. Some love stories don’t need to be forced. They simply flow.
