Cartagena is both a hot bed for Weddings and a hidden gem. If your here is because you know or want to find out more information on this magical place. A Cartagena Wedding is indescribable, lets just say its beyond beautiful. Whether its the colors, the architecture, or the culture, theres something for everyone. Not to mention the food thats delicious and flavorful and people that make you feel welcomed. An engagement session in Cartagena for a photographer is like a kid going to a candy store for the first time. The city is filled with colorful walls, doors, and infinite possibilities at litereally any street inside the walled city of Cartagena.
Cartagena was the backdrop for Eric and Carolina to have thier engagement session. They wanted a very casual but fun experience where they could incorporate their newspaper design into the session. They wanted to have chill moments of them interacting throughout the city and dropping newspapers within the city and spreading the news of their special day. The idea was to find locations with backgrounds that played well with their outfit colors. The best thing about this colorful city is the unlimited amount of options at your disposal.
With all the colors and amazing walls and flowers throughout the city, its hard not to find perfect locations to mix colors that play well with the walls. I recommend simple solid colors so that you can pop from the background. The weather throughout the year is hot, like all year round summer, so think shorts, flowy dresses, and use your accessories to help accentuate your outfits. Something like a stylish hat or sunglasses add that extra touch to any outfit.
Some of the best locations to for your session are right around the block and in almost any corner in between the streets of the city. Within the walled city Cartagena is full of colors and beautiful backdrops that make a session look so unique and full of vibrancy.
Cartagena is one of my favorite destinations to visit and find new places to explore. One of my favorite things to in Cartagena is to wake up super early before sunrise and explore the city when all the tourist are sleeping and only the early store owners are starting their day. Its so beautiful to see the city in a serene way. Its really where I find inspiration and think about how a couple would look perfectly in which location. If having a Cartagena Wedding and an engagement session is something that peaks your interest then lets connect and set something up together to explore the city and get lost in its beauty together.
