[ Real Wedding ] LAURA+RAFAEL — Wedding Photographer in Bucaramanga (Bogota), Colombia

You may have already seen the pre-wedding photos of Laura and Rafael in Cartagena. Here are now the photos of D-Day in Bucaramanga. Actually, a few days before the wedding in Colombia there is a tradition called the “Serenata”. It’s a pre-wedding surprise party organized by the groom who must ‘serenade’ his bride with a personal song. The party involves lot of singing (Mariachis!!), dancing, and drinking the Aguardiente, a traditional Colombian liquor.

As you can imagine, the wedding itself is another opportunity for dancing (vallanato et reggaeton), eating, drinking, and celebrating life. Colombians have the reputation to be among the happiest people in the world and there is no doubt about it. Crazy party ’til the end of the night!!!

Congratulations to Laura and Rafael!! Somehow, I’ve got the feeling I’ll see you again sometime soon…
