The best vibes are the summer vibes for all brides...


As we are entering the best season of the year: SUMMER (in my opinion), I felt the need to share the story of this amazing couple I had the honor to document their union at the amazing location of Malcom Gross Rose Garden in Allentown, PA.

Meet Tamaira and Ari


This gorgeous couple reached out to me over my instagram account @nicolleapontephotography, back in March of 2023. During our conversation, we clicked instantly, learning about our Hispanic background and what she was looking for. Also getting to know about their love story, how they met, and how long distance means nothing when true love is meant to be. As a Latina Wedding Photographer, it's so special to meet new families with Hispanic backgrounds and learn how we share so many things in common, besides speaking Spanish.


Immediately I knew we were a great match! We coordinated their engagement session and their small gathering for their wedding day. Her vision was a elegant and chic style with some city vibes and touch of nature with the Rose Garden landscapes.


They were joined at their ceremony with closest family members and those who were far in distance, were able to watch their ceremony over live streaming. The bride's mother was their officiant and I witnessed how much love these two families have for this couple.

I was amazed by the amazing touches of elegance this small wedding garden wedding ceremony had in the middle of a summer day. Stunning floral arrangements by Marly, Floral Farmer & Florist @fenimore_rutland enhancing beautiful shades of pink for their ceremony arch, beautiful vibrant colorful tones on the bride's bouquet and the amazing gold and crystal decor, giving the elegance touch, this summer wedding needed.


There is not doubt the Malcom W. Gross Rose Garden in Allentown, PA; is a gorgeous location for a wedding day. All the surrounding areas are just fabulous to capture amazing photographs and creating that romantic ambiance I love for my couples.

After the ceremony we took some amazing photos at the Malcom Gross Rose Garden property, taking advantage of the amazing sunny day we were having. When you have love and it's in full bloom there is not much you have to ask for to get stunning memories from your wedding day. Followed by this we headed out for some city vibe photos and popping some champagne!! This was definitely super fun and exciting. Obviously, this lovely couple received so many compliments on how beautiful they looked!!

Dinner Celebration


As part of their celebration of their wedding day, they had a intimate and cozy dinner with friends and family. Again, the touch of elegance was all over their venue. I loved every detail of it and how relaxed and chic this environment was. Their catering services from Baby's WAS DELICIOUS!!!! Wedding cake made by The Crumbs Cake Studio gave the perfect elegant touch matching their wedding colors and personality.

In Conclusion...


This was an elegant, beautiful, and intimate summer wedding day surrounded by those who are important in their lives. I felt extremely humbled and honored with feeling like part of the family and still document meaningful memories for Tamaira and Ari. It brings pure joy for me as a Latina Wedding Photographer to connect and create long lasting relationship with couples. Helping them feel with relief they can trust me and they can just focus on them having fun and sharing their love. After all... they will remember the experience and feelings every time they look at their wedding photos.
