The beautiful Ivana and Jorge got married last weekend in the Sporting Club of Vina del Mar. I’ve been doling out their preview photos slowly but surely so you can savor them :) But now the big reveal has arrived, here’s the full blog post at last!

We had such a good time at their wedding. During the getting ready portion of the day I started to realize what a big, close knit family both Ivana and Jorge has. People were constantly coming in and out of the hotel room, helping out, fixing last minute details, asking Ivana questions. It was crazy! The entire event really was a family affair. Everybody pitched in — from the vintage car to helping choose the photographer, Ivana’s family was a part of it all. Her brother, Diego, really went above and beyond and basically coordinated the entire day. He did an INCREDIBLE job.

My favorite moment was when Ivana and Jorge did their toasts. Up until that moment they had both been pretty calm — happy but relaxed with all the chaos around them. But when they went to give a short speech to their guests they both got incredibly emotional, thanking their families for all the support and love.

It was a wonderful day and we are so thankful we got to be a part of it!

BAM! Let’s start right off with one of my favorite pics of the day. Ivana looks stunning!

I really like this shot too. So simple, but Ivana is radiant…

FAVORITE. I loooove this photo!

Fun story behind this photo. Ivana’s family is Italian, so they all went out and danced this crazy Italian Tarantella (sp?) dance…which then turned into the cueca…which then turned into a mosh pit. I’ve never seen a cueca dancing mosh pit before but I kid you not, this was CRAZY! It was So. Much. Fun. Mad props to the DJ who was absolutely awesome and kept the dance floor packed all night long!

It was a ridiculous party. We loved every minute of it!

  11. Kyle, I love ALL these, but especially #8 and #13. That silhouette is amazing! And your first shot basically makes me want to give up photography – so, so good.
