What to Wear for a Santa Marta and Tayrona Elopement
Jungle heat and humidity, a hike or boat to the beach, and the Caribbean sun. What photographs well where the rainforest meets the sea, with the expedition built in.
You plan a heavy structured gown for the photographs of a lifetime.
Then you remember the beach is reached by a hot jungle hike or a boat through the surf.
Dress for a jungle-and-sea expedition, and the light, practical choice is the most beautiful one against the wild coast.

The jungle heat and humidity and the hike to the beach reward lightweight, breathable, flowing fabric that dries fast and moves, and footwear you can carry or hike in. A relaxed, unstructured silhouette survives the trek and reads as effortless against the wild setting, where a heavy gown would fight every step.
Light and practical for the jungle

Colour against jungle and sea
Against the golden boulder beaches, the palms, and the turquoise Caribbean, crisp ivory and soft earth tones read beautifully, and flowing fabric catches the sea breeze. Simple and light lets the dramatic meeting of jungle and sea be the star of the frame.
Test the outfit for the heat and the hike first, and let me plan the session around the light and the early hours. Because I film as well as shoot, fabric that moves in the sea breeze earns its place twice. Twelve years and 240+ couples in, the couples who dressed for the expedition enjoyed every step of it.
