The room at the Faena Hotel + Universe in which we used for the bridal suite was affectionately named the Porteño Suite. It was a level of grandeur that I had yet to ever encounter in all of my travels! When I first began the hair and makeup process I gave Kyle Hepp, my wedding photographer, the key to the room and told her to have fun inside it with her camera. Faena is one of the leading hotels in the world and it easy to see why with the following photos:
My paternal Grandmother passed away many years ago, but one of the things that she and I had in common was our love for butterflies. She left me a pair of gorgeous champagne flutes and we decided to bring them with us to Buenos Aires, so that in a way she would be there in spirit. Lucas and I would use them for our first toast as husband and wife.
I love the way that Kyle used the room to showcase my bridal accessories. To me it was the perfect backdrop.
The bathroom was so luxurious that a new word should be created to describe it. Not pictured was a gigantic antique bathtub, as well as a shower built for two.
The bedroom itself was definitely inspired by the city of Buenos Aires, as it oozed a unique sexiness that the city is so famed for. While the decor felt as though it came from the Belle Époque-era, it definitely had a modern touch to it as well.
And if you had any doubt whatsoever that Kyle is not the best in her profession, let me prove it to you with the next two photos. These have to be the world’s greatest dress shots (they were taken in the lobby of the hotel)!
Then the moment finally arrived — after the longest year of my life — to finally put my dress on. Which is your favorite photo?
i love your dress!!! and the pictures are awesome!!!
I’m quite smitten with it as well! I want to die it red, so that I can wear it again. And yeah Kyle is pretty amazing, right???
Gorgeous. I love the photos. Thanks for sharing. LOVE!
Awww glad you enjoy the photos!!! LOVE!
The first picture of the champagne flutes made me tear up. No lie. Those are beautiful.
It makes me tear up too! I would have loved for my Grandmother to have been there!!!
So beautiful, love your dress girl. Hey what are some fo hte tips you can share with me of bring dress onto the plane? haha
Sarah
Thank you!!! I’m so in love with it too! I would call the airline ahead of time and ask them about their policy. Thankfully, I was flying 1st class to BsAs, so they took good care of me, though I’m not sure they would have done so if I had sat in coach. You will definitely get a lot of stares when you walk through the airport!
amazing photos! great job to Kyle.. cannot WAIT to see the next set of photos!!!
She’s amazing right? I can’t wait to share the next set!!!
The one that shows the detail on your dress.. BEAUTIFUL!
Thank you so much!
I love them all! Your accessories were so gorgeous…when do you get to wear your dress again??
Haha I think that’s a very diplomatic answer, but I totally agree! How do you choose just 1 shot? I REALLY want to dye it red, but it would cost thousands of dollars since there are so many different materials. So, for now it just hangs in my closet…
I have to say the photos taken by Kyle are amazing. It looks like its been taken by a professional anyway. It could have come out straight from a fashion magazine! the wedding dress shot is amazing too as well as the ring and necklace shot! Enjoyed reading your post
Thanks so much for your kind words regarding my photos! Kyle’s work truly belongs on the pages of a glossy magazine, I agree!!! 🙂
You definitely made the right decision in picking Kyle. She’s such a natural talent.
And I absolutely adore all the accessories you used for your wedding. Seriously. Too perfect.
I love those champagne glasses. <3 So beautiful.
Isn’t Kyle the best!?! Ahhhhh I’m SO happy she was there as my photographer AND friend! Thanks for your beautiful words of love!!! <3
such beautiful pictures! And btw. I WANT your glasses for champagne… they’re adorable!
I love them sooo much! I wish I had a large set of them, then I wouldn’t keep them locked away in fear that one might break!!!
Oh, wow! Kyle is just amazing. I love the colors she played with with the Champagne flutes and your clutch. And that entryway is breathtaking — I can’t believe I was there with you!
I’m SO honored that you flew from LV to BA for me!!! You looked absolutely gorgeous that night. Thanks for your sweet words my darling!
Something about the shot of the champagne flutes against the blue sky really does it for me. But everything else is luxe, I love them all!
Yeah, that shot is perfection! Gosh, I’m sooo happy that you and Kyle came into my life!!! TQM
I like the photo of the Manolos! I’m a shoe girl 🙂
She took a lot of cool shots of the Manolos! I’m a shoe chica too!!!
All the pictures are so gorgeous, it all looks like a dream!
Merci darling!!!
Gorgeous pics and that dress was amazing Andi! 🙂
Thank you so so so much!!!
I really can’t decide!
Haha that’s a good problem! 🙂
I love that dress and how Good u looked in it! Are u keeping it? I left mine in colombia. I told my mom to give it to someone that needs one there.
I have it with me and I had it dry cleaned. I want to dye it red and wear it to some big event, but it would be a HUGE investment. I might just sell it on Ebay? That is beautiful what you did with yours!
Insanely gorgeous pics!
Kyle is the best!!!
CONGRATS!!!
THANKS!!!
What a suite wow!
Isn’t is divine?
The butterflies on the cups are so cute!
I love them too! 🙂
