Tropical Beach Elopement Portraits in El Salvador

Planning a tropical beach elopement is an enchanting, and rather unique, way to say “I do.” You’ll be exchanging your vows against a stunning sunset, the sound of waves, and the soft feel of sand under your feet. This dream became a reality for an awesome couple I had the pleasure of meeting through a Facebook group for expats in El Salvador. As an elopement photographer traveling with family, I was eager to photograph on the beautiful beaches of La Libertad, El Salvador. That’s when I connected with J and H, a couple who had yet to take wedding portraits. This was their perfect opportunity.

Love Stories in El Zonte

H, a fellow US girly, found love in J, a native of El Salvador. She followed her heart to this tropical paradise for their happily ever after. In search of the ideal location for their wedding portraits, I explored the area of La Libertad. April presents a challenge as many beaches are scattered with large black pebbles. But I was determined to find a pristine stretch of black sand. Luck was on our side when I discovered a sandy bank hidden between El Sunzal and El Zonte.

Our sunset session was magical. H changed into a satin wedding dress I had brought along. J looked effortlessly stylish in tan pants and a white shirt that perfectly complemented H. Their chemistry was obvious, embodying the joy and silliness of two people deeply in love. Our photo shoot began on a washed-up tree trunk. The sky was painted in a gradient of blues and sunset hues. We explored the beach, capturing moments of laughter and love as they ran along the shore. The end of our session was highlighted by a beautiful orange sunset.
