Brandi + Antonio
Puerto Rico October 2026
My name is Ben Mercedes II, and since 2014, I have specialized in capturing wedding moments with both cinematic filmmaking and documentary-style photography. My team and I are passionate about telling love stories in a way that is both authentic and breathtaking. With experience in destination weddings, we ensure that your celebration is captured with seamless execution, artistry, and emotion—delivering timeless visuals that will let you relive your special day for a lifetime.
Your wedding at the Grand Wyndham Palmas or Grand Wyndham Rio Mar is set to be an unforgettable experience. Puerto Rico’s stunning landscapes and rich culture provide the perfect backdrop for a wedding filled with love, joy, and celebration. Our goal is to craft photography and cinematography that capture both the grand moments and the intimate emotions of your day, preserving them in a way that reflects your unique love story.
Approach & Scope of Work
To ensure the best possible coverage, my team and I will arrive in Puerto Rico 1-2 days before the wedding. This allows us to scout locations, adjust for lighting, and prepare for a smooth and seamless wedding day experience.
We will deliver the following:
Pre-Wedding Planning & Preparation
Consultation & Timeline Coordination: We will work with you to design a timeline that maximizes photography and video opportunities without feeling rushed.
Venue Scouting: Arriving early ensures we identify the best spots for portraits, wedding details, and cinematic footage.
Engagement or Pre-Wedding Session (Optional): Capture romantic portraits at a stunning Puerto Rico location before your big day.
