Alice and Matt’s Riviera Maya, Mexico wedding was originally planned to take place on the beach at the beautiful Iberostar Paraiso Lindo, however it rained the entire time we were there. Despite the rain Alice and Matt were an absolute joy to photograph. A smile never left their faces, and they were thrilled to be marrying each other. As plans changed Alice and Matt, along with their friends and family were a true inspiration of love overcoming everything and having a great time with each other despite whatever circumstances came. The ceremony was moved to a traditional Mexican chapel, and the reception was changed to a hilariously amazing Star Wars themed night club! The day after the wedding as it continued to rain we went out armed with umbrellas determined to get some pool and beach photos, and the Day After session turned into more of a fun Trash the Dress session.

I am pleased to say that this wedding was also featured by Travel to I Do. Travel to I Do is a great resource for couples planning a destination wedding. They feature real destination weddings, inspiration, tips, and contests. I highly recommend that you check it out!

Four years ago Emily and Barrett were married and I was there to photograph their Dallas wedding. In November Emily’s sister Catherine was getting married to Elliot in Playa Del Carmen and asked me to travel with them to photograph their beach wedding. It is such an honor for a family to consider me their “family photographer”. My wife Sarah and I were happy to go spend the week in Playa del Carmen with Catherine and Elliot and their family and friends. Unfortunately, Hurricane Ida was making her way through the Yucatan channel on the day of the wedding so we had to move the wedding off of the beach. But everyone was in great spirits and having such a good time it was no problem. They had a beautiful wedding and reception at The Royal Playa del Carmen. The day after the wedding the sun came out and we got a chance to take some photos on the beach. Thanks Catherine and Elliot for having Sarah and me along for the ride and including us as part of your family.
