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.

Destination weddings are so much fun.
#1. I get to go to the beach
#2. The beach is nice
There are many other reasons involving the beach, water, snorkeling, and all-inclusive, to name a few. The best part is that they are just laid back events with the couple’s closest family and friends in an exotic location.
Cathy and Dan were married at Secrets Maroma Beach in Riviera Maya, Mexico. They had a beautiful wedding and everyone had a great time dancing into the night. Thanks to Cathy and Dan for taking me along with you to Mexico!
