Amy and Brian were great to photograph because together with a great group of family and close friends they enjoyed every minute of their wedding celebration. They were married in a very special beach wedding ceremony at the El Dorado Royale in the beautiful Riviera Maya. Amy warned me that the wedding would be an emotional one, and there were quite a few happy tears! Although the resort is fairly large, their ceremony site overlooking the ocean was very private, peaceful and natural. The reception afterwards took place in a poolside palapa and was a lot of fun! Gracias Amy and Brian for including us in your wedding celebration, best wishes to both of you for a long and happy marriage! Felicidades!
A few portraits of the bride and groom from before the rehearsal dinner, this was the night before the wedding at the El Dorado Royale.
Amy’s mom helping with the veil…Amy got ready on the Casitas side of the resort which I loved because of its casual feel.
Amy and Brian did not want to see each other prior to the ceremony, but we were able to do some bridal photography with Amy, I loved being able to create these images.
The ceremony was held at the very edge of the El Dorado Royale, the view of the Maya Rivera coast was breath taking.

For Amy and her dad…
A few photographs from the beach ceremony.
The sand ceremony, so pretty with black and white sand…
I thought this shot of the whole bridal party on the beach was a lot of fun, I had never seen black bridesmaid’s dresses before and thought that they looked great with the colorful flowers.
Amy’s flowers were very bright and tropical.
Amy and Brian made a great entrance into the reception, they were ready to PARTY!
Yummy colors…
The maracas on the tables were a huge hit with the guests.
Amy’s dad gave a funny speech…
