I am Mexico based destination wedding photographer Elizabeth Medina and I appreciate your visit! This destination wedding photography blog is my way of sharing a peek at the amazing weddings my studio teammates Lauren and Lindsey and I photograph for the most wonderful couples imaginable at locations throughout Mexico. I hope you will stop back often to this visual journal to experience a little of the magic that is a destination wedding in Mexico. For a look at our destination wedding portfolio, comments from past clients and studio information please check out the website! (please don’t miss the main site's showcase and featured weddings section with some of my all time favorite images). And one hint…the blog is categorized by location and type of weddings, so if you are interested in seeing weddings at a particular venue or getting ideas about beach weddings, hacienda weddings or trash the dress sessions please check out the archives section! If you are planning a wedding and would like information about photography for your day please don't hesitate to email, we look forward to hearing from you! Best wishes! Elizabeth
Wedding Photographs and Jungle Trash the Dress (with horses!), Annie and Marc, Tulum, Mexico
January 13, 2008
Annie was one of those brides who really love and appreciate the importance of photographs (something I can relate to!), it was so much fun to hear about all her photography ideas for the wedding day and also for the unique “trash the dress” photo shoot she had planned for the morning after the wedding. The “trash the dress” session to me is not really about the dress at all…basically it is just a relaxed opportunity to create special photographs of the bride and groom, without having to worry about all the guests, timetables and nerves of the wedding day. And if the bride and groom are adventurous like Annie and Marc, all the better!
Right before the ceremony at Dreams Tulum it started to RAIN! I couldn’t believe it since it had been nice all day… fortunately it stopped in time for the ceremony and everything was beautiful!
The wedding ceremony site at Dreams Tulum was so beautiful, I think it looks like a desert island.

A perfect destination bride…
Annie asked for pictures with flowers, since it was winter at home. I decided to try to frame them with flowers and think that I succeeded in both of these images.
The next morning early we headed out for the trash the dress session. Gorgeous!
Fairmont Mayakoba Wedding, Stacey and Charles in the Maya Rivera, Mexico
January 9, 2008
Stacey and Charles chose an outstanding location for the wedding, the MK Blue at the Fairmont Mayakoba near Playa del Carmen, Mexico. Not only does the MK Blue have a very upscale, relaxed vibe, it is surrounded by incredible scenery and was the perfect setting for this very special celebration. I loved how the colors chosen for the wedding reflected so perfectly the colors of nature. Thank you Stacey and Charles for the honor of being your wedding photographer!
The gorgeous bride before leaving for the ceremony.

Stacey travelled to the ceremony in a private gondola, such a beautiful and peaceful time before the ceremony.
I loved this photograph with the Mexican flag!
The bride arriving at MK Blue…
The beach wedding ceremony, such special moments to photograph.
I loved the non-matching group of bridesmaids, this is one of my favorite “trends”.

I loved the shoe table! What a great idea for a beach party!
Just a detail shot…
MK Blue is made of bleached wood, the look is really different for the Maya Rivera.
