While the decision to travel so far for a wedding celebration might be a big one the weddings themselves are so special and enjoyable I would be willing to bet that everyone who is fortunate enough to travel to Mexico to attend a destination wedding is glad they made the trip! Jenn and Scott’s group of family and friends traveled all the way from Canada for this February wedding in the Mayan Riviera a the Gran Palladium White Sands Resort. It seemed to be such a sunny group, not only totally happy and excited for the couple but content to kick back and enjoy. Lindsey and I could not help but have a wonderful time capturing a bit of the magic not only  the wedding day with it s smiles and tears but also early the next morning when we joined Jenn and Scott for a sunrise trash the dress session.

A couple of bridal portraits (you know I love it when there is time for these!) and Jenn’s proud mom seeing her daughter as a bride…

We were able to photograph Jenn on the grounds of the resort prior to the ceremony…

Time to head for the ceremony in the ocean side gazebo…

Jenn’s ring did not want to go on but Scott gave it his best try! Photos by both Lindsey and Elizabeth…

Next shot is Lindsey’s….

Taking wedding crashing to a whole new level…

Photographs on the beach as the sun set and then it was off to enjoy the reception….

The next morning we were up bright and early for the day after session… thank you Jenn and Scott for being such total great sports! We loved photographing your wedding!

It is great to be back from a little blog haitus just in time to share some pure amazingness! Missy and Brian were married in February at the beautiful Le Blanc Spa Resort in Cancun. As impossible as it is to not love the Mayan Riviera (not to mention Tulum, Puerto Vallarta, Costa Careyes and of course Cabo where we will be shooting soon!) there is just something totally unique about Cancun! Missy and Brian’s wedding day was gorgeous, Le Blanc was a very intimate and elegant setting for the wedding with the most incredible white sand and turquoise water imaginable This such a fun and laid back group of friends and family, Lindsey and I truly enjoyed everything about the day!

First some bride and groom photos around the grounds of the resort prior to the ceremony, so glad we were able to have this time with the bride and groom because after the ceremony they were done with the photos and able to spend all their time with their guests!

Next shot is Lindsey’s…

We were joined by the family members and wedding party friends for some very relaxed portraits on the beach, I really loved these!

The ceremony site at Le Blanc overlooks the water and is very intimate and private.

Married!

The reception was held on a rooftop deck overlooking the laguna. Again very private and scenic. I would even say the location would be tranquil and peaceful but that would have to be when this very high energy group is not in the house! Pretty purple reception decor…

Missy’s brother and his fiancee serenaded the bride and groom, such a lovely gift.

The toasts… first the FOB…

A few words for the groom…

And the bride…

Thank you Missy and Brian, Lindsey and I miss you all and wish you the very best!
