Wendy and Rob are seasoned travelers who reside in Scotland and obviously have a romantic and adventurous spririt. After all what could be more romantic than to be married on one of their trips? The couple was joined by two close friends for a wedding at the Hacienda Chichi Suarez in Merida, Yucatan which was very intimate and beautiful. I really loved the photographs that Lindsey and I were able to capture through out the day´s events in the different areas of this historic hacienda. Thank you Wendy and Rob! I hope you enjoy the photographs! Event coordination BAKU Events. All images ©2012 Elizabeth and Lindsey Medina
Getting ready, Merida Centro, Casa de Las Sirenas:













The lovely ceremony was held in the ruins of the Hacienda´s Casa de Maquinas.









The group was serenaded by mariachis in the hacienda´s wine cellar, then it was time for a candlelit dinner on the lawn of the hacienda. Amazing!

Nothing like kicking off the wedding season with a beautiful local event that takes us back to our hacienda wedding photography roots! Having known Daniela for some time and having photographed her brother Paco with his bride Zahia back in May we knew it was going to be a wonderful day spent in very good company. Hacienda Chichí Suarez dates from the 16th century, we have photographed a few events in this location and love the way different spaces have been used in a way that has made each event seem very unique. Daniela and Alejandro had their wedding at 1:00 pm, which allowed for wonderful photography opportunities. …I love love love seeing and working with natural light, there is just nothing like it!
The first one is Lindsey’s photo, what a lovely composition!
Daniela was an extremely beautiful bride!

The next one is Lindsey’s, I wish it were mine though!
The two familes together…
The reception had such colorful details! All perfectly tied toghether but very unexpected, just perfect for this afternoon wedding… a very unique twist on the hacienda setting! My regular blog readers have probably deduced, this Merida, Yucatan wedding was designed and coordinated by my friends at BAKU Events. I really can’t say enough good things about the BAKU team, it is a real treat to watch them in action as they work their magic!
We were ablet o do a few more photographs around the hacienda grounds before it was time for Alejandro and Daniela’s ‘first dance” as husband and wife.
First dance and father daughter dance…
Many more coming soon!
