Part Two of Jessica and Mark´s Mexico destination wedding at the Rosewood Mayakoba.  This beautiful Playa del Carmen destination wedding was featured today on Style Me Pretty! Our last post featured photographs of the getting ready and ceremony parts of the day at the Rosewood Mayakoba. Here are bride and groom portraits and photos of the intimate, relaxed beach reception.

One of my favorite aspects of destination wedding photography is creatively highlighting the couple´s natural and unique dynamic while at the same time showcasing the setting under the changing lighting conditions the moment provides. The exciting (and challenging!) part is that unlike editorial or commercial photography this all happens in what can feel like a speeded up version of real time, wedding moments are so precious they often seem to move much more quickly than any others.  Here are a few bride and groom photographs of the very happy Jessica and Mark overlooking the waterway of the Rosewood Mayakoba.

Bride and groom rejoined the guests at the beach to celebrate. The rustic vintage decor was just lovely… I am such a fan of the string lights, and the very personal table of picture frames was a showstopper!

If you´ve read part one you know that Jessica is a silhouette artist, here are Señor and señora  silouttes on the couple´s reception chairs.

Sahar and Matt’s wedding was held on the beach at one of my favorite Mayan Riviera beach wedding locations, Le Reve in Playa del Carmen. This beautiful  beach location seemed just perfect for this couple, relaxed but also elegant.  I knew the second I met Sahar that she was high energy all the way! There was seriously never a dull second, the day flew by. Thank you Sahar and Matt, for being so fantastic! All photographs by Elizabeth and Lindsey Medina.

I loved Lindsey’s next shot!

The girls look fabulous!

Following the beach ceremony and cocktails Matt and Sahar had a Persion ceremony. Somehow I ended up photographing while perched in a tree…love the photos though!

The Persian ceremony started off with a bit of dancing, the next photo is Lindsey’s.

Peter and Francesca were married on the beach at the Hotel Esencia, a very lovely villa style boutique hotel in the Mayan Riviera. The wedding day was one of the very windiest days I can remember experiencing with the exception of actual hurricanes, just crazy windy, but it did not seem to slow anyone down a bit! One of the best things that I have noticed about destination weddings is that the cool people are the ones who are sure to attend. This crowd absolutely proved that theory true, it was a great party!

Esencias’s wedding coordinator Damarys Diaz was joined by Mayan Riviera wedding planner Yazmin de la Mora in making this beautiful day a reality. A few photos of the beautiful beach wedding details.

The cocktail hour, and dinner reception were held poolside overlooking the ocean.
