I have been fortunate that so many of my clients are very hip creative professionals…as an architect and graphic designer both Mónica and Einar certainly fall in that category and it was wonderful to have been able to get to know them in the months before the wedding. Mexico has so many great haciendas, I was glad to hear that they chose to celebrate the reception at the Hacienda San Ignacio Tisip, I epecially enjoy wedding photography in such a beautiful, intimate setting. The wedding was great fun to photograph and although I don’t want to give anything away we have big plans for a VERY hip and creative post-honeymoon photo shoot and to design a very original album, so there is still more photography to look forward to! Here is a glimpse of just a few of the images from their wedding at the hacienda San Ignacio Tisip, outside of Mérida, Yucatán, México.

The flowers were amazing.

First dance….

The two little dancers were just adorable, they would watch the ¨novios¨and imitate all their dance moves.

Ever since I met Susana I know it would be a joy to photograph her wedding, first because she is a close friend of one of my favorite past couples, second because she told be right away that the photographs were very important to her, and third because she and Felipe wanted to be photographed at the beach, something that is not extremely common here in on the Gulf side of the Yucatan penninsula. This is a little look at just a few of Susana’s and Felipe’s photographs.

Desde que conoocí a Susana supe que sería un placer fotografiar su boda, primero porque es muy buena amiga de una de mis parejas favoritas, segundo porque me dijó enseguida que las fotografías eran muy importantes para ella, y tercero porque ella y Felipe pidieron hacer fotografía en la playa, algo que no es muy común en está parte de la peninsuala de Yucatán. Estos son unas cuantas fotografías captadas el día de la boda de Susana y Felipe. ¡Muchas felicidades a los dos!

A wonderful couple, beautiful hacienda location, and gorgeous moon…what could be better for a wedding photographer? And just to keep things excitng how about a sudden rain shower during the ceremony? If I ever had doubts about whether I would risk my camera equipment to get the shot I now know the answer…it never even occured to me to run for cover when the rain started to fall during the ceremony, not while I was getting such great shots! In addition to the lovely open air ambience Guille’s event coordinators Maria del Mar Montalvo and Maria del Mar Abraham of Baku made sure that there were little details and surprises everywhere, all very evocative of Yucatecan tradition. Unforgettable!

I had the opportunity to photograph a very special, intimate, sunset beach wedding in Isa Mujeres a few weeks ago at the beautiful Villa Rolandis Resort, for one of the nicest couples I have met. We also made some amazing day after photographs very early the next morning, in non wedding clothing, and they were very definitely worth waking up early for! This couple would like to keep their photographs all to themselves, but I hope this this image of rose petals in the lovely white Isla Mujeres sand will encourage anyone who is considering a destination wedding at Isla Mujeres!

When Aydee contacted me about her wedding to Justin at the Hacienda San Jose Cholul I had the date previously reserved. I was disappointed, because the Hacienda San Jose is one of my absolute favorite places and I could tell immediately that Aydee would be a great bride to work with. I was thrilled when they asked me to shoot their portrait session the day before the wedding. It has been my experience that doing wedding portraits on a day other than the wedding is just a wonderful way to get relaxed, outstanding images, since there is no rush or nervousness like on the big day. It is a bit of an effort to plan the photo session but so much fun and I think the photographs are very much worth it. Aydee and Justin…congratulations, it was wonderful to work with you both. ¡Muchas felicidades!

Tania and Luis make a beautiful couple (if anyone has actually been reading this wedding photography blog, it will be clear by now that I really enjoy the couples I photograph, maybe it is because I get to spend the happiest day of their lives with them, but they are all just amazing!). I had been looking forward to photographing this wedding, since it would be taking place at the Hacienda Temozón Sur, a very spectacular hacienda in Yucatan, Mexico where I had never previously had the opportunity to photograph a wedding. The hacienda absolutely did not disappoint, and Tania and Luis had planned a very intimate candle light reception with all kinds of Mexican surprises for their international guests, from folkloric dancing to fireworks and mariachis. ¡Muchas graciás, Tania y Luis!

Dianna and Mario make up one of the nicest couples I have met! Their wedding was a very relaxed and easy going celebration, it was fun to witness the two of them enjoying each other and their families and friends. It was also great to see such a totally international crowd mingling and enjoying each other so much. The wedding was held in Mérida’s beautiful and historic Itzimná church and the reception at the modern fiesta Americana Hotel on the Paseo de Montejo. Congratulations to both of you!

It was so much fun doing Juan Carlos and Aurora’s wedding portraits at the beach…they are one of my favorite couples! I accompanied them for a beautiful church wedding and hotel reception, they chose to do this ¨honeymoon¨ beach session the next week which was great. Congratulations to both of you, and thanks for being so great!

Fue muy divertido hacer los retratos de boda de Juan Carlos y Aurora en la playa. Son de mis parejas favoritas! Los acompañe para la boda religiosa y la recepción en el hotel Hyatt, eligieron hacer esta sesión en la playa de Uaymitun la semana siguiente. ¡Felicidades a los dos y gracías por ser tan fabulosos!

This wedding at the Iberostar Pariso in the Riviera was all about a couple in love having fun the tropics, we thoroughly enjoyed being a part of it all!
