Hola! I have been wanting to share Lucia and Paul’s Merida wedding for a few weeks now! After so many hours spend lovingly shooting and editing hundreds of photos from a wedding somehow the hard part is to have to choose a reasonable number to include on the blog! Paul and Lucia’s wedding traveled a great distance to be married in a very special location, La Hacienda San Jose Cholul, located oustside of the village of  Tixcocob, near Merida, Yucatan. I really hope that the photographs will give a feel for the ambiance of this special Mexico wedding location and little look at some of the magic that happened on this very happy couple’s wedding day. Muchas gracias Lucia y Paul por compartir su dia, esperamos verlos de nuevo en Merida! All images (c) 2012 Lindsey and Elizabeth Medina.

A big shout out to our friends at Floreria Magnolia for the beautiful white floral decor.

Three flower girls make their entrance with one very well behaved canine ring bearer!

Ah, the power of deadlines! As busy as editing the final (amazing each and every one!) weddings of 2012 has kept things I just had to drop everything and blog one more from the November stash before 2013 arrives! 2012 was such a year for lovely weddings and happy, happy couples. Elaine and Jerry totally captured our hearts, Lindsey and I loved being able to tell the story of their destination wedding at Azul Sensatori through photographs. Here is a glimpse of the day’s festivities. Warm New Year’s wishes to all!

Is it just me or is everyone talking about our amazing couples? Here at Elizabeth Medina Photography we are more than happy to spread the word that Matt and Monica’s beautiful destination wedding at the Mayan Riviera’s Azul Sensatori Resort was chosen to be featured in the premier edition of Modern Jewish Wedding’s eZine!

I loved reading the article about Matt and Monica’s story, these two form an uber creative and dynamic duo…not only did they put heart and soul into their Mexico wedding but are now taking their wedding creativity to the next level with Bee and Leaf Designs.

Just click on the link to read the full magazine. MJW definitely saved the best for last,  for the story and photographs on Matt and Monica’s bright and beautiful Mexico wedding expand and flip to page 56. All photographs ©2011 Lauren and Elizabeth Medina.

One thing that makes photographing local weddings extra special is seeing so many friendly familiar faces! In the case of Elsa Gabriela and José´s wedding in Cholul, Yucatan it was especially true because both the bride and groom have sisters and brothers-in-law who we feel very fortunate to count among our favorite past couples!  Gabriela and José were married in Catholic ceremony in Merida, Yucatan. Family and bride and groom photos were done earlier in the day at the reception site. Please be sure to scroll down to check out the stylish way they incorporated a very large and adorable group of  little ones (not to mention their beloved pets perfectly dressed for the occasion of course), not to mention the amazing reception. This wedding was coordinated by the team at BAKU Events.  All images © 2012  Lindsey and Elizabeth Medina.

Just couldn’t make it through this day of love without remembering some amazing 2011 couples and sharing a little bit of their wedding magic! With much love and appreciation from the whole gang at Elizabeth Medina Photography. Happy Valentine’s Day!

I am pretty sure I have mentioned here on the blog (possibly more than a few times!) how happy it makes me to hear couples say that they found their Mexico wedding venue through this blog. Makes me smile because I know for a fact that there can be no better place to be married than Mexico! One thing I don’t think I have ever talked about though is how cool it is to know that so many couples of the future check the blog for wedding inspiration!  (I am not a big one for the self promotion hype thing but I hope you will bear with me just this once as I say that it blows my mind to know the number of visits that this little wedding photography blog receives on any given day!)  Showing up at a wedding and hearing from the bride that she has been inspired by one of my past bride’s photographs almost makes me envision a world where my past and present brides would get together over coffee to flip through wedding albums, I guess I just wish such amazing people could all know each other! Fortunately for us, some of our past wedding photos actually helped Tiffany discover us (along with her “inspiration wedding”) when a relative sent her the sideshow another of our beautiful brides from the same northern state (Puerto Vallarta Kate, that would be you!)

Fast forward to almost two years later, Lauren and I were delighted to travel to Cabo to photograph Tiffany and Scott’s lovely wedding. This very special destination wedding was coordinated by the delightful Leslie Bost and Adriana Dupinet, principal wedding planners of One Happenings in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. The ceremony was held at Sunset da Mona Lisa and reception at Casa Dorada…. I know I am posting way too many images for one blog post but I can’t help but guess that this beautiful wedding may also prove inspirational!

Tiffany and Scott, we loved the time we spent with you and your group, thank you all for making us feel right at home!  How about starting with a little deserted beach trash the dress magic…. All photographs Lauren and Elizabeth Medina.

The wedding day…
