Having met Sue and Roan a few months back in Tulum I knew a bit about their relaxed and somewhat non-traditional plans for the wedding. It was really great to see how the plans became a beautiful reality on the wedding day. The El Dorado Maroma is a small and intimate resort, perfect for the wedding which was held on the wooden pier deck over the ocean. Lauren and I met with the bride and groom prior to the ceremony for a “first look” and then some portraits of bride and groom around the garden areas of the resort. I felt that we were able to capture some of the “spark” between Sue and Roan who seemed to light up in each other’s company.

Bride and groom before the ceremony…

A few images from the ceremony over the ocean.

The next two images are Lauren’s, I loved both moments!

I am not even going to try to explain what is going on here since I don’t know if I really understood!

Tina and Garrett were married in a beach ceremony at the Sandos, Playacar in Playa de Carmen. i was very pleased to be their wedding photographer.The weather was very iffy that day, it actually rained right before the ceremony…but fortunately it stopped just in the nick of time and the afternoon was beautiful. The Sandos Playcar is located on a stretch of pristine beach and was a fantastic location for the next morning’s “trash the dress” session at sunrise. It was beautiful and such a pleasure to spend time with this delightful couple. Graicas Tina and Garrett, more photos are coming very soon!

If I had a little “photographer’s favorite” insignia for my blog posts I might put it on this photo, I think Tina’s beautiful spirit comes through.

Getting ready…

The flowers arrive…

The ceremony…

6 am, a beautiful new day and time to trash the dress…
