Destination Wedding Riviera Maya, Mexico

November 18, 2019
Featured  ·  Photography  ·  Wedding

These two had such an incredible wedding experience planned and I can’t even express how honoured I was that they chose me to be a part of it. We started with their elopement and vows near home and celebrated with their family on the beach of Riviera Mayan, Mexico.

We celebrated the legalization of their marriage in front of Rogers Arena. I was a little surprised when Monique first mentioned the location but once I learnt that that’s where they first met face to face on their first day I was instantly in love! It was cool and crisp afternoon but so filled with intimate love that we forgot about the weather and listened while they committed their love to one another.

One month later we were flying through the clouds to sunny Mexico for their wedding. They had about 50 of the friends and family there to celebrate their marriage! There were monkeys swinging in the trees and the lulling of the waves in the background of their ceremony. Saying their vows overlooking an incredible Cenote was something out of this world! We then danced around the resort without a care in the world other than the two of them and it was incredible! The vibe from everyone wishing them congratulations and all the children thinking she looked like a princess was so genuine.

Their reception was originally supposed to be in one of their typical restaurants but they were so fortunate and were able to get a cancellation on their first choice venue of an option roof top oasis. We got to toast during sunset and they had their first dance under the stars. It was truly incredible filled with so many memories I will cherish forever!

Let's freeze this moment in time, together

There’s something so timeless about a woman in h There’s something so timeless about a woman in her wedding gown—before the music plays, before the guests arrive, before the day officially begins.

It’s that quiet space where emotions stir, anticipation builds, and the beauty of this chapter really sinks in.

This bridal session was all of that and more—soft light, still air, and the reminder that being fully present in your day is what makes it unforgettable.

Don’t rush these moments. Let’s give you the space to take it all in, and remember how it felt.

Your anniversary doesn’t have to be a grand gest Your anniversary doesn’t have to be a grand gesture to mean something big.

Here are 3 timeless ways to celebrate your story:

💌 Revisit your vows – Read them out loud. Remind each other of the promises made and how you’ve grown into them.

📸 Book a session, just the two of you – Capture who you are now—not just who you were on your wedding day. Every chapter deserves to be seen.

🥂 Do something that feels like you – Whether it’s coffee in your backyard, a hike to your favorite lookout, or dinner at the spot you first met… choose simplicity and intention over pressure and performance.

Marriage isn’t about one day—it’s about the days after.
So celebrate how far you’ve come, and the love that continues to grow.

The little details? They’re not so little. Whet The little details? They’re not so little.

Whether it’s your grandmother’s earrings, the perfume you saved just for this day, or the ribbon wrapped around your bouquet—these pieces hold stories. They’re the quiet moments that ground you and bring your wedding day full circle.

If you’re in the thick of planning, here’s your reminder: take time to gather the items that feel like you. Not for the sake of the photos (though yes, I’ll absolutely capture them)—but because these tiny pieces will one day bring you right back to how it all felt.

What’s one meaningful item you’re including in your day?
