Destination Wedding Riviera Maya, Mexico
November 18, 2019 With  0 Comment

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!

    Want to know the most powerful thing that a photo Want to know the most powerful thing that a photo can capture is?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
EMOTIONS.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not the obvious ones of laughter, practiced posed or candid ones but the ones enrapturing you in intimate connection between two madly in love people who have bound their souls together
    Some may think I'm serious and "grown up" lol let Some may think I'm serious and "grown up" lol let me tell you, I may be grown up but I'm hardly ever serious and a total freaking goof. Always using sarcasm and jokes to laugh together, dancing because I can't stand still when theres tunes pumping (and I always have the tunes pumping)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Every photo shoot that I'm in front of the camera I have a 9-1 ratio of stupid faces vs "normal" face" and thats ok, I just cull to make myself feel better about my double chin and squinty eyes when I laugh too hard.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But thats me and I'm ok with having a terrible photo reel with odd moments, and creases around my eyes from growing up but never old and laughing my way through it all.
    I was convinced all day that it was Friday, turns I was convinced all day that it was Friday, turns out I’m off and get to live Friday all over again. Perhaps I should start the next one off with a Baileys🤔 thoughts?
    Lets take a minute to praise the winter sunsets🙏🏻
.
We all miss the spring flowers and the golden evenings of the summer nights but these golden winter hues are enough to take your breathe away too.
    Some days we need to fall, take a step back and ju Some days we need to fall, take a step back and just be for a day.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Be uninspired, step back from our plans and feel the weight of the world for a day.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With all the unknowns of covid, we're all in this unknown limbo and somedays it feels all consuming, especially as a photographer/wedding vendor. We all wonder what we're going to do, why we even bother working as hard as we do and what the end game is.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As a business owner, we don't get to just stop what we're doing and pass our stressors onto someone else.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The self doubt can come in full force and you dont get to give in, just hit pause until another day.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today is my pause day. I'm feeling the pressures from all directions, so I'm going to stay in bed, working away feeling a little of everything. Tomorrows another day, right?
