We understand it can be somewhat of a daunting task to plan a wedding when you are located a full country or two away. It is our goal to update our site with as much helpful information as possible about planning a wedding in the Mayan Riviera and hiring a professional photographer.
Our most recent addition talks about professional photography equipment.
Hola all our past, current and future brides out there! Just updating our blog with another wedding that we shot for a wonderful couple at Dreams Tulum in the Mayan Riviera! Denise and Kirk were a wonderful couple to work with, they were very much in love, enjoying their day on the beach and in the sun. Dreams Tulum Resort and Spa has so much to offer couples on their wedding day and the grand staircase is a fantastic location for group shots.
Here are some pictures and a video that we have to share with you from the day.

I am going to post quick reviews of all the resorts we have attended in the past, as well as after each wedding we shoot in the future. Destination brides, please feel free to comment on the post with your experiences as well. Our future brides can benefit from any insight you may have. Brides helping brides!! Thank you for your input!
Although we had traveled to the Mayan Riviera several times, January was our first destination wedding. The resort we stayed at and captured the wedding/TTD was located in Puerto Aventuras. It’s a small gated community between Playa Del Carmen and Tulum. Features a golf course, marina, dolphins, homes, condos and of course a few Resorts. The Catalonia Yucatan/Riviera Maya is where we first discovered our love of the smaller resorts. It is two resorts in one but still a very nice size where you will run into family or friends from your group wherever you go. There is one wedding location for both the Catalonia and Rivera Maya. They set up a small tent and chairs on the north end of the Catalonia beach. It is somewhat private as there is a security guard that will clear out the area before hand and keep people away during your ceremony. The wedding ceremony was quite nice, complete with champagne afterward to celebrate the newly weds!
Angie and Chad were a fantastic couple to work with! We had alot of fun with them on the wedding day as well as a Trash the Dress session a couple days later. Chads favorite song “Warm it up Chris” by Kris Cross was surely featured in their wedding DVD slideshow. Not really, but it would have been funny!!
Here are a few photos of the couple. A wedding slideshow as well as photos of the TTD can be found on our website under the ‘Galleries’ link.
