Moon Palace Destination Wedding in Mexico Mayan Riviera

The wedding of Yvonne and David was a beautiful celebration of love and locale taking place in the amazing Mayan Riviera outside of Cancun, Mexico. It was an honour to be part of their day and to help capture the memories that they will enjoy for a lifetime to come. Many of their guests came from the Toronto area, where the couple lives. Yvonne looked so beautiful, the dress was gorgeous, and her friend did an incredible job with Yvonne’s makeup. The ceremony site was a wonderful stretch of sandy beach, Yvonne had decorated everything perfectly, and all the details were superb from the basket of brushes to get the sand off guests’ shoes, to the champagne toast and cocktail hour along the ocean front. The wedding took place at Moon Palace Golf & Spa Resort in the Mexican Mayan Riviera. Moon Palace resort near Cancun is definitely a great location for destination weddings in Mexico. Although it rained most of the trip, for the wedding day itself fortunately, it stopped raining and the sky was slightly overcast. It was perfect for the lighting and no one had to squint in the blazing sun or get burned.

Before the ceremony, the couple met around a corner from each other for a gift exchange. We took a photo of them holding hands around the corner but not seeing each other. It was a great moment! The groom went to the ceremony site, David anxiously waited as Yvonne arrived to the ceremony in a horse drawn carriage. Afterwards, the couple shared their first dance together on the beach. The entire wedding was fantastic, and we had a lovely time working with Yvonne and David. We wish them the very best of all that is to come.

Jamie & Vanessa | Dreams Resort Punta Cana Destination Wedding

We were so happy to photograph another wedding on our trip to the Dominican Republic in November! Jamie and Vanessa had their beautiful ceremony on the beach of Dreams Palm Beach Resort in Punta Cana, DR. The couple and their family came over from Toronto and across the world to celebrate the marriage and experience the amazing hospitality of the Dominican Republic and its people!

Vanessa’s Mom helps her with a few final details before leaving for the ceremony.

It was raining for part of the day and luckily there were a few moments of clear skies right before the ceremony.

The rain held off perfectly until just as the couple was pronounced husband and wife, then the guests came huddling around with umbrellas to shelter the couple for their first kiss.

It was time for the kiss, and joyful emotions overcame everyone!

Punta Cana Wedding Photography | Dominican Republic Destination Wedding

Many of our destination wedding clients like to include a day-after shoot as part of their wedding package. These photo sessions are always so much fun and produce spectacular images. Here are some images from one of the sessions in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. We know of a few secluded beaches that are not part of one of the resorts and this is always a great location that we take our wedding couples who are getting married in Punta Cana.

Although they call this a “Trash the Dress” session, don’t worry! She had her dress dry cleaned and then wore it again back home for another reception.
