I looooove destination weddings :o) This time I was lucky enough to shoot a wedding in Mexico at the beautiful Al Cielo Hotel on Xpu-Ha Beach. Nicole & Rafael escaped (just in time) the East Coast snow storm and celebrated their wedding with friends & family under palm trees. Just gorgeous:

Since the ceremony was close to sunset tim, we took some photos before the “Yes, I do”. Here are some photos of them having the first glimpse at each other:

We took soooo many beautiful photos (how couldn’t one, with such a beautiful couple at this beautiful beach ..), that it was really hard for me to narrow them down to just a couple of favorites, haha!

Hmmmm, one of my favorites of Nicole, so pretty:

Nicole & Rafael had some mariachi singers during the ceremony. Loved their original outfits. :o)

What a setting! Al Cielo is such a pretty place for a wedding & they’re all soo nice there!

Nicole & Rafael decided that the guests should write the vows for them, and they would read them out loud to each other. Some of the guests were especially creative! :o))

I want to get married again! …. is it to early for a vow renewal after only 5 years of marriage? :o)

Hmmmm, and their hors d’oeuvres looked toooooo delicious:

And a pic of Sarah, Tim & cute lill’ Braden (one of my 2007 couples). Hi guys! :o)

Loved the placecards. What a cute idea! :o)

Yup, it was beautiful!

And some pics from their fun party:

Nicole & Rafael, I have no words. Your wedding was simply breathtaking! Thanks so much for having us! I hope you enjoyed this little sneak Peek :o)

A special thanks to the lovely Geneve, who joined me on our little trip :o)

And thanks also to Donaji from Whimsical Weddings Tulum, one of the nicest wedding planners I’ve ever worked with.
