Wedding Photo Shoot at Dreams Playa Mujeres

by Cancun (Riviera Maya), Family-Friendly Weddings, Photo Shoots

We had the pleasure of joining Christina and Josh on their special day as their trusty wedding photographers. They decided to roll with a casual and chill 5-hour photo session. The big day went down in October, and we found ourselves at the gorgeous Dreams Playa Mujeres, right in the heart of Cancun’s hotel zone.

So, picture this: the groom was chilling out in his room, getting prepped for the big moment, while the bride was getting all dolled up in a fancy bridal suite. Mother Nature had her own plans that day because it was a bit rainy, but that didn’t dampen our spirits. The ceremony had to be moved under the fantastic porch of Azure Veranda’s ballroom, which turned out to be a breathtaking backdrop.

After the “I do’s,” it was time to party! The reception and dinner were moved indoors to keep everyone dry. But let’s be real, a little rain couldn’t ruin the good vibes. We’ve got some killer shots to prove it. Here’s a sneak peek at some of our absolute faves from the day. Enjoy!
