Kiersta and Tom had us on board as their wedding photographers down in Isla Mujeres, this stunning island just across from Cancun. They were such cool customers, and they went all-in with the 8-hour photo gig, having Adrian Bonet as lead photographer and Ivonne Matias as a 2nd shooter. Their big day? October – a month made for lovers.
Our adventure kicked off at the Ixchel Beach Hotel, where they were getting ready. Picture this: a penthouse suite with all the glitz and glam. And yeah, we were there to capture every bit of the magic. Once the prep was in the bag, we hopped on the road to Punta Sur, this chill eco-park that’s like Mother Nature’s masterpiece. There’s beaches, a lighthouse, and these wild sculptures along a cliffside path with drop-dead gorgeous sea views.
Now, the main event! The “I dos” and all that jazz went down at the Zama Beach Club. It was like something straight out of a movie, trust us. The ceremony, the reception, and the grub – all in one awesome spot. We were snapping away like there was no tomorrow. And guess what? We’ve got the cream of the crop, the absolute best pics from the whole shebang. So, without further ado, check ’em out!
