I swear this pink, Vera Wang gown dances in my dreams. I didn’t think it could possibly be prettier until I saw it on this Bride. It is as though it was made just for her and her stunning Mexico beach wedding designed by Canteiro. And the pretty doesn’t stop there. Oh no. It just keeps getting better, and thankfully Blueberry Photography was on hand to capture every moment so we could soak it all up here.

From Blueberry Photography…I first met Pamela and Shaun when I photographed their engagement session in 2012 and I knew then that I had to take every opportunity possible to photograph this strikingly, beautiful couple. Obviously, I was thrilled when they asked me to photograph their destination wedding in Tulum, Mexico. Tulum is a tiny town in the Riviera Maya, about an hour and half south of Cancun, nestled on the longest stretch of white sand beach I have ever seen! The entire town makes a huge effort to be as eco friendly and sustainable as possible and the venue, Las Ranitas Hotel, is no exception. The ceremony was held on the beach, under a romantic, wood and cloth canopy, surrounded by palm trees. I could not believe how private and intimate the entire event was! Pamela has exceptional taste and style and is one of those unique beauties that can pull of anything and everything. Her pink gown and statement necklace couldn’t have been more perfect against the soft, blue sea. The team from Alison Events did a fabulous job coordinating the event, and Planner 1 created a stunning array of pink, white and green floral arrangements. The food, which was prepared by Las Ranitas, was traditional Mexican cuisine with an elegant presentation. The mango margaritas and tres leches cake were a couple of my favorites! It was a beautiful day that left both my heart and camera extremely happy. I was also lucky enough to photograph Pamela and Shaun’s day after session. We traveled to a nearby Cenote which is an underground sink hole, filled with fresh ground water. The photos we captured are some of my all time favorites!
