When Arlette and Michael arrived at the stunning Barcelo Maya Colonial, the Caribbean was sparkling under the warm Mexican sun. What Arlette didn’t know was that Michael had a heartfelt surprise planned—one that would turn their tropical getaway into the life-changing moment of an unforgettable milestone. With the turquoise waters as their backdrop and soft sea breezes surrounding them, the stage was set for the perfect surprise proposal in Playa del Carmen.
Michael led Arlette to a quiet, palm-lined stretch of beach where the golden light of the late afternoon painted everything in warm tones. As the waves rolled gently to shore, he dropped to one knee and asked the question that would change their lives forever. Her joyful “yes” echoed above the sound of the sea, sealing the moment with pure emotion.
We had the honor of capturing every smile, every happy tear, and the glow of love that surrounded this incredible couple. From playful strolls along the water’s edge to romantic embraces framed by lush tropical palms, each image reflects the beauty of both their love and this breathtaking Riviera Maya setting.
