Love always finds its way to the most beautiful places, and Louise + Laura’s dream destination wedding at the Riu Yucatan Resort in Playa del Carmen was a shining example of that truth. Their same-sex wedding was filled with spontaneous laughter, profound emotion, and a celebration of togetherness that radiated pure joy.
Friends and family traveled from near and far to witness a love story that blossomed against the turquoise Caribbean Sea, making this day not just a wedding, but a lifelong memory that will forever live in the hearts of everyone present.
The Ceremony by the Sea
Set against the natural beauty of the Riviera Maya coastline, Louise + Laura exchanged vows with the ocean as their witness. The ceremony site décor was understated yet meaningful—a scrolled metal arch decorated with elaborate florals framing the sparkling Caribbean horizon.
The moment they held hands and looked into each other’s eyes, there wasn’t a dry eye among their guests. Their ceremony wasn’t just about “I do,” but about celebrating equality, unity, and the power of love.
Timeless Newlywed Portraits
After the ceremony, we took full advantage of Playa del Carmen’s breathtaking scenery on the beach, and around the resort. Louise + Laura strolled barefoot along the shoreline, letting the sparkling sunshine highlight every glance, laugh, and kiss they shared.
The results were timeless portraits that radiated both elegance and authenticity—a true reflection of their love story. These images are proof that the Riviera Maya offers some of the most enchanting backdrops for destination wedding photography.
