A Dreamy Destination Wedding in Playa del Carmen
The tropical ambiance of Playa del Carmen created the perfect backdrop for Amy + Shaun’s unforgettable destination wedding at the Riu Yucatan Resort. Surrounded by swaying palms and soft Caribbean breezes in the gorgeous gardens, their ceremony was filled with love, emotion, and the joyful energy of their closest friends and family.
From the first time Shaun saw Amy approaching him, to their forever vows in the garden, every moment radiated the genuine connection between the couple. Their day reflected not only elegance but also a relaxed tropical vibe that made everyone feel at home in paradise.
Garden Ceremony at Riu Yucatan
Amy walked across the lawn surrounded by verdant jungle gardens, serenaded by tropical birdsongs trilling through the swaying palms. Their ceremony décor was luxuriously romantic. A towering frame held flowing white curtains tied back with elaborate florals, and was draped with lines of shimmering gems cascading down to form a back wall. Guests cheered as the couple sealed their forever vows with a kiss, “not a dry eye in the house”.
As Playa del Carmen wedding photographers, we love how the Riu Yucatan offers intimate ceremony spaces while keeping that authentic Mexican charm. It’s the perfect blend of resort conveniences and comfort combined with the Caribbean’s natural beauty.
Golden Hour Wedding Portraits
One of the most magical parts of the day was capturing Amy + Shaun against the setting sun which cast it’s golden glow over their wedding portraits. Bubbling laughter, playful glances, and heartfelt embraces told the story of their love in the most genuine way, captured in timeless images through our lenses.
Drone shots, candid group moments, and detail captures of décor and rings all came together to create a wedding gallery that feels both natural and artful.
