Ocean Riviera Paradise Wedding Story. Teri + Andrew

Trash the Dress, Weddings

Teri and Andrew’s ​destination wedding at the stunning Ocean Riviera Paradise was a celebration​ filled with love, laughter, and breathtaking ocean views! Set against the backdrop of Riviera Maya’s turquoise waters and lush tropical gardens, their wedding day ​h​ad the perfect vibe of a tropical paradise.

The day started with Teri getting ready ​with her beautiful daughter Emma, (an amazing “mini-me replica” of her gorgeous Mom) surrounded by her closest friends and family, all sharing smiles, tears, and joyful toasts. Teri looked radiant in her elegant gown, with her bouquet of ​f​ragrant roses and lilies adding a beautiful pop of color. Meanwhile, Andrew and his groomsmen enjoyed a laid-back morning before donning their suits and getting ready to say “I do.”

The ceremony took place on a pristine beach, where guests were welcomed by a gentle ocean breeze and the sound of waves crashing on the shore. Teri and Andrew’s ​emotional vows​ left everyone teary-eyed and smiling. As they exchanged rings and sealed their promises with a kiss, the sun seemed to shine just a little brighter – a perfect moment to start their life together.

After the ceremony, we captured ​a ​s​tunning newlywed photo session, where the light danced on the water, casting a warm glow over the happy couple. From playful, candid shots to intimate portraits, Teri and Andrew’s love truly shone through.

The reception was a magical blend of fun and elegance, with delicious food, lively music, and heartfelt toasts from friends and family. Teri and Andrew’s first dance was a beautiful moment as they moved gracefully under a canopy of lights, surrounded by the love of their guests. As the night went on, everyone joined in on the dance floor, celebrating the start of their journey together.

Teri and Andrew’s wedding was a true paradise, and we are honored to have captured each moment of this beautiful day.

At a picturesque cenote, their love story took on an ethereal vibe that felt like it could have been straight out of a fairy tale. Teri’s dress floated in the crystal clear water like a dream, and when they kissed underwater, time stood still!
