Jillian and Simon dreamed about a destination wedding with their bare feet in the sand, and tropical breezes wafting over them, whispering romance. Their wedding celebration at Iberostar Paraiso Lindo in Mexico’s romantic Riviera Maya really delivered.
From the moment Jillian stepped into her gorgeous gown, to the last dance under the stars, their day was filled with laughter, love, and a sense of ease that can only come when two people are exactly where they’re meant to be—with each other and their son, making the perfect family.
The ceremony took place right on the beach under a simple curtained frame, with tranquil ocean sounds in the distance. Jillian looked stunning, radiant in the sparkling sunlight, and Simon’s reaction when he saw their son walking her down the aisle? Unforgettable. Pure emotion, the kind that makes you feel lucky to witness moments like these.
After the “I dos,” we explored the resort grounds for newlywed portraits—this place is a dream for photography. Colonial-style architecture, vibrant colors, and a golden-hour beach that looked like it came straight from a postcard. Jillian and Simon’s connection with each other made it easy to capture natural, heartfelt images—those quiet in-between moments where their love really shone.
The evening wrapped up with a lively reception where friends and family danced the night away under the stars. The gorgeous pagoda made a stunning photo backdrop with its’ marble staircase and golden filigree details. From heartfelt toasts to surprise dance moves, it was the perfect ending to a beautiful day.
Jillian and Simon, thank you for letting me be a part of your new family story. It was a joy to capture your love and laughter in such a picturesque place.
