Newlyweds and their daughters make their family official

Elopement, Weddings

Ashley and Nathan’s intimate elopement ​in the romantic Riviera Maya was like a love story written in the stars​, whispered through the jungle, shining in the eyes of their two beautiful daughters, and reflected back at them in the crystal clear cenote waters of Cenote Buho. 

​Far from crowded beaches and busy resorts, Cenote Buho is a tucked-away treasure in the Riviera Maya. Surrounded by lush jungle and emerald-green waters, ​i​t was the perfect place for ​A​shley + Nathan, who want​ed ​a​n intimate wedding​ celebration—​s​hared only with each other, their daughters, two best friends and her Dad.

Ashley and Nathan knew they​ wanted wedding celebration as special as they are, a moment that was just about them—no distractions, no timelines, just pure love in one of the most magical places on earth.

​Under a canopy of trees, with birdsong echoing through the air, Ashley and Nathan exchanged their vows by the water’s edge. The cenote’s still, glassy surface mirrored the quiet promises they made to one another—vows of adventure, ​family and partnership​ that lasts a lifetime.

Barefoot on the limestone rocks, they laughed and teared up and held each other close, surrounded by the calm energy ​and ancient spirit of the cenote. It felt timeless—like nature itself was bearing witness to ​and supporting their love.

The whole family shared in a sand ceremony, where each one added their own color of sand, creating inseparable layers of four colors to represent their intertwined futures ahead, together forever.

​After the ceremony, we explored ​m​ore of this magical place. Ashley and Nathan climbed rocks, dipped their feet into the cool, clear water, and couldn’t stop smiling at the thought ​of making lifelong family memories in this ​spiritual, beautiful place ​that ​was now part of their​ family history.

​Their day at Cenote Buho wasn’t just about stunning photos (though they definitely got those too!). It was about ​their personal way of making their family official, creating intimate memor​i​es that feel like them—unfiltered, adventurous, and full of love.

​A​fter shooting the cenote images, we continued their session​ at the beach, ​where Ashley and Nathan held each other close, savoring every last second of their once-in-a-lifetime day.

​ If you’re ready to skip the big wedding and run away somewhere magical together, I’d love to help you capture it all—every kiss, every promise, every adventure.
