On January 7th Wendy and Michael were married during a beautiful sunset ceremony in the sand at the ocean's edge in the Mayan, Mexico. The day was perfect and we were so excited to be there to capture it all. Wendy and her mom had their hair appointments in the BahiaSpa at the resort and then we headed back to their villa for all the preparations. The ceremony took place about 4:30 as the sun was setting. Their vows were so personalized and meaningful, the ceremony was spoken in Spanish and translated by Eugenia the wedding coordinator. We all attended a special reception dinner in a private area of one of the resort restaurants followed by drinks and live entertainment in the lounge. Wendy looked stunning, Michael was emotional, all the details were elegant and family and friends who had flown in to attend their wedding celebration had an amazing time.
Rewind 24 hours earlier when we met Wendy and Michael at 7 am to head into downtown Tulum to shoot a Trash the Dress session. We were hoping for some rustic, authentic Mexican culture for the shoot and that's exactly what we got. The people in the town were friendly and inquisitive. As we were shooting in the streets we could see many people peeking out through their curtains wondering what was going on. They were curious about Brian's steadicam and why there was a bride and groom wandering around near their homes. We met a couple of Mexican gentlemen who offered Wendy and Michael a bible that they said would ensure them a lifetime of happiness. After some time in the town we took a taxi to a secret beach to shoot some incredible footage of the soft white sand and teal blue water. This stretch of the beach was owned and maintained by a Mexican director who shoots many of his movies there. We were glad one of the locals told us about it as it's hidden between resorts.
We had an amazing time with Wendy and Michael and it's been an incredible 9 months since we first met them. We shot their e-fusion session last June, I created their unique wedding invitations and took photos at Wendy's bachelorette party. We are close friends now and look forward to many more special times in their lives as the years pass. They are now heading back to Mexico for their official honeymoon after having their back home reception last night in Hamilton where we previewed their highlights from Mexico (see below). We hope they get to relax and enjoy their time together as newlyweds now that they don't have all the wedding preparations to think about.
