Dreams Tulum Wedding Slideshow | Alyson & Kevin

February 16, 2010 in Destination Wedding, Trash The Dress

I meet a lot of great people as part of what I do. It was no exception at Alyson and Kevin’s wedding. Their family and friends were awesome for the whole trip and it was really fun being around them while we were all there. I put together a slideshow of a little more than 100 images set to their fist dance song. The wedding took place in Tulum, Mexico at the Dreams Tulum Resort as well as the Tulum Ruins and a local cenote

One thing I love about what I do is convincing those who hate getting their pictures taken that it’s really not such a bad thing (in the right hands). Kevin was one of those guys, so it really meant a lot to me when Kevin told me after their trash the dress session that he had no idea he would have so much fun and it was one of the best parts of their trip.

That’s all for now. I can’t wait until my next trip to Mexico at the end of this month with a couple from Edmonton.

Trash the dress sessions are definitely more popular with destination weddings and I love when my couples want one as part of their package. Alyson had a second dress for this one so we did it the day before the wedding even though I am posting it second. Mexico has some great cenote’s which are fresh water cave systems that are embedded in Mexican history and culture. They are also beautiful and are worth the visit regardless if you bring a camera or not.

This image has easily become one of my new favorites. It really makes me want to live in Mexico so I can shoot more underwater trash the dress sessions.

Another one of my new fav’s. I have been to this cenote before but ran out of time before I could take any pictures of a bride in lily pads. I knew going in there that I just had to get it this time.

It was so much fun being down there with such an awesome couple. I can’t wait to be down to Mexico for another wedding again at the end of the month.

Destination Wedding Mexico | Alyson & Kevin

February 1, 2010 in Destination Wedding, Wedding

I just returned from the Mayan Riviera, Mexico staying at Dreams Tulum with Alyson & Kevin and 36 of their friends and family for one of the best destination weddings I have been to so far. I had a blast with the group and got some great images while there.

We did three days of photos, plus a little bit around the resort. First we did a mini engagement style shoot at the Tulum ruins 10 minutes from our resort, then a Trash The Dress session in a local cenote, and finally the wedding. I’ll post the TTD session photos in my next post right after this one.

The weather really held out for us. For three days it was calling for rain on the wedding day but we had perfect weather for the wedding. A bit of cloud for shade and not a hint of rain.

I love taking large group shots whenever possible. The resort photographer had no idea what I was doing when I wanted to take everyone away from the beach for the photos, but a little shade off the beach makes group shots way nicer.

Sometimes I bring along a specially modified Infrared Camera that takes amazing images.

It was an interesting experience because the resort actually insisted that their resort photographer be at the wedding even though I was there. For any couple wanting to see a side by side comparison and the importance of having your special day captured the in the best way possible, I would be happy to share.
