We just got back from another amazing destination wedding at the Azul Sensatori between Cancun and Playa del Carmen Mexico . Amy and Daylen had a great group of wild and crazy friends who made the day extra special. The Azul Sensatori is just a wonderful 5 star all-inclusive resort which caters to your every need. Plenty of restaurants and bars, live entertainment, pools galore and a beautiful beach. I had my 2nd shooter Tom Galassi fly in all the way from Vancouver to help out and he captures some killer shots throught the day. Tom and I arrived a day early to get in some much needed R&R and enjoyed a great dive in Cozumel with Scuba Tony. We both would highly recommend him. We arrived at the resort rested and ready to shoot! When we arrived we received a welcome beach tote bag from Amy and Daylen filled with vacation essentials. The hangover kit inside was classic, but the most unique item was the write-your-own Do Not Disturb sign. I think every hotel should start carrying these ( especially the ones in Vegas ) and then I want to do a photobook on the messages people write!
We started a little earlier in the day to make sure we had time to document all the cool little details Amy brought down for her wedding. Many were purchased from the cool ‘sell your own product’ website Etsy. My favorite items were the super chic passport invitations complete with faux airline boarding pass. Really unique. And the Groom’s and Best Man’s personalized Black Converse were pretty damn cool.
Amy’s wedding gown was one of the coolest I’ve seen by designer Matthew Christopher. The wedding ceremony was held on the resorts sky deck overlooking the ocean and it was just a beautiful day. I love it when a couple is just overwhelmed with emotion. Not that I like to see a grown man cry, but I guess it’s becasue I was exactly the same way when I saw my wife walk down the aisle. Now, almost 8 years later, tears are still shed. Tears of pain…I kid I kid! Love you honey!
So after the emotional ceremony, we flowed into portraits and tried to get as much as we could before the sun set. But either we were running really late or the sun set really early! The wedding day flies by people! So take it all in and slow down.
The party got started at one of the restaurants on property. The decorations were out and it looked fantastic. We had a delicious dinner and the party was on. They hired a cigar roller which seemed to be a hit. Tom and I took them around the property at night for a few minutes because the place just looks so different and seems to come alive at night. I loved it! They ended the night by the wedding party jumping in the pool to “cool off” and it is forever captured on film.
The next day we did a really fun TTD and by the end, I got them rolling around in the surf and making out on the beach. I think the tourists liked the show!
A great time had by all.
