Destination weddings have a special place in my heart cause my husband

and I also had a destination wedding.  It wasn’t on the sandy beaches of Mexico

but there is that big of nostalgia that creeps in when I drop my camera bag,

kick off my shoes and feel the sand between my toes as I shoot the wedding.

I mean where else do I get to shoot bare foot right?!?  ha ha.

Steven & Brandi got married at the Moon Palace Golf Resort & Spa in Cancun.

The Moon Palace Golf Resort & Spa is one of the nicest all inclusive

hotels that I have been too, not to mention the biggest.

Here are some words from the Bride & Groom

Most Memorable Moment

Bride

The look on Stevens face as I walked towards him. IT was a look of pure proudness

and love as his eyes filled with tears. After out first kiss our son clapped and

laughed in excitement.  The look on his face is priceless and a moment

that I will get to cherish forever as our amazing photographer was able

to capture it (she gets browny points for saying that ha ha). Also the way my

mom looked. She was absolutely breathtaking. The look on hers and my daddy’s face

made me more certain that my life decision was perfect as they watched their only child

and baby girl get married.

Groom

Watching Brandi come in the horse and carriage with her dad and our son brought

tears to my eyes. I knew then “this is it, Im going to spend the rest of my life

with the woman I love”. She made the day so much brighter with her

beautiful presence. Every moment spent by her side that day are moments

I will forever remember.

Advice to couples planning destination weddings

My advice to anyone planning a destination wedding is to not stress or panic.

Have faith that everything will be perfect. Not being in control just about

killed me. I had everyone around me stressed as well. When the day arrived

it was beyond perfect. They do this multiple times a day everyday. Everything

will work out.
