A four day Cinco de Mayo wedding celebration on Isla Mujeres–what a heavenly way to tie the knot! When I saw Phil Chester's beautiful, vibrant photos, I could smell the salt of the ocean and recreate each view we'd just spent the week gazing at.
And those luchador masks? One of my favorite moments of the week was watching a family walk by us on the hottest afternoon of our trip, their youngest daughter trailing behind them wearing a Blue Demon mask and cape.
Tell me, would you ever plan a destination wedding? What would your dream locale be?

ReplyDeleteOMG this is such a gorgeous destination wedding. I seriously think it would be hard to plan, but worth it if you could pull it off like this!

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, this is like the ultimate beach wedding - love! And welcome back from your vacay, lady!
ReplyDeleteLOVE, LOVE, THIS WEDDING! I have a special place in my heart for destination weddings. David and I had a four day wedding weekend four years ago in Puerto Rico. It was a blast! Our friends still talk about it to this day. It was laid back and so chill. Our wedding guests looked like reps from the United Nations. They came from everywhere just to celebrate our wedding day. One flew overseas just for a few hours and left. We are thinking of having a vow renewal next year and everyone wants to know where it will be...this time I think Paris is calling since we got engaged there. Wanna come :-) ?
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad/excited you shared this! I'm getting married in Playa del Carmen (an hr south) in a month and I am in need of serious inspiration! so thank you! Also, the luchadore masks are a hilarious addition to the festivities!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like the perfect party, I love it!! The best thing about a destination wedding is that the party goes on and on. :)
ReplyDeleteThe whole time I was looking at these beautiful photos I was thinking "Where is this? I need to go!" Gorgeous. I would love to do a destination vow renewal down the line- I have quite a few years to figure out the exact location :-)
ReplyDeleteThat picture of them standing on the dock with just the water around them... perfection.
ReplyDeleteThe best part of this is how much FUN it seemed to be! I've been to too many weddings where it was all about the structure and schedule and "being perfect", but this just looked like a whole lotta love and pure fun being had! It is, after all, the best party of your life!
ReplyDeleteSuch stunning photos!! Looks like an amazing day for two people truly in love :)
ReplyDeletethat looks like a really fun wedding. When I first saw the wrestling mask I though it was a power ranger costume. :)
ReplyDeleteTres perfect, ever shot makes me want to do it all over again just like this! How fab is that video!!
ReplyDeleteYEAH PHIL! glad you like his work too, lena!
ReplyDeleteOmg I love this! And her hair!
ReplyDeleteBeach weddings are my favorite! I was married on the beach in Hawaii. So romantic! xx
ReplyDeleteThis wedding is outstanding!! Right up my alley! We did a destination wedding as you probably remember and I loved every bit of it. Oh gosh, these shots are amazing and so so so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love these because they genuinely look like relaxed and effortless.
ReplyDeletewow, the photographer captured such personality in these photos. bravo all around!
ReplyDeleteOh! This wedding looks like so much fun! My best friends are getting married in Fiji in November & I cannot wait for some island frivolity & their big day!!

I love the tilt-shit photography! And (as an aside) thanks so much for the kind words as of late. It's meant so much!
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are so beautiful. It looks like such a good time. I had a semi-destination wedding, and it was fun, but a bit stressful trying to pan everything.
