Josie and Blaine had the most beautiful Mexican Destination Wedding! Surrounded by family & friends, they celebrated on the beach, and drank margaritas in the moonlight! It was definitely an incredible experience that I’m sure none of us will ever forget!
They got married at the breath-taking Dreams Riviera Cancun Resort. We all stayed for a few days to soak in the sun and truly enjoy this trip. I was excited to photograph a wedding in another country and it was super special because the groom is my cousin!

Can we just talk about how spectacular these details are? I had to pinch myself every now and again to be reminded that I was actually in Mexico photographing a wedding! Bucket list dream achieved!

Josie’s dad gave her a pair of bowling shoes to remind her of the first night she introduced Blaine to her family. He knew right then and there that he was going to be the man to marry her!
