Talk about a dream wedding in every sense of the word! Ali & Kyle’s Cancun Destination Wedding was like something you’d watch in a movie! As I walked around the Hyatt Ziva Resort to scout locations, I was in complete awe! This place is breathtaking, with the bluest ocean views that I’ve ever seen! It doesn’t hurt that the couple is absolutely gorgeous too! 😉
I should mention that I’ve known Kyle his whole life because he’s my cousin. So this wedding was super special for me to photograph because he has always been like a little brother to me. Oh the stories I could tell! LOL! I’m so happy that he’s found the woman of his dreams. Ali fits so perfectly into our family!
I love all the details that were sprinkled throughout the day! Ali gave the sweetest gifts to her mom & stepmom as they were getting ready. They all had matching bracelets that signified their tight bond.
This group was in full “vacation mode” if you know what I mean! There was no shortage of cervezas or margaritas throughout the day, so they definitely had a lot of fun!
Ali and Kyle did a private reading of their vows together out by the lighthouse. It was such a special time for them to really focus on one another prior to the ceremony. Their words were heartfelt & sweet, with a side of humor that fits them both so well!
The wedding party was compiled of siblings and close friends that love the bride and groom so much!
Cancun Destination Wedding – Hyatt Ziva Resort in Mexico
We only had about 5 minutes for sunset photos before the reception began which made me a little sad, but these photos were worth every second!
And as if the day couldn’t get any prettier, we headed to the rooftop reception, complete with a light-up dance floor and sparklers! They sure know how to do weddings right!
