Leanne and Bryan had us snap away as their wedding photographers, and they went with the 5-hour photo session – talk about keeping it chill! Their big day went down in May, and let me tell you, it was a real blast. We got the party started with the pre-wedding shenanigans at the Hyatt Zilara Cancun. Those two were all smiles, and it was like photographing pure joy.
Then, it was off to the main event at this super romantic, Lady of Guadalupe’s Chapel, ideal for Catholic ceremonies overlooking the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. Leanne looked like a goddess, and Bryan? Well, he looked pretty darn dapper, too. The vows were heartfelt, the kisses were passionate, and the love was just oozing out of those two.
But the fun didn’t stop there. After the “I do’s,” we all hightailed it to the same resort for a private dinner bash in one of the swank lounges. The vibe was relaxed, the drinks were flowing, and the couple’s laughter was infectious. It was one of those nights where you couldn’t help but join in on the celebration.
We’re not kidding when we say it was tough to pick just a few shots to share with you, but here they are – a small batch of the absolute best moments from Leanne and Bryan’s unforgettable day. Cheers to the happy couple, and here’s to capturing the kind of love that makes our job a blast!
