Samantha and Steven chose us to be their wedding photographers, and they went all-in with an 8-hour photo session. What a gig! So, picture this – it was October, and we found ourselves at the stunning Live Aqua Beach Resort in the heart of Cancun’s hotel zone. The excitement was off the charts as we all got ready for the big day.
We started the day with Samantha’s gorgeous dress and Steven’s dashing suit. We were all buzzing with anticipation. The Live Aqua Beach Resort was our playground for the day, and we couldn’t have asked for a better backdrop. The ceremony took place on the Egos terrace, and it was just breathtaking. Love was in the air, and we couldn’t help but feel like we were part of something truly special.
After the “I do’s” and sealing the deal with a kiss, we moved on to the reception and dancing, which were set in a private outdoor area at the same resort. The vibes were relaxed, and everyone was having a blast. It was one of those nights you wish could last forever. Now, let’s dive into some of our favorite shots from that unforgettable day.
