Jamie and Gabrielle, this awesome couple, decided to bring us on board as their wedding photographers! They went for the 8-hour photo shoot package. Super pumped, we were!
The wedding was a total blast and went down in November. Jamie and Gabrielle started their day getting all dolled up at the swanky Paradisus resort in Cancun. Let me tell you, that place is pure luxury! The excitement was palpable.
Then, the ceremony, you won’t believe it! It happened at Marena Beach Club in Playa del Carmen, right by the stunning Caribbean Sea. Those views? Out of this world. We were basically shooting in paradise!
After the “I do’s” and all, the party moved to an elegant indoor lounge at the beach club. The dinner and dancing vibes were off the charts. We captured some of the most amazing moments – laughter, tears, and all that jazz.
And now, drumroll, please… Here’s a sneak peek of the best shots we took! Seriously, guys, Jamie and Gabrielle’s wedding was a picture-perfect day in paradise. Cheers to these two lovebirds!
