Alexis and Cooper’s May wedding at Riviera Maya Haciendas in Puerto Aventuras, was the perfect blend of elegance and charm, set in the stunning backdrop of a private Mexican hacienda called Hacienda Corazon. With its colonial-style architecture, the venue was both intimate and grand, creating a magical setting for their big day. We started capturing the couple’s moments during the getting-ready session, with beautiful portraits in the villa’s stylish rooms. A touching first look between Alexis and her dad kicked off the emotions, followed by the first look with Cooper, which was filled with love and excitement as they saw each other for the first time.
The ceremony was a true highlight of the day, with Alexis making her grand entrance through the garden area, surrounded by lush greenery. As she walked down the aisle, Cooper waited at the top of the stairs, creating a breathtaking scene as he watched her approach from above. The guests were seated below in the garden, witnessing their vows under the shadow of the beautiful hacienda.
The combination of the colonial architecture and the open garden made the ceremony feel both intimate and grand, as their love story unfolded in such a unique and romantic setting.
Following the ceremony, the celebration continued with a delicious dinner in the hacienda’s indoor garden, where the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The night didn’t end there, though – the party moved to the beach terrace, where Alexis and Cooper danced the night away by the sea. The sound of waves and the cool ocean breeze made the perfect backdrop for a lively, fun-filled evening. It was a joy to capture these moments, and Alexis and Cooper’s wedding was truly a magical day to remember.
