So, guess who got the honor of being Jeff and Jess’s wedding photographers? Yep, it was us, capturing all the magic on their big day with an 8-hour photo shoot. And let me tell you, it was one for the books! Their wedding went down in November, and we were psyched to be a part of it.
The whole day kicked off at the stunning Zorba Beach Homes, this incredible beach villa right smack in front of the ocean. The vibes were chill, the air was salty, and the excitement was palpable. Jess looked like an absolute goddess while she was getting ready, and Jeff, well, he scrubbed up pretty darn well too!
Now, here’s the cool part – they had a shaman leading a traditional Mayan ceremony right by the sea. It was something else, like straight out of a movie.
The waves crashing in the background, the sun setting – it was pure magic. After that, the party moved right back to Zorba for cocktails, dinner, and some killer dance moves. We’re thrilled to share with you the best snaps we took that day. They’re not just photos; they’re pieces of memories that will last a lifetime.
