So, you won’t believe this, but Ashley and Marc had us as their wedding photographers, and it was such a blast! We spent a whole 10 hours capturing their special day. Yep, you read that right, a whole 10 hours of pure wedding awesomeness. The big day went down in May, and it was nothing short of amazing.
The day started off at Casa Palapa, this cool private beach house right on the northern wing of the Papaya Playa Project hotel. It was like a tropical paradise, and the perfect place for Ashley and Marc to get ready. We’re talking breathtaking ocean views, folks! I mean, it was the ideal spot to kick off this epic journey.
The ceremony was seriously something else. It went down just a few steps away from Casa Palapa, under this super cool tropical chapel perched on the rocks overlooking the ocean.
Imagine the waves crashing, the breeze blowing through, and Ashley and Marc saying their “I do’s.” It was pure magic, folks.
And then came the party! Dinner and dancing were on the menu, and they happened under the dreamy palapa that gives Casa Palapa its name. This place had all the vibes – it was like something out of a fairy tale. We captured some epic shots throughout the day, and we can’t wait to show you the best ones. Get ready to relive the magic!
