When it comes to planning a destination wedding in Mexico, Playa Del Carmen stands out as a top choice. It’s no wonder couples from around the world choose this tropical paradise to celebrate their love. Recently, I had the pleasure of capturing a breathtaking destination wedding in Playa Del Carmen. A highlight being the Traditional Mayan Ceremony.
Weddings are more than just a celebration of love, they are a testament to the journey two people share together. I was thrilled when Hailey reached out to me with the news that she and Codie were tying the knot in Mexico. It was an honour to witness and document such a significant moment in their lives. From the emotional ceremony to the joyous reception, every aspect of their destination wedding was a true reflection of their love.
Despite the weather being unpredictable, the skies cleared just long enough for them to say their vows. While the rain ultimately forced their reception indoors, it didn’t dampen their spirits. Hailey and Codie shared their first dance on the rooftop terrace, dancing under the pouring rain. Their love story is one that deserves to be celebrated, and I feel grateful to have been part of such a beautiful day. If you’re considering a destination wedding, embrace the adventure—it’s a decision you won’t regret!
“Mayan traditions are filled with deep spiritual meaning that ties both the soul and nature together. A Mayan wedding ceremony must be officiated by a native priest, known as a Shaman. This ceremony includes different elements including musical instruments, songs, and sacred rituals. Mayan wedding ceremonies are enchanting and a true honour to experience. Their purpose is to not only unite partners physically in marriage but spiritually uniting their souls. This is done through a shared experience and connection to Nature. With rituals symbolically presented as blessings from the four elements of nature (earth, water, fire, air).“
“We had a traditional Mayan ceremony in Playa del Carmen, Mexico so we were very particular about not only the right style of photography but the right fitting person to join our family for this incredibly intimate moment. Capri blended seamlessly with our families, making everyone feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. This allowed her to capture genuine moments throughout the entire day. The final photos are absolutely breathtaking! Every photo really showcases the beauty of our Mayan wedding, from the sacred ceremony to the dance party that followed. She truly captured the emotion of each moment, it brings me right back into all the feels when going back through the photos. I have received so many compliments about how magical the photos turned out, and we couldn’t agree more! If you are planning a destination wedding and want a photographer who is wildly talented, creative and truly passionate about their craft, Capri is your gal!”
