"A man with hugs that coat you like a blanket, lover of movies and truly the nicest man in the world" recently tied the knot with his captivating bride in one of the most spectacular settings in the Riviera Maya. Their dream wedding location was the Xpiral Pyramid, situated 150 feet above the Yucatan jungle at Hotel Xcaret, just south of Playa del Carmen, Mexico.
As couple's wedding dreams, changed during the pandemic, Mexico is now welcoming couples to celebrate their elopement or wedding. Whether you are looking for an elopement for two, an intimate family celebration or larger event, there are a variety of venues available with pandemic protocols for your safety.
It was a sunny afternoon when I phoned one of my Brides to discuss her upcoming wedding. Spring of 2020 was not a usual year in planning or celebrating a long awaited wedding. As couples dreams were postponed worldwide and familes were physically separated, couples were scurring for alternate dates, planning elopements or simply recovering from the shock their dream wedding was not coming to fruition. My Bride was frustrated and disappointed as one can imagine. So, looking out my window at the incredible scenary in front of me, I asked my Bride, "do you have your wedding dress with you". She replied, yes, it is hanging up, now I don't know when I will be wearing it". So, I looked at the calendar, made a quick weather check and said, "can you come out to the desert this weekend for a bridal shoot in one of the most gorgeous sites in the world?" She started packing her bags, accessories, cowboy boots and fiance', (with dress carefully hidden), and they began the four hour drive out west.

My Bride and Groom, Danielle and Jonah, were frustrated and disappointed as one can imagine. Inviations had already been sent out, their custom made Ketubah showing their initial wedding date was specially delivered from Israel and custom design wedding favors and a beautiful canvas as their guest book, were hidden away in a closet.
