Jennifer and I were honored and extremely excited to photograph the wedding of our awesome friends Graham and Rhea on Isla Mujeres, an island just off the coast from Cancun, Mexico. It's a small island, about 5 miles long and half a mile wide, and absolutely beautiful. The people were welcoming and friendly, the beaches were perfect, and the town had a lot of character and just enough tourism to make things fairly convenient. The food was incredible--every place we ate, whether it was the swankiest joint in town or the "Cocina Economica", the food was awesome every time. And it happened to be Carnaval that week, so there were celebrations and lots of amazing dance troupes at the town square every night. I could go on!
But most importantly, Rhea and Graham's wedding was stunning. They had events over three days including a snorkeling trip, bachelor and bachelorette parties, and of course the picture-perfect beach ceremony. It was an honor to have shared the weekend with them and their friends and family. Thanks you two!
These boys were eating candy while observing Graham and his men playing basketball in the town square during the bachelor party. We ended up playing basketball with a bunch of local boys with some of their parents looking on and cheering.
On the right you can see the rehearsal happening on the beach.
Since 1683?!
Graham and Rhea hand-made all these beautiful tissue paper cutouts.
The ceremony (which was one of the most touching, amazing ceremonies we've ever seen) was supposed to end just before sunset, but it ended up going a half-hour into the dark. Luckily we were prepared with our wireless strobe gear, and it ended up looking really cool!
I think everyone should consider piƱatas at their reception!

I love that I, as the groom, was the second person to choose this as the "best post ever."
