Destination Wedding in Cancun, Mexico
International destination weddings are one of my absolute favorites! The excitement and the adventure of travelling overseas to film and photograph bridal couples is simply exhilarating. Alex and Andrew chose the beautiful and exotic town of Costa Mujeres in Mexico.
An intimate and unique destination elopement day experience with their family and friends. Having everyone in the one place over several days, means there is opportunity for deep and meaningful conversations and connections. Combining overseas photography, bridal couples and family focused in a multi-day experience is one of my greatest passions.
Where is Costa Mujeres, Mexico?
Situated in the heart of the Mexican Caribbean, Costa Mujeres, Mexico is a small slice of paradise. Just a 20-minute drive north will get you to the very popular location of Cancun. Coast Mujeres is the place to enjoy the relaxed vibe of a beautiful, beachside city and all it has to offer. Lined with private homes, golf courses and resorts, the white sandy beaches stretch for 3.2 kilometers.
There are restaurants full of delectable cuisines from all over the world. Spanish, Arab, Mayan and Lebanese restaurants all situated at Costa Mujeres. Find yourself immersed in the waves, surfing, boating or snorkelling with turtles. Visit some of the Mayan sites like El Meco Archaeological zone and view the lovely floral gardens and iguana population.
The best time of the year to visit the sparkling turquoise ocean is from December to April.
