Playa Del Carmen Destination Wedding Photos


Destination wedding photos in Playa del Carmen, Mexico


Two separate groups of friends gathered downtown at the Honest Lawyer to celebrate their friends’ going away party. As Darryl and his friends toasted to new beginnings, he couldn’t help but catch the eye of a pretty girl at the table next to them. When Lindsay describes this moment now, she says it was like a ‘spark‘ and remembers mentioning to her friend that ‘a man with his looks couldn’t possibly be single’. Well, maybe it was the beer, or the sudden confidence brought on by Lindsay looking his way, but Darryl decided to make his way over to their table to introduce himself. Lindsay and Darryl hit it off right away and have been inseparable ever since.

Darryl proposed at home, just days before a vacation together down South. It was clear that the sweet summer-like heat and tropical beaches had their hearts, so it was natural for them to plan a destination wedding in one of the most beautiful beachside resorts in Mexico! They chose to celebrate at the Azul Fives Hotel in Playa del Carmen, with their closest friends and family by their side. It was an honour to travel with them as their destination wedding photographer and to experience the culture, relaxation and incredible scenery that Mexico has to offer!

The wedding day itself was everything a bride could dream of! Lindsay and her bridesmaids got ready in their sky suite, while Darryl and his groomsmen prepared separately in suite across the resort…

The Ceremony took place in the Grand Garden at Azul Fives; overlooking the infinity pool and oceanside nearby. Pink and gold linens softened the chairs and coordinated perfectly with the colours of the day.

Pinned to Lindsay’s bouquet were two lockets of loved relatives who were unable to be with them that day. It was a beautiful nod to their memory and a way to have a piece of their love with them in Mexico.

As the sun set, we made our way back to the Reception space, which had been transformed with gold linens, white string lights and a dance floor for the night of celebrations ahead.
