Invading Tulum | Tiffany & Ly

Monday, June 15th, 2009

Hello everyone,

Tiffany and Ly’s trash the dress session took place at Tulum (Cancun, Mexico)! We found out that we needed permits to photograph in the Mayan Ruins of Tulum, of which we did not prepare for, so we took a stroll to a local beach. We did not know that our trek to the next beach would take 45 minutes, but it turned out for the better.

When we got to the beach, we rented a couple boats and sped across the ocean to the Mayan Ruins of Tulum. Although we could not go on shore, we took some amazing photographs with the ruins in the background!

This photograph reminded me of the Dos Equis’ Most Interesting Man in the World. “I do not usually drink beer, but when I do, I prefer a Dos Equis. Stay thirsty my friends.”

Check out Cancun’s blue water! The water did not even look real!

This is by far my favorite photograph. This image is simple, yet so elegant. Courtesy of Lawrence =)

During our trash the dress photo shoot, we encountered a group of tourists who thought Tiffany and Ly were actual models. Instead of having the tourists stand on the sidelines, we invited them to take part in this next photograph!

Of course, we had to dip our feet in the water. The water was SO warm!

Stay thirsty,

Attention ladies and gentlemen (drum rolls),

It is my absolute pleasure to finally announce that Tiffany and Ly has finally tied the knot. And out of all places, these New Yorkers picked my favorite location – CANCUN, Mexico! For those who do not know who these two are, they are my favorite couple from New York. The links below are their engagement photographs during my stay in Manhattan, New York:

Their wedding was hosted at Casa Magna Marriott in Cancun. That hotel was immaculate and the food / service were to stellar! Tiffany and Ly had an outside wedding along the beach overlooking the turquoise ocean. Check it out!

This was my favorite wedding photo of the day! It is always a touching part of the wedding when a parent walks their daughter down the aisle.

Island of the Ladies | Colleen & Hector

Monday, May 25th, 2009

Hola!

Cancun is such a wonderful place to get married! During Spring, Cancun offers a breezy 80 degree weather with low humidity. The best part of Cancun is the unbelievably turquoise ocean that looks like a huge jello bowl!

Colleen and Hector chose their wedding to be hosted at Isla Mujeres – a beautiful island off the coast of Cancun. It was a small and intimate wedding. The location (Vista de la Luz at Isla de la Mujeres) Colleen and Hector selected offered such a spectacular view that I do not even know how to describe it.

Location:
Vista de la Luz – Casa O’s
Isla Mujeres

Is that a view or what?! Colleen and Hector conducted their wedding ceremony on one of those piers alongside the coastline!

I thought it was suitable to use a present box for my wedding ring shot. =)

I am always a sucker for red wedding shoes!

Ahhhh, the curlers. Getting ready for a wedding is serious business!

Here comes the bride! The pier was just large enough to fit all the wedding attendants…at least everyone got VIP seats. =P

After the wedding ceremony, a mariachi band serenaded Colleen and Hector while they walked back indoors for refreshments.

While the rest of the wedding party enjoyed cocktail hour, the couple snuck out for some sweet wedding pictures together!

These two really knew how to impress! Vista de la Luz of Isla Mujeres was a nice choice. Thank you for all the fond memories. I am grateful to have been your wedding photographer! The very next day, we photographed another wedding – Tiffany and Ly – at Cancun Casa Magna Marriott.

Best wishes,

Buenos Tardes from Mexico

Friday, December 19th, 2008

Howdy viewers,

What can I say? I love Mexico. What would be better? A wedding in Mexico!

We are already scheduled to photograph two Mexico weddings next year – Cancun and Isla Mujeres! If I could frequent that country more often, I will be the first to sign up.

Julie and I (Lawrence) are going to Mexico for a week for vacation. We will be on the Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) the entire time and making stops at Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta! While there, I will be seeking out some local wedding planners and coordinators for networking. Worry not folks, Doug will still be around to photograph the few weddings before the end of the year.

If you are interested in a destination wedding, please feel free to contact us for more details.

Just for fun, I was digging through some old photographs of us on vacation with some friends in Cancun, Mexico this summer. From left to right is Lawrence (me), Julie, and Raul (loco friend). Let the fun times roll…

See you all in one week,

Lawrence
