For Amy and Jimmy’s Wedding we went Down to Cabo San Lucas. You may have seen the Day After Shoot also called a Trash the Dress Shoot in this case.
I have to tell you how awesome the Riu Palace Hotel in Cabo is for weddings and wedding photography. Not only is it an all inclusive resort. They also have an infinity pool which is awesome and it looks right out to lovers beach and the tip of Cabo.
This was my first time to photograph a wedding in Cabo and my first time to Cabo all together so I was pretty excited. Because the Riu Palace is an all inclusive resort you could not even enter the property if you were not a guest so it made it a very different experience than a lot of places in Cabo or even Mexico. The location was a very relaxing environment where everything was taken care of which made it a great location for a wedding.
For the rehersal dinner we all packed into these vans that dropped us off at the pier where we loaded on to a boat for the rehersal dinner cruise. The cruise was beautiful and the food was great. It was a really nice way to have an intimate dinner with all your friends and family.
Amy and Jimmy decided that they wanted to see each other before the wedding ceremony so that they could take a ton of great pictures with their friends and family and really enjoy the time immediately following the ceremony. It was a flawless schedule and one that really allowed us to get a lot of great images on their wedding day. They had also decided to do a day after shoot so we knew we would have plenty of time with the couple on that day which really allowed us to stay focused on their family and friends all day.
Amy and Jimmy have so many amazing friends that there was no way they could have less than 11 bridesmaids and groomsmen on each side. After meeting each and every one of them I have to agree that a large wedding party was totally the way to go for them. I could not imagine being without any single one of these amazing people either. Each of them was truly special to the couple and you could see it.
The couple had a Greek Orthodox Wedding Ceremony and Jimmy’s cousin preformed the ceremony. It is the first time I have ever seen a greek orthodox ceremony preformed outside of a church and it was so cool! What an incredibly beautiful, traditional, and meaningful ceremony this was for them and their whole family and to have it in such a beautiful outdoor location just added to it. LOVE IT!
LOVE the infinity pool at the Rui Palace in Cabo!
This has to be one of the funniest wedding party shots I have ever done. All thanks to the enthusiasm of the group! Even the flower girl is into it! Can you tell they know what is coming?
Hands down the Rui Palace is one of my favorite new hot spots to get married. If you decide to get married there, just promise that you will take us with you! I would be a wedding photographer in Cabo San Lucus anytime. It is beautiful and warm and absolutely an incredible location for a wedding.
