Laura + Greg at The Royal, Playa del Carmen, Riviera Maya

Sam — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 03:53:51 +0000

Laura and Greg chose the beautiful The Royal to have their wedding. The Royal is right at the heart of Playa Del Carmen, and it’s a very popular venue for destination weddings. Laura and Greg make an adorable couple, funny and relaxed. For dinner, I got to seat at the “party animals” table. It was quite an experience! The morning after the ceremony we took a walk on the beach, and then went downtown for more pictures. Thanks guys, you really made me feel welcome.

Charlotte + Kyle, Iberostar Paraiso, Riviera Maya

Sam — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 23:58:26 +0000

Charlotte and Kyle got married in the massive and beautiful Iberostar Paraiso Riviera Maya. The whole day was just magic, with a nice fresh breeze, a very ligth rain, and a cajun style restaurant for the reception. BUT, what i enjoyed the most was these guys’ ability to look amazing on camera, just check out their portraits! Great job guys!

Jennifer and Dan – Hacienda de Cortés, Cuernavaca, Mexico.

Sam — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 15:41:16 +0000

I don’t even know how to begin describing how incredible this wedding was to me. Dan and Jennifer are just amazingly kind, Dan is the best host ever, he took care of everything food-related, showing great skills in the cooking department, and even visited my table making sure everything was ok. For their wedding they picked the really old and beautiful Hacienda de Cortés in Cuernavaca. The reception had this cozy and intimate feeling, and i heard some of the most heartfelt speaches. Guys, you really made me feel like family, i’m forever in your debt. Thanks for an incredible experience! I have never done a full monochromatic postprocessing on a wedding before, and it was great! Ok, onto the good stuff…

Karina and Arturo in Juriquilla, Queretaro, Mexico

Sam — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 00:06:57 +0000

Karina is tiny, energetic, and has a lovely smile. Arturo is relaxed and easygoing. That combo, plus Juriquilla, just made a dream wedding. This wedding had outstanding details, for instance, their lazo was one of the most interesting i have seen. This was the second time i shot two weddings in one day, and while the experience is nothing short of amazing, i really don’t recommend doing it, unless you have a whole week to recover… BTW, the chef at Juriquilla makes the most unvelievably tasty chicken burgers… Onto the pictures:

Hazel and Jonathan in Danzalagua, Mexico City

Sam — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 20:13:41 +0000

Hazel and Jonathan got married in the beautiful little porfirian-age church of El Niño de La Paz, right in the middle of the Zona Rosa area in Mexico City. These guys were really fun to work with, they were goofing around and laughing the whole time. After the ceremony we walked around in Reforma Ave. for some portraits, and then moved way up north in Mexico City to the Danzalagua venue for the reception. Danzalagua is a very nice place, even for portraits (we took a couple more over there). Jonathan’s dad changed into a cooler outfit, and played with the band for the B&G! That was great. I posted a couple of pics from their e-session, too.

Arturo and Cristina in Polanco

Sam — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 18:54:33 +0000

These two are some of the coolest couples i have worked for. They are fun, laid back, and have amazing careers. They got married in the awe-inspiring San Ignacio church, in Polanco. At the reception they surprised everybody with a great coreography. Just after the wedding, they moved to the shores of Lake Geneva. I envy you guys

As you can see, these two really CAN DANCE. I really enjoyed this wedding, thanks guys!
