Live Aqua Cancun witnessed Jena and Mike´s engagement while their vacations in the Cancun hotel zone.
These two were amazing, it felt like they knew exactly how to pose and what to do despite they saying they didn´t have a clue on how to be in front of the camera.
The interesting part was that they were so relaxed and having fun that everything just went with the flow.
Azul Fives is today´s venue for a lovely family shoot, The Agrawal´s came as guests for some cousin´s wedding happening in this lovely resort.
We´ve met at the lobby, since that moment it felt like we´ve known each other for a long time.
We walked all over the area stoping and shooting in any nice spot we saw.
One day I received Marco´s call asking me for my proposal shoot services at Mia Reef in Isla Mujeres, we started talking and immediately we were planning the surprise proposal. Firstly he wanted to propose in Holbox, however, he decided to move it to Isla Mujeres.
He came with the idea of telling Silvana I was one of his friend´s sister and being a photographer myself it could be a good idea to have a photoshoot on the island.
Everything was planned pretty well, but the day of the shoot she started to feel so bad from her stomach, so she asked him to cancel the photoshoot, he said it was impossible because I was almost arriving, so sick as she was feeling she did her makeup and got dressed.
Marcos introduced us and we started the shooting, everything was working, so I took them to the King´s Pool, a very special and intimate place at Mia Reef hotel, and that´s where everything was going to happen.
I told them to go to the end of the path, asked her to run around, and waited for my call to turn back and then hug Marco, she never got a clue that Marco was going to be down on his knee by the time she turned around, so that happened, she got speechless, then the mariachi appeared and the rest was magic!
I went to New York to meet Xylina and Gabriel at Central Park, it was my first time in this big city.
We walked all through Central park finding beautiful spots to take pictures, Xylina and Gabriel even brought little Jax, their chihuahua for some pictures with him.
It was their photoshoot with me, we had so much fun together, I love when people trust in my vision and being able to bring that vision to other places than the beach.
Once again I returned to Dreams Playa Mujeres resort to capture Sky and Ian´s wedding.
I´ve met them a year before their wedding, they had come to Cancun to do some sightseeing, they decided to have a photoshoot, so Sky booked me through flytographer.
That´s when I´ve met them for the first time, I took them to Playa Delfines to have their photos taken for an engagement shoot, we had a fun time together.
A few months later Sky contacted me and asked me to be their wedding photographer, I was so happy, immediately I said yes, I knew it was going to be spectacular!
The day happened and I arrived at Dream Playa Mujeres, first I went to Ian’s room for his getting ready photos and then to Sky´s room it felt like seeing again old friends.
The day went beautifully, they were surrounded by their loved ones, a very intimate wedding but full of energy.
This was a very special Finest Playa Mujeres wedding and I could not be more excited to share it with you! We spend 1 night at finest to shoot a complete wedding, including welcome dinner.
Xylina and Gabriel have made me feel like family, I feel them the same way as well, I felt so happy when everyone from their family approached telling me how much this couple appreciates me, can´t thank them enough for their friendship and trust in my work.

Under the Caribbean sun and the best beach view as the backdrop Finest Playa Mujeres, Xylina and Gabriel said, “I do” to a chorus of cheers, The bride and her bridesmaids threw their bouquets into the sky, and the groom was even lifted up by the groomsmen! I did have an amazing time with them.
As the sun dipped low in the sky, and a romantic glow lit the ocean, I strolled by the water with Xylina and Gabriel for a quiet moment alone to take their bridal portraits. These two
Look so great together, I´ve met them a year before at NYC for their engagement pictures, so they already knew what to do to get the best out of them.
Something that defined this wedding was the slow-motion aspect since NYC they have allowed my creativity to run freely, I´m so thankful for that.
At the reception, they brought out their unique salsa moves into a special dance they had prepared previously. Every moment was filled with joy and laughter, and I’m so grateful I had the opportunity to capture their sweet memories. Check some of my favorites Finest Playa Mujeres wedding pictures below!
