Playa Del Carmen, Mexico Wedding - Part 3

Hello to all out there in cyber space.  I wanted to stop in and say "NO I DID NOT FALL OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH".  I am sad to say it has been a month since my last post.  Shame on me.  It has been a whirlwind of a month with all the holidays.  We are back and on to wonderful things in 2012.

I am going to try to catch up and bring you many yummy engagement sessions and weddings.  So many to share.

Today, however, I am bringing you part 3 of our fabulous wedding in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico.  We stayed at the Royal Playa Del Carmen.  I would highly recommend this location.  Just beautiful and full of so many extras.

This story starts with the day after the wedding.  Traci and Michael were troopers and as you will see have some amazing photos to share.  You can not imagine how hard it was to edit down to just a few.

The colors of the ocean and sky couldn't have been clearer or bluer.  It was as if God painted the sky just
 for us  to create such magnificence.

Do any of you just love to laugh at life.  We do.  So as we are photographing this
beautiful scene, a local man starts walking our way.  He sees us...but no
matter.  His towel is over here by us.  So of coarse we continue photographing
and Traci and Mike do not break character.  So awesome.  He wasn't
apologetic at all.  Just matter of fact and went along his way.  LOL

No words needed......Just breathe and enjoy.

If you know anything about my husband-Jon you know he has a passion for petroglyphs and ancient
 ruins.  So knowing he was going to Playa del Carmen and knowing that the Mayans once lived there,
 well this man (little boy) was in his candy store.  He researched and found
some amazing hidden ruins. 

We were also able to visit Tulum Mayan Ruins in Tulum, Mexico. Since
White dresses are prohibited on this federal property we treated it
more like an engagement session.  The sights were majestic and
unbelievable.  The scale and beauty was breath taking.

There were many locals making there presence known.  Hello big fella.

We spent an afternoon snorkeling and playing on the beach.  Traci and Mike had their own personal
paparazzi for a few days.  Oh, but no complaining from us.

Thank you for sharing this dream wedding with us.  Remember we travel internationally and
would love to capture your dream wedding.

Playa Del Carmen, Mexico Wedding. Destinations - I say Yes.

I think all little girls plan their dream wedding from a very early age.  Traci was no exception and she did. 

I think as photographers we dream of photographing such an event and we did.

Guest were sent invitations only fitting of such a wedding on the beach.

This dream wedding took place at Playa Del Carmen, Mexico.

When each guest arrived to the Royal Playa Del Carmen,  we were treated with a beverage of our choice and a warm wash cloth to wash away our travels and leave life behind us. 

This special weekend will be a 3 part wedding special blog.  Today we start with a beach day and rehearsal. 

But first...............the View.

As I mentioned we hung out with Traci and Michael with their guests at the beach.  Nothin but sun, fun, water and oh yes, the sand.  Michael the groom is the middle head.


































The girls havin a little fun.

The whole gang.













I think this was the dolphin impression.













Alright, I know this is a family blog....but this guy kept walking by us and well, just had to grab a shot.  Believe me the leaving side was a much better picture than arriving side.  Gewwwwww.  (not one of Traci/Mikes's guest)  LOL















Once all the fun was done, it was time to retreat to our rooms to freshen up and get ready to go to the rehearsal dinner.   The Royal was a  top notch resort.  Our rooms were immaculate, beautiful and well stocked.

Each day we arrived back we were gifted with a beautiful towel sculpture.

And when I say well stocked, I mean it was well stocked and refillable.  Can you say "Holy Booze"

Dressed to the Nines, we are off to the rehearsal dinner at Asiana Restaurant.  One of the aprox 15 restaurants included in this all inclusive resort.  Sushi = Yumm!!!

Presentation of all food and drinks were amazing.  Here is just a few.

Ahhhh what a day.  And this was just the first one.  But we are not finished.  When we got back to our room and went out on the balcony were surprised with Fire dancers on the grounds below.

What a sight, what a treat......just Heaven!!!
