The story

Pamela & Josh are one of those couples you want to be friends with. They are absolutely adorable inside & outside. Pamela is Mexican and Josh from The States and they have been together for 8 years. Pamela contacted me in January 2016, more than two years prior their wedding. They had a long 3 year engagement. Perfect for a couple like them, that likes to do things right and at their own pace. I met them on their first visit to the area to explore venues and Iimmediately fell in love with them.

They are two of the smartest and kindest souls we have photographed. Magaly & Javi, one of our former couples, who also had an espectacular Xcaret wedding, recommended us so we knew we were going to be a great match.    Their families were incredibly welcoming since day one, when we joined their rehearsal at the Chapel of Guadalupe at Xcaret Park. On day two we had the chance to spend most of the day with them. They hired us for a full wedding coverage therefor we got to capture all the beautiful and real moments around the celebration.

Pamela & Josh did an extensive research on the different Mexico wedding resorts options to stay for their wedding weekend. Secrets Capri was their final choice and it was perfect for their Mexico destination wedding.

The wedding was held at Xcaret Park and they got ready at Secrets Capri. The gorgeous wedding gown is from Ines Di Santo, The decoration and flowers were made by Corazon Luxury Weddings and Video film by Gallardo Films.

The award winning images by This is Reportage

“This is Reportage” is an international photography association created in the UK destined to celebrate moments and real scenes at weddings. The association showcase is totally focused on photojournalism applied to weddings, nothing is posed or staged. Above all, they celebrate photographers letting life happen. We recently joined the association and now are proud to present our first Wedding Story awarded. We submitted 20 images from Pamela & Josh’s wedding. All of the images are real moments, candid situations creatively captured and we are extremely proud of them, because we know these photos are a treasure for these two beautiful families.

From all the Mexico wedding venues, we believe Xcaret is one of the most spectacular ones. One of the main reasons is the beautiful Chapel of Guadalupe for Catholic Ceremonies.

Xcaret Weddings

Tamara and I have been a Cancun wedding Photographer s since 2016. We have loved every single wedding at this venue. Xcaret Park  is like a mini paradise. You have everything you need there for a fun day! It has more than 50 natural and cultural attractions to live many Mexican experiences. You can find many aquatic activities. For instance, floating your way through the underground river, swimming on the beach or snorkeling in the caletas. You can visit the aquarium, the aviary, the Butterfly pavillion, the Orchids garden and the many little islands with deers or jaguars. It has many spots with incredible real Mayan ruins. Awesome restaurants with Mexican options. And our most favorite activity, the night show, the Xcaret México Espectacular presentation. It is one of the best shows we have seen, it makes us feel proud of our country.

For your Xcaret wedding, their team is amazing. They are on it! They will make everything happen within schedule and make sure your day is as you always dreamed. The different locations make it extra exciting. Two different Chapels for Catholic ceremony mass, gorgeous areas for legal weddings and La Isla, La Hacienda, the Beach or an amazing new ballroom for an spectacular wedding reception.
