Michelle and Dave’s gorgeous wedding just might go down in history as one of the sweetest days ever. All bright colors and stunning ocean views, they took their five-year engagement and made it official at Dreams Tulum Resort & Spa with just their super cute daughter and their talented photog and coordinator, Melissa Mercado, at their side. It was a day that was all about the LOVE, and we can’t get enough of every heartfelt moment.
From Melissa Mercado Photography… Michelle and Dave had been engaged for five years when the time was finally right to say “I do.” They had planned a vacation to one of their favorite corners of Mexico – Tulum. Michelle told me this about her original ideas: “We have always wanted something simple. We would like to make our marriage official and celebrate our vows with our daughter in a place we love before we start the next chapter of our life. We really want something simple on the beach, a symbolic ceremony that we can say our vows to each other.”
I offer Elopement Packages that include the ceremony, an officiant, flowers, champagne and, of course, the photography! They’re intimate ceremonies that I tailor to my clients’ desires. We arrange a time and location and then see what magic the universe brings us! We had to change last minute, as the weather wasn’t going to cooperate for a late afternoon affair. But it worked out amazingly as we got to witness an amazing sunrise and felt the universe really blessed this union in all of it’s gorgeous splendor.
I loved Michelle’s desire to have Avery, their 4-year-old daughter, be such an integral part of her day. I loved her flower choices, and love even more that their beautiful family of four was all present on this day (she was a few months pregnant when they said “I do!”).
