I am SO excited to finally have this wedding on the blog! Last month, I finally got my first destination wedding in the books. Cancun, Mexico... not a bad "first" if I do say so myself! It was such a blast, from start to finish. The resort (Excellence Playa Mujeres) was nothing short of amazing. The rooms were gorgeous, the service was incredible, and the scenery was a total paradise!
My best friend, Stephanie, is Kaitlyn's sister. We all lived together in college at Georgia Southern University, where Kaitlyn met Kris. After 6 years of dating, I was thrilled when they asked me to be part of their big day. The best part for me: my husband was able to tag along for the fun! We arrived on Thursday, and were greeted by wet towels, champagne, and "welcome goodie boxes" from Kait + Kris. They were so completely thoughtful down to the smallest details, and wanted to be sure that everyone had a top notch experience. We were able to spend some super fun, quality time together over the next few days, until it was time for the big day!
Wedding day was nothing short of amazing. Everything was picture perfect, and I was absolutely stoked to be photographing in Mexico - this is such a dream of mine (a newfound dream, but a dream nonetheless) - to be a travel/elopement/destination wedding photographer. Not to mention Kaitlyn and Kris made my job easy by looking like total supermodels!
Easy to say that this wedding officially has me hooked on destination weddings + elopements... This was the BEST experience! It was such an intimate setting where everyone truly got to enjoy each other's company. I am so grateful to have been part of this special time for these newlyweds, and wish them many, many years of happiness! Congratulations to The Greens!
