Cozumel Wedding weekend
Mandi and Brian chose a destination that felt like a second home for their wedding weekend. Although they live in Denver, they’ve spent countless trips in Cozumel with their closest friends and family. It only felt right to return to this little slice of paradise, the place filled with so many memories to say their forever I do.

The morning of
Mandi and Brian spent their morning unwinding at their hotel just down the road from Buccanos. It was intentional, peaceful, and filled with a calm sweetness before the celebration began. We captured their detail photos there and shared in their first look in that quiet space, it was absolutely stunning.

The details
From mirrored ceremony stands with lush tropical greenery and coconuts marking each place, to the thoughtfully styled tables by the pool and a ceremony set right on the beach, every detail came together so effortlessly. It was truly perfect.
The Ceremony
The ceremony was incredibly sweet and thought out with so much detail and love. The officiant was a close family friend, the best man gave them their rings, close friends and family wrote poems for them, They lit candles together and everyone was so emotional.
Cocktail hour
As guests left the ceremony Mandi and Brian had left a tequila shot bar for all the guests to take before finding their seat. From there The guys shared cigars, the most incredible apps were passed around we got some iconic vogue moments of the gals by the pool. It was a great start to an exciting night celebrating!
Dinner & Speeches
The whole dinner was dark and romantic with sweet candle light, four incredible speeches and incredible food. Their friends and family even brought signs of their dog and cat since they weren't able to attend the wedding which made everyone laugh. I always strive to make the moment look how it felt. A mixture of film flash and no flash between these.
First Dance & Cake cutting
Mandi & Brian spent time doing lessons for their first dance before the wedding ( what a fun and special date night before leading up to the big day) They shared quiet moments sharing their cake as well which was so incredibly special
The dance party
When I tell you their friends know how to party. I mean It!!! Everyone was dancing, laughing and giving everything they had to that dance floor, a churro bar was brought in! And you're not going to want to miss how the couple and their guests decided to end the night as a big send of.
It hit midnight and everyone jumped in the pool
The most iconic and amazing thing I've photographed yet. Every guest as well as the couple jumped in the pool as the dj played their favorite songs. It felt like something straight out of a movie!!!!
