Zihuatanejo Mexico Destination Wedding Photography – Diana + Mark Part 1

I am sure you all remember Alice and I went to Zihuatanejo Mexcio to shoot a wedding during Thanksgiving. A while back we had put up couple of images to give you a taste of what it was like. Guess what? We are going to skip all weddings for now to showoff this one first! Rocio, the wedding coordinator at Casa del Arbo, loves the pictures so much she wanted to put them on the venue’s website and make us one of their preferred photographers. Since the retouching work is done, why not post it on the blog right? No worries though, we will go back to the weddings we skipped after this post.

Thanks to Cindi (our past bride) for referring Diana and Mark to us! And thanks to Diana and Mark for making such an awesome decision to get married at Casa del Arbo and taking us there! This place is paradise– it is located on the side of a mountain that looks down at Zihuatanjo Bay. Anyway, I am not a professional writer, not quite sure how to describe the place to do justice. Good thing we are professional photographers and can take a couple of good pictures, I will let the images speak for themselves.

Here is part 1 of the wedding. Come back for part 2 later!

Gorgeous gown. The view is so amazing from the balcony of the bride and groom’s suite!

Yellow is the main color for the wedding. Love this bouquet!

I went away for a second to see how Alice, Diana, and the girls were doing, this is what I came back to. It was hot, the guys were sweating like crazy. Mark kept his clothes on though. He probably knew that I would come back anytime. This is classic!

Mark has that nervous and happy smile on his face right before seeing Diana in her dress for the first time. First look is one of my favorite parts of a wedding. We recommend it to everyone of our couples! Why? Because we get to capture incredible moments like these for you!

They were soooooooo happy to see each other! It is probably the only time during the day a couple will get to have a little private moment to themselves. Nobody is watching them (well, except us :P ), they can really express their true selves.

We always get a super romantic shot like this since the couple would be so into each other at the moment :)

It was a warm day so all the guests had a buri palm fan.
