They flew us to Michigan to photograph their amazing wedding. Not only the destination wedding was one of a kind, they were the nicest people we’ve ever met. It was great spending almost two full days with everyone. By the end, we couldn’t help but feel like we were part of their family. Oh and the best part was we got to make a vacation out of it and Alice finally saw the world famous Niagara Falls for the first time. Here is the blog post about that trip.

Navreet’s family welcoming Vivian’s family.

They had a little ceremony in the house for the ring exchange.

They started the Mehndi shortly after while Navreet had the Vatna Ceremony in another room.

Little kids getting their own Menhdi too, cute!

Vatna Ceremony! This looks like torture to me, but everybody was having a good time with it!! Navreet has no choice though He needs to be “cleaned” before getting married!

At least the uncles were nice enough to help him rinse all that yellow clay off

Amazing!! Indian Weddings have the most extravagant accessories for the brides.

Navreet is getting his “makeup” done before the wedding ceremony.

While Navreet is riding on top of the horse like a king, everybody danced and paraded down the street letting the whole world know he is getting married! I love it!!

Love this shot of the moms!

Navreet has to give Vivian’s bridesmaids something, preferably money, before he can step inside for the ceremony.

Tossing rice over for good luck. This seems to be a common tradition for many cultures.

What a fun grand entrance to the reception!

Thank you for having us there Vivian and Navreet! We had an amazing time!!!

The patterns created by yellow and blue sand mixed together is awesome!!

We were so lucky that day to have that incredible sunset!

Incredible view of Zihuatanejo at night fall.

Lovely first dance.

They were trying to make a heart shape together…haha! Matt on the right is Cindi’s husband. I didn’t know he can be such a goofball!

That’s Stephen giving salsa lesson at the beginning of the party. He claims he’s not a pro…but he sure talked and danced like one!

Stephen is a great teacher. Everyone got the hang of it right away!!

Gorgeous looking couple!

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!

Gorgeous light coming through the windows while the guys were getting ready.

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!

Gorgeous yellow J.Crew Shoes!

All 6 hands of the 3 bridesmaids are in the shot. This is great!

What a sweet moment here with bridesmaids helping Diana put on her shoe! (FYI: the one on the far right is our Cindi!)

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 ), 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.

This awesome guitarist set the mood for the ceremony. Very classy!

A quite moment before the ceremony. Can you just feel how nervous she is right now?

Here comes our bride!

Such a sweet and fun couple!

Ceremony with a view overlooking Zihuatanejo Bay.

Be sure to come back for the 2nd part of this gorgeous wedding!

We are so glad Diana and Mark decided to do first look at the last minute. It is super romantic!!

A mini-session after the first-look before the ceremony. Aren’t they a gorgeous couple?

Day after session. Can you tell we really like that balcony?

Some fun shots at the beach. The sky was incredible that day!!

After the wedding we decided to give ourselves a treat and moved next door to another hotel. It’s called The Tides. It’s super relaxing because we get pampered by their excellent staff. It’s one of the best hotels in Zihuatanejo according to some online reviews.

BIG drink!! Cucumber, celery, apple, and spinach mixed together, it was yum and healthy!

Beautiful beach

A rough day in the paradise

Big thank you to Diana and Mark for inviting us to their beautiful wedding and awesome vacation. It will be a hard one to forget! We are coming back. Reality is waiting for us.
