We recently had the opportunity to photograph Tonia and Matt's destination wedding in Cancun, Mexico at the Moon Palace Resort.  Our little adventure started off on a Thursday morning when we flew out with the majority of the guests.  For destination events, we like to fly out a day ahead of the scheduled activities just in case there are issues with flights, etc.  Luckily everything ran smooth, and it was nice to meet a lot of the people that were going to be attending the wedding.  As we were preparing for the trip, they were forecasting rain for just about every day we were going to be there; however, we ended up being blessed with unbelievable weather. 

Tonia and Matt had a beautiful ceremony on the beach about an hour before sunset, followed by dinner with their closest family and friends.  Despite daylights savings playing a cruel joke and happening on the day of the wedding, we were still able to get some beautiful images with the glorious golden light we love so much. 

The following day, we took the newlyweds to a town inland within the Yucatan Peninsula by the name of Valladolid.  Despite a bit of a drive, an encounter with a bus full of happy Italians, and issues with 18 inch curbs, Tonia and Matt made this place sizzle! 

We would like to thank them both, and all of their guests for such a fun weekend.  We are always honored and humbled to be asked to shoot someones wedding, but this feeling seems to be heightened slightly when you are asked to travel with the couple and the people closest to them to capture their wedding!  Not to mention, it is always a nice treat for us, as minneapolis wedding photographers, to get out of Minnesota during late fall and enjoy a little sunshine!  We had such a great time, and can't wait for you to see the rest of the images.  In the meantime, be sure to check out some of the highlights below, and don't forget the SLIDESHOW from the weekend!!!
