Destination weddings are so much fun. Not only is it fun to be able to go and shoot somewhere unique and different than the norm, but destination weddings are so so so intimate. And I looooove that. Travis and Lyndsey invited me to be a part of their beautiful wedding in Cabo, Mexico about a year ago and I have been itching to shoot it ever since. This was my first time to Cabo and I had always heard amazing things about it. (It’s where our very own Courtney Davis was married!) It definitely did not disappoint. Cabo was different than the other beachy locations I have been to in that it’s in a very dry climate. It only rains like 5 days a year, so the weather is not humid AT ALL and it feels AMAZING, like always in the 70s. AWESOME. It reminded me of California weather… ya know, just perfection. Siiiigh. I loved it. Cabo is definitely a beautiful place to visit or have a wedding – I highly recommend it.
Now that I am done praising Cabo, let’s get to the good stuff. It is ALWAYS such an enormous honor when any of my clients hire me to shoot their wedding, but add in the blessing of being flown to another location for a wedding… well, that just blows my mind. Sometimes I really do have to pinch myself and make sure I am not dreaming. I have said it a thousand times, but I feel SO TREMENDOUSLY blessed to have the best clients in the world. I refuse to ever take any of them for granted. They each bring so much joy into my life to be able to do what I absolutely love and am so passionate about. It was so amazing to be a part of this incredible wedding between Lyndsey and Travis and I really hope you enjoy looking through a glimpse of their day. By the way, you can see their engagement photos here.
Lynds and Travis – words could never express how grateful I am to have been able to be a part of this amazing and beautiful adventure of yours. Thank you. xoxo
The wedding was held at the BEAUTIFUL Cabo Del Sol with event planning by Karla Casillas. I seriously absolutely LOVED this venue and it’s location. Perfection.
Travis and Lyndsey opted to do a “First Look”. Even though a destination wedding is more laid back, it’s still the best idea to do a First Look to have that intimate moment together and also to be able to take care of all the formal group portraits ahead of time.
This may be the cutest brother & sister I have ever seen.
Here comes the bride!
Perfection.
Two priceless moments: 1. The minister realizing he called Lyndsey “Courtney” during the ceremony. OMG! 2. Their first kiss as husband and wife!
Married!
A photo of everyone who made the trip for Lyndsey and Travis to witness their memorable day.
An emotional moment between Travis, Lynds and Travis’ sister. See, a couple of days before everyone left for Cabo, Travis’ mother broke her leg. : ( She along with his stepfather were not able to go to Cabo for the wedding because of possible blood clotting from flying. SO AWFUL!!! Could you imagine your parents not being able to attend your wedding? I felt so much for them. : (
I pretty much LOVE every single one of the following set of photos with Lyndsey and Travis.
Deirdre got this beautiful shot! Love.
First dance!
Father/Daughter dance along with Grandmother/Son dance. (Travis’ grandmother stepped in for his mom.)
Then Travis’ sister took a moment to dance with him. So sweet!
Then after all the tears had been shed, toasts had been made and dinner had been served… it was time to PARTY!
DO THE BERNIE MAC. Hahahaha! That dance CRACKS ME UP.
I will end this post with a sneak peek of their Trash the Dress shoot, coming tomorrow!!!! You’ll get to hear all about our dangerous adventure getting to this location!
