There is no place I would rather photograph than right here in Merida, Yucatan. When I began shooting weddings Merida was no where near being on the map as a destination. Photographing adventurous couples who made the trip was was right up my ally. Local friends would be so surprised when I told them that people where coming from another country to be married in Yucatan.

Fast forward to 2021 and Merida's haciendas are some of the hottest locations for upcoming destination weddings. We have an unbelievable variety of incredible venues, including Houston couple Kris and Andy's, the amazing Hacienda San Diego Cutz. Kris and Andy and their group were the perfect example of a destination wedding party. super fun people, who really enjoyed all the excitement of a Mexico destination wedding. Scroll down for party photos and I'm sure you will agree!

An evening outdoor ceremony is not very common and somewhat a challenge to photograph. However I thing it can be a really good option for a Merida wedding. It cools off here at sunset and even on hot days the evenings in Merida are always very pleasant. I love shooting at favorite, familiar venues like San Diego Cutz, because of all the hidden photo spots. Knowing where the best light is at different times lets us capture some amazing natural lighting! And of course way too many photos for a blog post!

Kris and Andy, thank you so much for being an absolutely awesome couple. I hope to see you back in Merida in the future! PS- Planning a destination wedding in Merida? Here are links to some of Kris and Andy's recommended vendors:
