COREY & SARAH BARCELO MAYA PALACE MEXICO Part One| DESTINATION WEDDING

To say that I was excited to document this wedding would have been an understatement, what could be better then photographing a beautiful couple in an amazing location?  It was back in January when I received a phone call from Austin Texas where Sarah and Corey live asking if I would be interested in coming to Playa del Carmen to be their wedding photographer, after a few emails and phone calls the details were set and I would be Mexico bound just ten days after coming back from my amazing European wedding adventure. I arrived at the Barcelo Maya Palace at around 10pm on Tuesday and was greeted by my good friend and second shooter Fran Chelico, as she filled me in about how amazing the resort was my anticipation grew. The next morning when I woke up in paradise and explored a bit I realized there would be no shortage of spectacular locations to photograph the wedding. Corey and Sarah had a large wedding by destination standards an impressive 37 people, which is a true testament to how much they are loved by all their family and friends. Thank you to all your friends and family for making us feel so welcome!  Sarah you are the most easygoing person I think I’ve ever met and Corey you are hysterical, together you make an amazing couple who’s love is clear just by the way you interact with each other. Im truly blessed to have the most amazing job in the world.
