Orieta+Jay=Awesome | Baja Wedding Photographers


Baja Wedding Photographers

Wind-blown sand dunes, a decadent private
villa, the intimate luxury of Capella Pedregal - Orieta & Jay's Cabo destination wedding had it all! The Calgary couple were up for anything, and it was fun trekking out to some new desert locations to capture the spirit of Baja in their wedding photos. Some of our favorites from their day...

My fav is image below on the right - can't beat a real smile at your husband-to-be!





Chris' favorite.






A little wilderness adventure - as I always say, if your wedding dress gets a little dusty, it means you had fun on your wedding day!










Back at Capella, a good luck kiss from her daughter before walking down the aisle.








Married!





Congrats to Orieta & Jay and hope to see you wild westerners in Calgary soon!

Emily+Gabriel=Devotion | Mexico Hacienda Wedding



Mexico Destination Wedding Photographers

There are some couples who just remind you of how beautiful love is! The devotion of Emily and Gabriel, and the love of their families surrounding them truly inspired us. Their Mexico destination wedding was one day after our own anniversary, and we felt so lucky to join in such a special celebration of love & commitment.

Emily & Gabriel got married at what must be one of the most romantic locations in the Cuernavaca area: her uncle Paulino's four-hundred-year-old Hacienda. Hotel Hacienda Cocoyoc is just an hour south of Mexico City but walking onto the grounds of the former sugar mill feels like you are walking back in time. The hotel grounds include acres of lush gardens, an intimate chapel, and the remains of old ruins. It was the perfect setting for a perfect day. Some of our favorites...







Emily is such a beautiful bride getting ready in this sunlit room with her sisters and mother.

One of my favorite First Looks ever.



























Some classic family portraits - so important.







Elegant evening ceremony in one of the Hacienda gardens.







Married!

Mexico-style celebrations!



Congratulations, Emily + Gabe!
