Caitlin + Lindsay | Cancun, Mexico Destination Wedding

After shooting her sister’s wedding in 2019, Caitlin reached out to me to get more details about shooting their destination wedding in Cancun, mexico. Destination weddings are always such an exciting adventure for everyone involved and I love the opportunity to travel the world!

The wedding took place at the El dorado royale resort by karisma, with 75 of Caitlin and lindsay’s closest friends. As a fellow LGBT+ vendor, lgbt weddings strike a special place in my heart and I understand firsthand the unique challenges that come with a queer wedding. protecting the two brides’ experience and making sure everything was as supportive and inclusive as possible are always my top priority.

after caitlin and lindsay finished getting ready, we had a blast with a wedding portrait session at the resort on the way to the wedding ceremony. afterwards, a beautiful outdoor cocktail hour followed by a breezy outdoor reception. We ended the night by having the brides jump in the pool, surrounded by their family and friends. What a night it was!

A big thank you to caitlin and lindsay for writing a 5/5 review on weddingwire. Even after over 100 5 star reviews on weddingwire, these kind words mean the world to me. Thank you so much, caitlin and lindsay!

“Tyler photographed our destination wedding in Cancun, Mexico and was an absolute DREAM to work with, we could not recommend him more highly.

We were fortunate to discover Tyler when he was the photographer for our friend’s wedding. His charming personality really stuck out and we were very impressed with how organized he was; he clearly put together a detailed game plan for the evening so the bride and groom could spend less time posing and more time celebrating with their loved ones. After seeing the astounding quality and style of his images from that night, our mind was blown, and we knew we wanted him for our wedding as well.

As an LQBTQ couple, you never know what to expect when approaching a wedding vendor about your wedding. It can be nerve-racking, but Tyler could not have been more naturally considerate and inclusive. Small but impactful touches that most people would never notice, like not using Pronouns in the photography contract and offering us a ton of ideas for non-traditional poses vs. traditional ones made all the difference to us. Not to mention he is a master of his craft and experienced with ALL things wedding photography, he has literally seen it all. He guides you through the entire process from start to finish so its one less thing to stress about before the wedding, trust me, this is huge.

No matter what style of image you are looking for, he will listen to your vision and make it happen. My fiancé (now wife) and I told him we wanted two completely different styles. I prefer candid/relaxed photos and she prefers a more timeless/portrait style of photo. I have no idea how he did it, but he mixed our styles perfectly.

Not only did he get the style perfect (lighting, poses, background, etc.), but we both looked stunning. My wife always looks great in photos but I’m a completely different story, awkward is an understatement. I have never been comfortable in front of a camera and I can’t think of a time before Tyler that I truly liked how I looked in a photo. By some miracle, and a little bit of coaching, Tyler managed to make me relax and was able to naturally capture the most candid and intimate moments without making me feel self- conscious whatsoever, and I even liked how I looked!

Tyler is also willing to do anything to get “the shot”! My wife managed to talk me into jumping in a pool post-reception, dresses and all. Tyler was fully onboard with capturing the moment and was the first one in the pool.

The icing on the cake is that he sent us our “preview” album the day after our wedding, so we had some photos to share almost immediately! The final gallery came back very quickly as well.
Tyler’s passion for perfectly capturing and preserving these incredible moments shows through in the final product. You will not regret hiring him as your photographer. He goes above and beyond and his work speaks for itself. We will treasure these photos forever.”
