This couple really wanted sunset photos on the beach, but the sun set on the other side of this resort, so we made it work for them with golden hour.

Akumal Bay Beach and Wellness Resort is to this day still one of my favourite Mexico destination wedding locations. The staff was incredible, the property was intimate and cozy with great service and food and the outdoor space for weddings was stunning. This Mexico wedding venue had the best luxurious decor i've seen in a long time at a destination wedding.

This photo was taken at the back of the property as I was looking for uninterrupted locations for portraits in hopes that we wouldn't be seen by any guests. I found this incredible light on the staff service path.

don't forget to head to the rooftop deck

The hallways at this resort have beautiful light and the elevators make great reflection images for single portraits or creative wedding party photos.
