Cabo San Lucas Destination Wedding : Samantha + Ismael's Epic Luxe Modern destination elopement in Baja California.
I can’t tell you how excited I was when I booked this elopement in Cabo I saved the date back in 2016!!, yes!! Tre years in the making and what a dream!. I love traveling and this location was so beautiful and different than Hawaii! I had so much fun photographing Samantha and Ismael’s Cabo Elopement, they were so loving and charming I will never forget Samantha’s first hug the warmest ever liker we were friend of 10 years!, I knew this was gonna be such an special crush!
The Bride’s details were some of the most beautiful I’ve seen, from the rings to her crown, to her amazing heels! I absolutely loved her dress, she looked elegant and the crown added the finishing touch! Ismael’s suit was the perfect match, maroon velvet looked amazing next to his bride’s beautiful lace gown. I love that these two chose every detail that made them happy, it was an intimate affair and I felt lucky to have been a part of it!
The ceremony was placed perfectly up on a cliff overlooking the ocean, in the resort El Pedregal. So fortunate that Destini brought to see such an amazing place. The water was unbelievably blue, I couldn’t handle how beautiful the scene was. After they said “I do” we explored the resort and took advantage of all the amazing scenery. The most beautiful cactus heaven and pastel colors It was my desert wonderland. It felt like we had the place to ourselves! They enjoyed a secluded dinner for two with an epic view that evening, congrats to Samantha and Ismael!!
Maui Wedding Photographer : Sunrise Bridal Couture inspiration at Beautiful Hawaiian beach.
Absolutely over the moon to share this drop gorgeous styled shoot curated to perfection by adorable Lucia of @utterlyengaged and an amazing group of artist for the #donnyzavalaworkshop I attended earlier this year. There's no words to describe how insanely beautiful was this sunrise shoot since minute one, Makapuu beach welcomed us with stunning pink skies that left us holding our breath to let the calm breeze of the ocean touch our skins, its was a truly beautiful experience to be surrounded with such amazing photographers and artist from so far away to capture this moment. I am a true believer that every wedding should be as epic as it can get and everything about this inspiration was just exquisite from the delicate flowing gown of Carol Hannah’s to the lovely craftsmanship of the floral designs of Catalina Neal I'm forever grateful for this day.
From Lucia | CREATIVE DIRECTOR & STYLIST Utterly Engaged :
“Like a wild flower; she spent her days, allowing herself to grow, not many knew of her struggle, but eventually all; knew of her light.” – Nikki Rowe
The entire shoot was concepted from these words. The Mood: raw, overgrowth, abundant, magical, imperfect, discovery. The Color Story: dusty mauve, corals, lilac, fern, charcoal. From there the entire shoot becomes a journey of discovery. With open hands, and surrendering to the creative process, everything falls into place in a raw and organic manner that is more beautiful than I could ever imagine.
