Destination Wedding Photography – Married in Mexico – Richard and Andrea pt. 3
Written by Sean McLellan
We had so much fun with this shoot--Richard & Andrea were up for anything, and then some. And then some more. Check out our super cool bride & groom
To the jungle!
The sky, the light, the amazingly clear blue water... all came together perfectly for shooting in the ocean
Who knew wedding photography was dangerous? Here I am, cheating death shooting from above
The resulting shot
Then we headed to a cenote, which is essentially an underground cave that is connected to a subterranean water body. Yeah, I'm thinking it too--way cool.
After shooting in there for about an hour, I realized that this particular cenote is home to lots of bats. Luckily, they minded their own bat-business as we continued to shoot and shoot and shoot.
I am surprised this actually worked
I knew exactly what I was doing, and was sure this would turn out
I couldn't resist. It's just what happens when you point a camera at me.
Aqua Blue Steel
As much fun as we were having above, it turns out it was even more interesting underwater
I love the way the light brought out the colour. (Which is slightly more colourful than color)
Thank you so much, again, Richard & Andrea!--there are TONS more that we can't wait to share with you!
Destination Wedding Photographers – Married in Mexico – Richard and Andrea pt. 2
Written by Sean McLellan
I knew from the first time Richard called us that he and Andrea were going to be an amazingly fun couple. Richard is a filmmaker in Southern California, and was filled with all sorts of great ideas for setting up their wedding with how everything might translate to imagery in mind. And better yet, he let us know right from the start that they loved our style and would like to let us have free reign to do our thing once that tone was set. On top of all that, Richard was born in South Africa and has a killer accent. As if that wasn't enough, I don't think it would even be possible to take a bad photo of Andrea if we tried. Good news! For those of you that are used to our one image posts, prepare! You're about to go into image-overload-shock. Thanks to our new ring shot lens:
The gorgeous Andrea
getting ready, vintage style
And the dashing Mr. Berman
(That's "Burhhman" for those of you reading this south-african-accent-style)
I love the looks on their faces in these shots of them seeing each other for the first time
The guys - Richard and his brothers
The gals
Check out this suhweet couch chair thing we found
And check out this suhweet... umm, everything in sight that we found.
The chuppah was made out of Andrea's mothers' wedding dress--that's going to be an amazing heirloom to pass down
stuff to eat.
clever caption, I know, right?
art.
(that you eat!)
signing the Ketubah
WOW there were a lot of people in that tiny room.
the bedeken
Their ceremony had to take place 42 minutes after sunset--but no worries... as filmmaker Richard said "there will be light"
And did we mention? Fireworks!
They tangoed to Gotan Project!
I TOLD you they were a great match for us!
Sean << Gotan Project fiend
Did this group know how to partay--or did they know how to partay?
the answer is clear.
Thank you so much for everything, Richard & Andrea! We had a great time with you, and miss you already.
... but wait?? there's more?? Stay tuned for part 3.
All I'll say at the moment is that 8 days ago, Mel and I were back with the adventurous couple...
in an underwater bat cave.

Wow! It has been quite a couple of months! I feel like there are not many airlines we've not been friendly with lately and it's so good to be home! I'm going through Andrea and Richard's wedding right now and there are so many great ones that I'm having the hardest time narrowing them down for a blog post! So that you won't have to wait any longer, here's one of my favorites to tide you over until I can get the rest up! :o)
