The ceremony was magical and captivating, performed by a Shaman, they said their vows under the natural canopy of Mexico.
For added glamour, there were disco balls added to contrast with the more natural decorations such as candles and lanterns.

It will mean that your wedding will include everything you could possibly want, and even more such as aspects of the local culture, which is important to acknowledge when getting married abroad. It is important to try and get to the destination of your wedding before the big day, to try the food and drinks as well as to see the venue and check everything is in order! You can also meet your photographer and schedule the shoot to make sure what they offer is what you want on your wedding day.
