Secrets Bahia Mita Wedding

A little over 10 years ago, we had the pleasure of photographing a wedding in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. The bride was a friend of mine from high school and the three days we spent with her and her husband (and their families) were an absolute blast. Fast forward to August of this year, I had an overwhelming (and much needed) feeling of déjà vu at Mallori and Jason’s Secrets Bahia Mita wedding!

The first time we met the bride- and groom-to-be in person, it was while we were all drinking cocktails in the pool overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Not too shabby. Since we always aim to arrive at least two days early for destination weddings, we had plenty of time to decompress, swim, drink, location scout, and play a bit of beach volleyball before the wedding festivities.

The party raged on over the next three days. Despite the heat, and the humidity, and the eventual rain, the crew persevered like champions. At one point just after dinner, we asked Mallori if they were going to move the party indoors and out of the rain. To which she replied, “No, we’re partying out here all night!” Now that is the spirit!

If you ever hear me or Moira complaining about our job in the future, please put us back in line by reminding us of this wedding and how lucky we were to have experienced it. The entire day (and week) was just pure joy and revelry from start to finish.

Mallori and Jason, thank you a million times for trusting us to photograph your Secrets Bahia Mita wedding. Any time you want to hit the pool bar in the future, we’ll be there in a heartbeat. Salud, amigos!
