Derrell & Arlene: Cancun, Mexico | Destination Wedding Photographers

Posted on January 3, 2011

All of our bags were packed, Micah was spending the night at my house, and we were set to leave for the airport at 4:30 the next morning. In just a few hours we would be enjoying the sound of the lapping waves and the feel of the warm sun on our skin. Unfortunately, the trip to Mexico was not as pleasurable as we anticipated. I’ll save the details for another post, because it will be a long (and exciting!) one that includes the tales of overcoming fear, traveling with an illness, and other exciting news. Nontheless, by the time we finally got to Cancun, we were happy to be there to document Arlene & Derrell’s wedding.

Even though we had never met Arlene & Derrell before we got to Mexico, it wasn’t hard to fall in love with them. Honestly, just by the number of people at their wedding it was apparent that they have made an impact on a lot of people in a very positive way. The two of them were so fun to be around, so genuine, so caring. We were just honored to be there with them.

We started their morning off with Arlene and the girls in her family for a brunch and toast. Arlene was giddy with excitement and all of the girls shared in her joy. The room was filled with peace and we knew it was going to be a special day. The day included an unforgettable ceremony on the beach, a really long walk to the reception carrying all of our lighting equipment (because I got us lost in the resort… woops!), some amazing dance moves with the assistance of long, white balloons, and a whole lot of friends and family supporting Arlene and Derrell. It was SUCH a memorable day!

Oh, and don’t forget, we got to do a Day After Session with the two of them that next day! We can’t wait to share those pictures! For now, enjoy Arlene & Derrell’s Wedding Day!

Arlene was super organized. She had a binder with all the detials in different tabs with pictures and ideas for each one, plus the contracts and business info included. Amazing.

We found a friend. :)

Isn’t she stunning?

Arlene’s mom danced back down the aisle with excitment! So precious!

I had to grab this shot! It was so funny when I walked back to take a wide angle shot and saw all these cameras!

We thought this was so sweet. Since their grandmother couldn’t make it to the wedding, they brought a picture of her to make sure she was included! So sweet.

This is a moment we will never forget! Awesome. And confusing. But more awesome than anything.
