This was a spectacular wedding and such a fun time! Nicole & Brian got married at the beautiful El Dorado Royale Resort in the Riviera Maya on November 8, 2014. Destination weddings are always a good time, and are always a blast to shoot, but this one stood out. Kim and I had visited this resort back in March, so needless to say, we were very excited about Nicole & Brian’s wedding in the fall. We had a chance to explore the location long before the wedding, so I knew what I wanted to do for their wedding day portraits. Although you can’t fully plan for certain images that far in advance, I had a good understanding of the resort grounds, and where the best areas to shoot are. The El Dorado Royale is a massive place, and I was very happy that I had a chance to scope it out in advance. One of the plus sides to shooting destination weddings, is that it is a mini vacation for me. The majority of my weddings and shoots take place in central Texas, so when these events present themselves, I jump to the opportunity. I am a portrait junkie, and beaches make the perfect backdrop for wedding photos. The first shot in this series in a two-image flash composite, that we got right after the ceremony. I was thrilled with the way it turned out, and I think that it is the perfect shot to show off this awesome wedding. There are a handful of gorgeous wedding portraits of Nicole & Brian about mid way down, so make sure and check them out. I would like to thank my lovely wife Kim for helping me out with this wedding, and I am excited to share the photos with you. Enjoy the post, and feel free to share these images with your friends and family. Congrats to Nicole & Brian!
