Samantha and Robs wedding was at the One and Only Palmilla located in Los Cabos Mexico. The One and Only is considered Mexico’s premier resort. Its known for its high end weddings and celebrity clients. Rob and Samantha chose to have an intimate wedding for 2 and it was perfect. They really did it right and completely enjoyed each other and every minute of their wedding. The wedding was coordinated by Martha Huerta and it went like clock work. Alec and I had a great time the shoot seemed to go by so fast. Congrats Sam and Rob!!!

Shana and Ben’s destination wedding took place at Fiesta Americana resort located in Cabo Mexico. This post is very easy for me to write. A million great things are going through my head about this bride and groom. I will quote the wedding planner, April from Baja weddings ” The greatest family I have ever worked with..I LOVE THEM ALL”
I think that sums it up, but I will add a few things. Ben the groom never stopped smiling the entire day, every time he looked at Shana his eyes would sparkle..I’m not kidding.. he was a super special guy with a heart of gold. Shana was good from her head to her toes. Totally relaxed and ready to just enjoy her wedding ( I love that) And when I met her Mom and Dad it made perfect reasoning the apple never falls far from the tree. This was a fairly small wedding so I had the chance to meet everyone and this group was a total and complete joy. When I started to glance at the photos to grab some for the blog post, I was happy for them all over again. What most people don’t know is that Alec and I get to relive every wedding as we edit the photos. The time we spend making your wedding memory’s come to life makes us better photographers. So thank you Shana and Ben, we are better wedding photographers ! Big bear hugs T

I think this is my favorite. Its impossible to look at this photo and not smile
I did not mention Shana is a world class Surgeon..The handwriting of a doctor, and its really good!
JUMP!!
I'm pretty sure Ben's feet never left the ground
The ceremony on the beach at Fiesta Americana is beautiful feels private and peaceful
Thats a Ben bear hug. If you notice his Moms feet are off the ground.
The ceremony was just like this every minute. The love was an easy capture!
I'm telling you, Ben was the best huger ever. Yes I did say huger . Ben is the king of good hugs.
Aprils feet are barely touching. This was a true congrats and a precious moment

Cabo Del Sol is a wonderful wedding venue. Alec and I have shot several wedding at this location and really love it. I met Kristin and Sean A while back. Kristin and I bonded with in 10 seconds and then spent the next several months going back and forth with emails. When it was time to shoot their wedding, I felt as if we had been friends for a really long time. My impression was that Sean was thinking this whole photo thing was going to be a pain in the butt…wrong… I know he had fun and I have photos that prove it. hehhe. I really loved this couple and will miss the emails Kristin.
Kristin and Sean’s wedding was planned by Jenny @ Baja Weddings, great job Jen!!!
And perfect wedding hair and Make up by Suzanne Morel
I loved the way his son looked at him as he told this story about the suprise wedding gift...

Beautiful Jewish Destination Wedding at One & Only Palmilla Los Cabos Mexico

What do you get when you put this combination together?? A Groom that is a surgeon, a Bride that is a surgeon, Sarai Flores from Signature weddings, Martha Huerta from One & Only , and yes of coarse Alec & T. Photography ? ANSWER: A perfect wedding with all the right detail . Pretty bold statement, but true. LOL. This Cabo San Lucas destination wedding took place at the One & Only Palmilla located in Mexico. Alec and I have shot many Jewish weddings in the past. But I think this ceremony was exceptional. The traditions and the Rabbis words really touched my heart. He talk about the relationship of the Bride and Groom with passion and conviction. I am looking forward to editing the wedding video to hear these words again. Alec and I would like to congratulate Gene and Jeannie on the exciting life they have ahead of them. To love, to life and to future happiness!! T

Alec and I shot these great engagement photos of Stephanie and Sota a few weeks back. This photo session was about as fun as it gets and was done in about 1 hour. Short and sweet and 100s of perfect photos. I don’t think I stopped laughing and running the entire time. Stephanie has become very dear to me, We have talked about her up and coming Pueblo Bonito Sunset resort wedding numerous times and the phone calls I love. Sotas smile made my heart melt, I knew the minute I saw him it was going to be a breeze of a shoot. We are super excited to shoot their wedding photos and wedding video and Trash the Dress ( this coming May) Mostly we are thrilled to have met such a warm and beautiful couple. Tons of hugs!! T
I think my favorite
Just fun!

China and Joels Cabo San Lucas wedding, was an event pact day. I heard one of the weddings guests say as the fire dancers started, WOW it just keeps getting better. The wedding was planned and designed by Jenny from Baja weddings . I don’t think 10 minutes went by without something cool happening. China incorporated Chinese wedding traditions into the day that added another layer of flair. This destination wedding took place at the Sheraton Hacienda Resort in Los Cabos Mexico. 
This is the first time I have taken a photo of the bride styling hair. China owns a salon. And just could not help herself
This Chinese tradition was so much fun, Joel was singing and dancing on the other side of this door

Esperanza resort is located in Los Cabos Mexico. Alec and I have shot several weddings at Esperanza and we just love the resort. Meghan and Robs wedding was another beautiful Esperanza wedding!! This blog post is huge, I usually do not blog with so many wedding photos but just could not pick I had about 100 chosen and had to cut it down to this 61 photos. The weather on this day was extremely hot ( not normal for June) and I was sure it was going to be a difficult shoot. I was wrong… The day was perfect and went by so fast and the shoot was wonderful . Rob and Meg are two of the sweetest people ever. When I was looking at all the photos I could not help but to notice the way they looked at each other, the way it felt like no one else was in the room, but the two of them ( as if our cameras did not exist). This is what we want to do all the time, we want you to feel as if we are the fly on the wall. To capture the essence of your day without being in your face. The wedding was from beginning to end filled with laughter and love. Thank you both Meg & Rob!! Love you guys !! T
The light this day was so beautiful and the flowers from the palm trees where falling into the air,very romantic

The One & Only Palmilla is considered to be the premier resort of Mexico! The resort lends itself for wedding photos worthy of any bridal magazine. The One & Only is a dream wedding back drop. This destination wedding was in my eyes perfect. And I have these photos as evidence. hehehehe. Audra and Brads wedding was romantic and private. The details I loved, Audra’s flowers and shoes added the perfect touches, not to mention that Brad looked like a movie star in his exquisite tuxedo. And Audra put herself together perfect, like a royal. The love that they share for each other was so easy to capture, I’m so happy that Alec and I had the chance to be apart of this day. This is exactly why we love what we do!! Brad and Audra Congratulations and thank you for letting us share your day!! xoox Alec and T.

The horse and carriage at the One & Only has such a impact, When you hear the horses from a distance coming its very hard not to get chills up and down your spine.
The Agua Bar at the One & Only Palmilla, If you have not been? it is very very cool and a must see in Cabo San Lucas
The way the sun was peaking from the trees set the stage for this wonderful wedding photo
When I looked at Brad standing and waiting for the carriage to pull around the corner the sun was starting to set. This photo was as if it was planned on a movie set! And it was only a moment in time.

I have to start with Lynsey and Chris we love you !! Lynsey and I became friends in the process of her wedding planning and I’m sure will stay this way forever! I think it started when she said she wanted to get married on the beach out front of Casa Dorada… I had a heart attack….Then I begged her to have her ceremony on the deck. NOT THE BEACH!! No No No.. The deck at Casa Dorada is beautiful ( with views) and is a great ceremony setting, The beach is just to busy with tourists, and makes it almost impossible to get pretty clean ceremony photos. Alec and I think that the 12 tribes restaurant is a fabulous setting and the resort is a wonderful wedding location. Lynsey was saved by the bell and did have her wedding ceremony on the deck. GREAT PHOTOS! Private elegant ceremony. The wedding coordinator Sarai ( Signature Weddings ) Is known for her creative touches and once again Sarai, made this wedding completely unique!! I loved the way the chairs angled and the chuppah was super romantic one of my favorites. During the ceremony a little bird landed on the corner of the chuppah and chirped ( It felt like out of a movie) The details of orchids on silk ribbons and pink satin pillows thrown around, nothing looked commercial everything looked handmade and placed with care. Lynsey’s hair and make was done by Suzanne Morel, Located in Cabo San Lucas and stayed perfect all night! I received a beautiful email from Lynsey saying her wedding was perfect that she would not have changed a thing!! This is exactly what we love to hear. Everybody come to Cabo!!!

We enjoyed the entire day! Thank you Shani and Chris!! And a big thank you to Suzanne Morel Hair and Make up, You really make our job so much easier!!

This amazing destination wedding took place in Los Cabos Mexico at the Marquis resort. Leah and Tucker had a picture perfect wedding! Not only were they beautiful outside, But this couple was absolutely wonderful inside and out. I had such a hard time choosing the blog photos..I could have blogged with all of them. The wedding video is going to be so much fun!! Leahs hair and Make up was done by Suzanne Morel and as usual it was perfect, I loved her eye-make up! I think Leahs fathers speech should win an award. There was not a dry eye in the house, just for that alone the video will be priceless. This fabulous wedding was by Wedding planning by amy@fiestasloscabos.com and Earth Sea and Sky Vacations

This Esperanza wedding was very special to Alec and I. Cassandra and Skylar could not have been two nicer people to work with, I cannot say enough great things about them. Cassandra had a definite style, nothing flashy or over the top. From her wedding dress that just draped perfect on her perfect body, to her shoes, to the simple elegant table settings, the cocktail hours great champagne and ceviche. Everything was first class all the way. They chose to use earth tones and let the Esperanza resort and ocean be the backdrop of the wedding. Everything they did worked. Oh and the wedding bouquet!! Lily of the valley. Extremely rare for Mexico and very hard to get , It grows in cool temperatures. How did you get those fresh???? They looked like she ran outside and freshly picked them before walking down the isle ..Another perfect detail. Cassandra and Skylar we cant wait to see you sometime soon in LA!! Alec & T

Cabo Azul Resort is located in San Jose Del Cabo and is popular for its wedding chapel. The resort has a very modern feel to it. The black and white theme that is through out lends its self for some great photo opts. Monique contacted me a while back and explained to me that she and Alvin would get married in their home town but would honeymoon in Cabo and wanted some spectacular photos while they were in town. We came up with a date that would work for all of us for the photo shoot and the rest is history. Everything was perfect that day not to windy not to bright just right! The photos are spectacular!!

Another beautiful destination wedding in Los Cabos. Rick and Janine had an all white wedding!! The wedding guests were asked to wear white! even all the vendors wore white!! I love this for photos. The ceremony and reception were both held at the Fiesta America in Cabo San Lucas. The location is one of my favorites..Maybe that’s because of the great staff, wonderful food and beach that feels completely private. Cheers to Fiesta Americana! And double big salute to Baja weddings April and Jenny the wedding planners that made this event happen..who by the way, looked great in all white. Rick you are my favorite ROCK STAR, and Janine we love you!! xooxo Alec & T.

Anatoly and Yana contacted me from Chicago and we discussed their wedding details.They are an amazingly beautiful Russian couple as you can see. We came to an agreement that Alec and I would shoot the wedding photos and the wedding video. Anatoly told me of a entertainer ( Marat) that he would be flying in from Chicago to run the show, OK fine I said, I will talk with him to get the scoop on this Russian wedding. Hmmmm.. Well.. WOW.. All I can say is MARAT is my new hero, my MASTER of fun, my Mr. MAGICAL. I cant say enough about him!! In my life I have never experienced a wedding anything like this wedding. From shooting weddings in NYC in LA in San Diego, Seattle or Mexico City, Marat put on the best show I have ever witnessed. The wedding was non stop entertainment. Alec and I were hired to shoot the wedding until 10:00 at 12:30, we started to pack up, I didn’t want to miss a thing. The Couple Yana & Anatoly and all of their wedding guests made us feel a part of the wedding.Thank You!! I have only a few of these spectacular wedding photos ready. How could I choose from so many perfect photos. And the wedding video is going to be so much fun, I cant wait to start working on it.

The wedding of Deb and Steve took place at Villa Cortez in beautiful Cabo San Lucas. Alec and I were very excited to shoot the wedding. We not only were hired to capture the wedding with photography but we also shot their wedding video! And it is going to be amazing! Villa Cortez is located on Cabo Del Sol Golf coarse, and over looks the ocean. I had no idea I was dealing with a golf pro. Steve toured 7 years as a professional PGA player!! WOW it was impressive. He even held a golf club different then most, it was an extension of his arm. when he swung his club it was smooth as butter.. I have video as proof! They did not have a sit down dinner but instead decided on appetizers passed around all night. by my friend Dennis Catering . Smart.. Smart. The food was really amazing (no body missed the sit down dinner..) and they focused on a great party!! It was a great party! Located in Cabo San Lucas.

Dani & Jons destination wedding took place in a magical place near the Sea of Cortez. The Villa was just past Puerto Los Cabos, Villa Castillo Escondido. It was perfect for a wedding! The completely private beach was beautiful. During Dani & Jons ceremony the whales swam freely in the distance. It was a perfect day! Wedding planners Baja Weddings .

Cabo San Lucas Mexico is the perfect destination for a beach wedding! Alec and I are in love with many things about Los Cabos Mexico one being the almost perfect weather all year long and the beautiful wedding venues. Melissa and Shaun had a great wedding story. I spent many months with Melissa over emails and phone calls and when meeting them both we felt like old friends!! I believe the photos are a great representation of that friendship!! congrats to you both Hugs and Love Alec & T.

First dance Esperanza Resort Cabo San Lucas
Cabo Azul Resort San Jose del Cabo Mexico
Traditionally the first dance takes place after dinner, and gets the party started. Another great idea is to do it at the very beginning of the wedding reception, right after the bride and groom are announced they break into dance.Why? Your hair and make up will be fresh and so will you for photos also you will still have everyone’s attention. And if you only have your wedding photographer for a few hours , the wedding first dance will be captured!!

Hair and make up on your wedding day is extremely important, I cannot stress this enough. I was at Suzanne Morels Salon in Cabo San lucas the other day. I was getting a manicure/ pedicure eating Christmas cookies and talking with Suzanne & Elsa. Suzanne made a great point about whether to wear your hair up or down?? Remember its very windy in Cabo San Lucas at certain times of the year. Hair Up or Down this is the question?? If its a windy day please wear your hair up. Its very distracting when your hair is blowing in your face and it also looks really bad for photos. You can always take it down after the ceremony. Suzanne has a few updos that look great when taken down. She suggested always have 2 options, and I could not agree more. T
This was a very windy day in Cabo and Victorias hair style worked perfect, thank you Suzanne Morel

Wedding Cocktails
Most destination weddings have a cocktail hour that is just after the wedding ceremony and just before dinner. Love this! This also gives Alec and I as photographers the time to spend with the Bride and Groom getting those great sunset beach shots . We just shot a wedding in Los Cabos at Pedergal beach and the Bride had the Catering company in this case it was Denis catering in Los Cabos bring the drinks to the beach.They looked really refreshing! This photos make you want a vacation

Los Cabos Mexico is known for many great wedding venues. Cabo Del Sol is one of them. The bluff that over looks the ocean is a breathtaking location for a wedding ceremony, This is where Marc and Ashley exchanged Vows. The Cabo Del Sol, Club house is the perfect reception spot, upscale and elegant. A perfect fit for this couple.

What an amazing destination wedding! Becky and Chris did it right. This wedding was detailed down to a fine art. When I first met Becky and Chris at the beautiful Esperanza resort several months ago, I just new Alec and I were meant to photography their wedding. They both had this really warm laid back attitude. Becky had this thing about her that I loved the very minute I met her. A complete sense of style! One of the first things Chris told me was, he did not like his photo being taken. I said I wont take your photo only Becky’s…Well as you can see he got in the way a lot and ended up with some pretty amazing wedding photos.I by the way adore Chris. The wedding reception was a party you would have wanted to be invited to.The band (Drzhivegas) was flown in from St. Louis, and rocked the Auberge resort until long after midnight. This entire amazing wedding was orchestrated by Sarai Flores owner of signature weddings located in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. The wedding ran so smooth not a single snag. Sarai looked beautiful and calm as usual, when I left she was still smiling. Becky and Chris we cant wait for you to see all your wedding photos… this is nothing!! Besos T. Oh and the rehearsal dinner photos are on the way!!
