Sunset da Mona Lisa in Cabo San Lucas is one of my favorite wedding Locations. Breath taking views and amazing sunsets! Alec and I love this venue, we have never shot a wedding that we did not fall over backwards when we started to edit. Emina and Sulejmans wedding was coordinated by April at Baja Weddings highly recommended, first class Cabo wedding coordinators!! We just finished editing the wedding video and it is just as amazing as the photos, I will put the video up in the next few days. This was a small intimate wedding that was done with such class and elegant touches. Enima knew exactly what she wanted. The wedding colors, her choice of dress, everything was perfect. The Sunset in Cabo was as usual heart stopping. We laughed and enjoyed everyone the entire day. I’m so happy to share these wedding photos with this beautiful couple, Thinking of you both!!! xoxoT

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!!!

My barefoot bride chose Esperanza resort in Mexico to have her first class destination wedding. Meredith and Paul’s wedding was fun, spontaneous and completely relaxed..They picked the perfect couple to shoot their wedding. When Alec and I arrived and I looked at Meredith I knew this was going to be a day of great photos. The first thing I did was run over and give her a big hug and kiss and then meet everyone else in the room. As we started to shoot I realized she was missing shoes.. This is the way she stayed all night, MY BAREFOOT BRIDE. I think mostly everyone was shoeless, Its was perfect. The weddings flowers ( flown in from Holland) were designed by Elena Damy www.elenadamy.com.. AMAZING Elena and Carlos, literally off the charts, but then again every wedding I do with Elena, I seem to say the same thing WOW!! Arianna from Esperanza planned this wedding with perfect orchestration. Meredith and Paul loved Arianna.( everyone always dos) The night seemed to fly by so fast. I’m excited for this blog post. I’m excited for Meredith and Paul to have the chance to relive their wedding day. Besos and more more besos. T

The pool at Esperanza is a great photo back drop

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!!!

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

I wanted to blog with a few of Ana and Alonso’s trash the dress photos.. Cabo Del Sol wedding photos coming soon !! I just fell in love with Ana, everything about her was elegant and pure as if she stepped out from a movie that took place in the early 1900s. Alec and I instantly had a great chemistry with both Anna & Alonso. Cheers!!! I believe that you should preserve your wedding dress on your body ( with as many photos as possible ) before you retire it to your closet..to never wear again! Just a few photos.. 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 Palmilla horses caught in a bit of a run, breath taking to say the least

I loved Audra's Rene Caovilla bridal shoes! What a perfect detail

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.

The wedding entrance

The wedding ceremony took place in Palmillas chapel

Picture perfect

This is one of my favorite photos!

I loved the feel of these 4 photos. They did not even know we were present taking photos. We beleive you should not feel the photographer pointing a camera at you. Our work is fresh and free. Just like these photos


It looks like Brad is saying.. I give you the ocean!! How do you like it?

The wonderful beach out front of Palimilla

You see it works!! I have a method to this madness. This is as good as it gets!

This Cabo San Lucas destination wedding had me laughing the entire day and night! From the very first phone call I knew Alec and had a fun wedding ahead. April from Baja weddings called me and said,” boy do I have a couple for you” Alec and I really love to shoot outside the box, have fun and get creative. NO boring wedding photography please!! Amy and James truly enjoyed their wedding day!! The fake mustaches and the tequila shots, started the wedding reception on a perfect note. When we took the wedding party down to the beach for photos it was a party in itself. I’m pretty sure Amy and James should be back this week from a long European honeymoon and I’m sure Italy is not the same. Cant wait to hear about your trip!! hugs T

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!!!

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!! Alvin and Monique we are still smiling! I cant wait to tag you on Facebook!! xox T

Cabo Del Sol is an amazing wedding venue in Cabo San Lucas Mexico. Alec and I have shot many destination weddings at this location, and love it. Every wedding we find new and fresh photo options. Nina and Eric’s ceremony was held on the green over looking the ocean. The cocktail hour and reception were both held in the beautiful Cabo Del Sol golf coarse club house. We promised Eric that he would not miss his cocktail hour! Eric we stuck to our word. YEAH!! I think we spent no longer then 15 minutes with the bride and groom and still we were able to capture fantastic photos with many different backgrounds. Just a few photos from this beautiful wedding!!

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.

Ok thats joy!!

Cabo Del Sol is located in beautiful Los Cabos Mexico. This is a fabulous wedding venue! Alec and I shot the wedding photos and the wedding video, for Eric Wright and LaTanya Fisher . The minute Alec heard the name Eric Wright..football player..He knew who he was. Alec is a USC graduate and Eric was a USC football super star and now Eric is a part of the NFL (for awhile actually) When I first met LaTanya I just could not wait to photograph her!! she is stunning in every way. We love you Eric and Tutu!!
A special thank- you to April from Baja weddings! Your planning on this wedding was really about perfect!!!

Villa Bellissima is Located in Los Cabos Mexico, It is an amazing Villa that over looks the newest high end Cabo San Lucas resort Capella. Let me tell you about this amazing villa wedding!!! 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.

MARAT WORLD!! Let the party begin!!

Helena thanks for the use of your beautiful legs! What a photo

Myself and Marat..Me and Marat, sounds like a song. Hmmmm

Smile! Thinking of you Aleksey!!!

Staff from Matter Of Taste Catering in Cabo San Lucas. The food kept coming for hours and it was out of this world!

I think this was costume change number 5 or 6. Marat never stopped the entire night. Something new was happening every minute, the party did not have a minute of down time. he kept the show going the entire night.

Talk about cool!!

The light show was beautiful and so great for photos

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. Perfect hair and makeup once again!! by Suzanne Morel

Fiesta Americana Resort. Destination beach wedding of Jeanna and Will. Jeanna and Will ( and all the friends and family) were so much fun! Thank you guys for making our day and night so great. It was hard for us to leave at the end.. This was the first of three scheduled weddings Alec & I have at the resort, we were really excited to see what Fiesta Americana had to offer for weddings… SCORE! the beach was beautiful as you can see I posted a photo to show how private it feels and how the rock formation in the ocean makes for fantastic photos. This wedding was coordinated by Jenny at Baja weddings and went perfectly smooth, Thanks Jen, Once again a total pro! I cant wait for you to see all the photos. It was really hard for me to pick only a few to blog with. Jeanna you are the cutest thing ever!! Tons of hugs and kisses. Alec & T

Dawn and Ryan, A beautiful Esperanza wedding!! Cabo San Lucas Mexico is in my book a perfect destination wedding location. The Esperanza resort and spa is spectacular and lends itself to great photography. Dawn & Ryan contacted us last August , I was in the Pacific Northwest getting ready to give birth to our son Liam. As soon as I found out they were also from the N.W. I knew we would be a perfect match.. REAL …Alec and I have a very candid wedding photography style. We shoot your wedding as its naturally unfolding. Nothing stiff nothing contrived. Dawn had a very regal side to her that worked perfect with the sexy black and white, Ryan we just let him be and his emotion of the day lead us. I fell head over heels in love with Tatum Ryan’s daughter ( Dawns new daughter! yeah!!) her spirit was so pure and the love she had for her father was above and beyond ( so easy to capture). Ryan, Dawn and Tatum, Alec and I send our love out to you!! It was a joy to be apart of your wedding day!! Besos T
