I had such a blast with this getting ready session, here we are in the midst of greens outside and a beautiful aqua ocean in a warm tranquil spa of this gorgeous destination wedding I shot at  Barcelo Resort in the Rivieran Mayan Beaches in Mexico . This was the best and most beautiful getting ready session I had ever done and Jill was so beautiful to photograph that I had to pick many favorites and do a full post just on her getting ready.= and while we were at the Spa, her flowers came so I snuck out with them for some shots. And her eyes totally match the ocean which made it oh so much better. I loved how it was her, her mother and mother in law! Just a little recap on how Rich the groom proposed to Jill. She was waiting for a ring during Christmas and she searched the house and found nothing. Then on a trip to Florida, he planned for them to swim with the dolphins at a park owned by Sea World but not the big Sea World one, and at the end of the swimming session, the attendant asked if she wanted to tug with the dolphin and she said sure but little did she know that the dolphin would be bringing a little float that read ” Jill will you marry me”. The dolphin did indeed bring it but Jill did not read it, lol and Rich had to tell her to read it. I thought it was so romantic and so thoughtful, he gets major brownie points and it compliments the Destination Wedding theme oh so well! Here is the part 1 of many posts to come.
