Happy Holidays, everyone! It’s Christmas day and I just wrapped up Larry and Laura’s fantastic wedding at Ana Y Jose’s in Tulum, just down the coast from Cancun and Playa del Carmen. Tulum is one of my favorite places to get married on the Mexican Riviera due to its laid back atmosphere and lack of high rise megaresorts. Larry and Laura had my wife and I down there to shoot their wedding, and we had so much fun with their friends and family.
I’m going to embarrass Larry for a minute because he’s got one of the coolest proposal stories I’ve ever heard: the two were at a parade, where every year, ping pong balls are shot into the crowd with certain deals for local businesses printed on the balls. Larry was about ten steps ahead, so he found himself a ping pong ball beforehand, split it in half, and hid Laura’s ring within. Then he pocketed it and headed out to the parade. Sure enough, the ping pong balls were shot into the crowd and Larry enthusiastically jumped to the ground on his hands and knees to find one. In a stroke of luck, a newspaper photographer was standing right behind them and captured the whole thing. Once down, Larry rose to one knee and showed Laura his hollowed out ping pong ball with the ring. Well played, sir. Well played.
At any rate, the celebration lasted for a couple of days, with a welcome lunch and dinner, a beautiful beach front wedding, and a day-after trip to Hidden Worlds, a cool cenote adventure park in the jungle. What follows are some favorites from the wedding day itself. Larry & Laura, congratulations, and thanks so much for having us down there. You’ll be pleased to know that those goodie bags you left us with were most appreciated! We’d love to connect again, so if you’re out in Colorado you have to give a shout.
Love it.
