Carolyn + Justin | Dreams Resort Cabo San Lucas | Destination Wedding

March 25, 2015

I was so excited to shoot my first beach wedding at Dreams Resort Cabo San Lucas.  Carylee Photography brought me and my hubby along to shoot with her, and we had such a wonderful time!  Carolyn and Justin were an awesome couple to work with, they were so sweet, laughed the entire day, and were up for anything 🙂  The Dreams Resort Cabo San Lucas was a super beautiful location, and their barefoot on the beach ceremony was everything they dreamed of!  Their guests had an amazing time too, except for maybe the heat!  Boy, oh boy, was it a scorcher!!  One of the locals told us the next day, that it had been 103 degrees, with 80% humidity.  Us Coloradans are not used to humidity like that, it was desfinitely the sweatiest I have ever been at a wedding LOL!  Ok…TMI, I suppose!  I was definitely not the only one though, by the end of the night, the entire bridal party had jumped in a nearby pool to cool off.  The girls even jumped in in their dresses!

I know this is a lengthy post, but we traveled a long way and we shot a ton of photos!  Stick around until the end to check out that beautiful Mexican sunset.  Golden sun hitting the golden sand…gorgeous!
