Jennifer + Mark: Married in Puerto Moreles, Mexico! (Part I)

July 8th, 2009 @ 8:34 am by Punam Bean

I'm positively drooling with excitement! Jennifer and Mark's wedding at Cieba del Mar in Puerto Moreles, Mexico, was pretty amazing. Seriously. I drooled. All the way back home, feverishly editing photos on the plane until my battery died, and then I was sad. I got home only just hours ago, and I just can't seem to stop!

It was so wonderful to hang out with this family again, and getting to know Jennifer and Mark even better. We began the weekend with a catamaran cruise out of Puerto Aventuras and a rehearsal dinner back at Cieba. Naomi (my trusty roommate/best friend/studio manager) did get a little sea sick:

Often, clients contact me with a sense of already having met me thanks to my blog. Such was the case when bride Kathryn called about her wedding a year and a half ago to check my availability. She had settled on a date I was already booked, but decided to have me cover her rehearsal dinner anyway. I loved that she still found a place for me in her wedding weekend and had a blast covering her pre-wedding night celebration.

Kathryn and Christian live in NYC, but returned to Maine where Kathryn attended college and has vacationed with her family on Drakes Island her whole life. It was a perfect collaboration of city meets coastal in a casual chic evening in the boathouse.
