Amy and Collin’s Secrets Akumal wedding was the perfect blend of adventure, romance, and luxury. As avid world travelers, the couple wanted their wedding to be more than just a one-day event. With the help of Jess and her team at Here and Away Travel, they curated an unforgettable experience for themselves and their guests in the heart of Mexico’s Riviera Maya.

When the week began, we met for an adventure session to document their time exploring the stunning cenotes between Playa del Carmen and Tulum. A highlight of the trip was Cenote Jardin Del Eden, where tiny fish playfully nibbled at their toes. We enjoyed beautiful natural scenery that we knew we would’ve if we had documented just their resort experience. To avoid the crowds, we went early and were lucky to have the place almost entirely to ourselves. Despite the chilly water, you can easily see the joy and sense of adventure between them shine through.

When it came to choosing a venue, Amy and Collin opted for a Secrets Akumal wedding without even visiting in advance. Their decision proved to be perfect. Nestled along the breathtaking shores of the Riviera Maya, Secrets Akumal offers a luxurious and serene setting for couples seeking a picturesque Mexico wedding.

Rather than exchanging vows on the sand, they selected the resort’s Plaza for their ceremony. The elegant venue provided an intimate yet grand atmosphere while ensuring they stayed dry, rain or shine. Even as the weather brought a bit of rain throughout the day, we still had many locations for portraits and the ceremony that kept everyone comfortable and dry. 

A destination wedding is all about creating memories in extraordinary places, and Secrets Akumal delivered beyond expectations. From the turquoise waters of the Caribbean to the lush greenery surrounding the resort, every moment was picture-perfect. Whether you’re planning a Playa del Carmen wedding, a Cancun wedding, or a celebration anywhere in Mexico, a destination wedding photographer ensures your love story is beautifully documented for a lifetime.
