CREATING THE PERFECT TIMELINE: THE BEST TIME FOR A CEREMONY IN RIVIERA MAYA
Crafting Timeless Memories: Your Perfect Wedding Timing in Riviera Maya
Hello, beautiful souls! Are you ready to transform your dream wedding into a breathtaking reality against the backdrop of Riviera Maya's enchanting sunsets? I'm Luis Tovilla, your dedicated storyteller behind the lens, and I'm here to guide you through creating magical memories that will last a lifetime.
THE MAGIC OF THE MOMENT
Let's talk about time because when it comes to your special day, every moment counts. You've probably heard about the beauty of synchronizing your ceremony with the sunset, but let's delve into why it really makes a difference.
Your wedding day flies by in the blink of an eye, and you really need to be precise to create a timeline that ensures everything goes smoothly. You can achieve incredible photos with your bridal party and partner, share with your guests during the cocktail, and take portraits with all your guests if the start time of your ceremony is right.
Now, here's where the magic happens: by scheduling your ceremony 1 hour and 50 minutes before sunset, you're setting the stage for a seamless transition into an unforgettable evening.
CREATING YOUR PERFECT TIMELINE
We have carefully crafted the perfect timeline to ensure that every aspect of your day is as enchanting as the next. From capturing sincere moments with your loved ones to escaping for a private photoshoot against the serene beauty of the Riviera Maya, we've got you covered.
Many couples think that the ideal is to take photos before the ceremony, and in some cases, it is done, although it is not the best option, especially if you want photos in the best available light. But here's the trick: instead of scheduling any photo session before the ceremony (with the bridal party and partner), we recommend leaving enough time afterwards. Doing the first look before the ceremony is perfect, but after the first look, we won't do the main session, we'll take some photos to complement it. Due to the intense heat and humidity of the Riviera Maya, your makeup could be damaged before the ceremony starts if you spend too much time outside the air conditioning.
With the timeline we will mention, you will have the best of everything, you can have the first look, some photos before the ceremony, group photo, photos with your family and guests, enjoy the cocktail with your guests, and have the sessions of your bridal party and the couple's session in the best possible light.
By prioritizing your guests and allowing yourself to enjoy the joy of the moment, you are not only creating beautiful memories but also ensuring that you look and feel your best throughout the day.
