Dreams Playa Mujeres Wedding Celebration. Samantha + Eric

The best destination weddings happen in Mexico’s romantic Riviera Maya, and Samantha and Eric’s stunning celebration at Dreams Playa Mujeres Golf & Spa Resort was a perfect example. From heartfelt vows on the white sand beach to their lively sunset reception, this wedding was filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments.

Set on a pristine stretch of coastline just north of Cancun, Dreams Playa Mujeres offers the ideal backdrop for couples dreaming of a romantic beach wedding. Samantha and Eric chose this tropical paradise not only for its breathtaking ocean views but also for the ease it provided their guests—luxury, comfort, and celebration all in one place.

Their ceremony took place under a beautifully decorated pergola overlooking the turquoise waters. Soft ocean breezes carried the scent of radiant roses and tropical florals, creating the perfect backdrop for their intimate vows. Everyone felt the love of these truly emotional moments, and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house.

​As a destination wedding photographer, capturing authentic, candid moments (like a rolling tear) is what I live for—and Samantha and Eric gave us so many to work with. From their joyful walk back down the aisle to intimate newlywed portraits during golden hour, their love and excitement shone through in every frame.

The bridal party brought the energy, and the laughter during the beachside cocktail hour set the tone for an unforgettable evening of making lifelong memories.

​Their reception under the stars featured romantic lighting, delicious cuisine, and one of the most enthusiastic first dances spouting colored smoke I’ve ever seen! Swirling fire dancers took center stage, awing the guests with their courage and dexterity – twirling burning torches, risking “life and limb”. Friends and family toasted to the couple’s love story as the DJ kept the lighted dance floor packed well into the night.

And yes—there was cake. And fireworks. Because if you’re going to say “I do” in paradise, why not go all out?

​If you’re dreaming of your own unforgettable wedding in Mexico, Dreams Playa Mujeres is one of the top luxury wedding resorts in the Riviera Maya—and I’d love to capture your celebration just like Samantha and Eric’s.
