Vacation to Riviera Maya, Mexico

You guys, I had serious withdrawal after this trip I’m sharing with you. I had never been on any sort of vacation like this. Paradise and all inclusive.  I kept thinking there was a catch to this all inclusive deal but there really wasn’t. And every morning I would look out the window and think “Yup, looks the same, another beautiful day in paradise.”  I love the people that live and work there, everyone was so funny and happy. It was a girls trip with a bestie. A refresh for the mind and body (hello amazing spa!).

So how and why was I there? I was lucky enough to have a fellow photographer and good friend ask me to be her second shooter at a wedding in Riviera Maya, Mexico. So we made a little trip out of it and it was glorious. We didn’t take our cameras out too much (besides the actual wedding day) as we wanted to really relax. When we did though we shot A LOT. The photos I’m sharing are from our resort (Hard Rock Riviera Maya) and a little trip to Playa del Carmen (about twelve miles from our resort).

And because I didn’t pull out the big camera too often I did use my iPhone a lot to document the day to day surreal and relaxing moments.
