Destination Wedding Photographer ~Riviera Maya, Mexico~ Natalie & Matt are Married…Part Dos! The Reception…

Va Photography Destination Wedding Riviera Maya Mexico. So when we left our Bride and Groom they are made it through the First tropical rain storm, on their special day, to be married in paradise at the Now Sapphire!  Everyone was a little water-logged, but I think it just added to the casual look of the beach wedding.  Natalie and Matt only had a few hours for their reception booked and a LOT of dancing to do, so we had to work fast to do the Bridal party formals.  To say that Natalie’s bridesmaids were professional models would be an understatement.  These Ladies ROCK a photo shoot.  They were on in EVERY picture.  *Note to future Bridemaids…The Photographer LOVES when you pretend to be on Next Top Model during formals.  Don’t be afraid to throw a hip out and give me those eyes!!! Tips From a Va Wedding Photographer.

Now it was time for the Dancing!!  Natalie’s uncle is a DJ and did a great job getting the crowd jumping.   Natalie…I have to know what this song is that you were dancing to in this picture.  It was a great song and a really fun dance…all Brides should have it at their weddings!

Since all these wonderful people flew to Mexico to see Natalie and Matt tie the knot, we thought it was only fitting to take a photo of everyone there…
