Sara and Dani have been together for over a decade, and it shows in the best possible way, that easy, quiet kind of love that doesn’t need to perform for the camera.

We spent the afternoon moving through Playacar, the lush gated community tucked into the heart of Playa del Carmen, jungle paths, open sky, and that warm late-afternoon light that this area does so well. From the greenery to the beach as the sun dropped, every spot gave us something different to work with.

Sara is one of the most established and well-known wedding hair and makeup artists in the Riviera Maya. You can find her work at ST Makeup & Hair. The fact that she trusted me to photograph her own anniversary session means a lot — and I’m grateful for both her friendship and her trust.

Sara, Dani — thank you for this one.
