Royalton Riviera Cancun is one of the most popular luxury all-inclusive resorts for destination weddings in Mexico … and once you see the Sky Terrace, you understand why. Panoramic views of the Caribbean, open sky, that particular Riviera Cancun light that turns everything golden in the late afternoon. It’s a setting that does a lot of the work for you.

Danny and Nino chose it perfectly. Their ceremony on the Sky Terrace was sweet, emotional, and exactly the kind of moment I got into this work for: two people completely present with each other, surrounded by the people who love them most. After the vows, the celebration moved to one of the hotel’s ballrooms for a night of dancing, laughter, and the kind of energy that only happens when a room is genuinely happy for the couple at the center of it.

I was there as a second photographer alongside my friend Jorge Rodriguez Photography — and I’m so glad I was.

Danny & Nino, thank you for letting me be part of your day. If you’re planning a same-sex wedding or any destination wedding at Royalton Riviera Cancun and looking for a photographer who knows the property and the light … I’d love to hear from you.
