Capturing Love at Punta Sur: A Couple's Journey from Mardi Gras to Engagement

Isla Mujeres is an island full of breathtaking views and unforgettable moments. When I had the chance to photograph a beautiful couple at Punta Sur, I knew it would be a session to remember. Their love story, still fresh five months after their engagement, was as vibrant and unique as the stunning scenery of the cliffs of Punta Sur.

I met this amazing couple who had been engaged for five months. They came to Isla Mujeres to explore options for their destination wedding, checking out the luxurious all-inclusive resorts, Almare and Impression Isla Mujeres by Secrets. But before making any big decisions about the big day, they wanted to capture the magic of their journey with a couple’s session at Punta Sur—a place that perfectly reflected their love story.

Their story began back in 2020 in New Orleans, just before the world changed due to COVID-19. They met during Mardi Gras, a time of joy and excitement, which became the backdrop for the start of their relationship. Despite the challenging times that followed, their connection only grew stronger, and just a few months ago, they became engaged. As they stand on the edge of this exciting new chapter, photographing their love against the incredible vistas of Isla Mujeres felt like a natural step in their journey.

Punta Sur, with its dramatic cliffs and sweeping ocean views, was the perfect setting for them to reflect on their love. The sky was dramatic and stormy-looking the day of their session, which just added to the beauty of the location and the deep connection they share.

Their love was palpable, and it was such an honor to document this chapter in their life. From meeting at Mardi Gras in New Orleans to planning a destination wedding in paradise, it was clear that their bond was one that would stand the test of time.

As they prepare for their destination wedding, their session at Punta Sur is a reminder that the journey is just as beautiful as the destination. I can’t wait to see what’s next for this incredible couple!
