An Intimate Elopement at Punta Sur: Ashley & Lance's Isla Mujeres Love Story

Some love stories feel like they were written by the ocean itself—calm, deep, and endlessly beautiful. Ashley and Lance’s elopement at Punta Sur on Isla Mujeres was exactly that: a celebration wrapped in sunlight, sea breeze, and the kind of love that makes your heart pause for a moment.

Ashley and Lance met back in 2022 through Facebook, a digital spark that quickly grew into something undeniably real. From the beginning, Lance never missed a chance to tell Ashley how much he loved her—every single day. Their relationship blossomed with intention and tenderness, and when it came time to tie the knot, they knew exactly where they wanted to do it: Isla Mujeres.

Having visited the island a few times before, Ashley and Lance were drawn to the laid-back island vibe, the sparkling turquoise water, and the warmth of the local community. There’s something truly magical about Isla Mujeres that’s hard to put into words—it’s more of a feeling. And that feeling made it the perfect place for their elopement.

We began the day with a pre-ceremony couple’s session along the cliffs of Punta Sur. The contrast of the dramatic cliffs and the serene sea made for the dreamiest backdrop. Ashley looked radiant in the soft breeze, her dress catching the light with every step. Lance couldn’t stop beaming at her—those candid, love-filled glances are the kind of moments photographers live for.

There’s something sacred about sharing those quiet moments before a ceremony. With only the sound of the ocean and the rustling palms, Ashley and Lance got to soak in the gravity of the day and reflect on the journey that brought them here. No distractions, just presence.

Their ceremony took place on the Punta Sur outlook balcony—a spot perched high above the water, with sweeping panoramic views that make your heart skip. It was a private and deeply personal ceremony, just the two of them exchanging vows with the Caribbean stretching endlessly behind them. The intimacy of the moment, framed by such a grand landscape, felt both powerful and peaceful.

This beautiful day couldn’t have come together without the help of Isla Mujeres Elopements, my other business dedicated to crafting meaningful, effortless elopement experiences here on the island. From logistics to location scouting and everything in between, we were honored to coordinate Ashley and Lance’s elopement and make their vision come to life.

Elopements like this are a reminder of what matters most. Love doesn’t need a crowd. It just needs two people, a breathtaking place, and a moment to say, “I choose you.”

Ashley and Lance’s day at Punta Sur was nothing short of magical, and it was a privilege to document every moment of it. Here's to a lifetime of island sunsets, spontaneous adventures, and never going a day without saying “I love you.”
