Mayan Beach Club Wedding, Isla Mujeres | Brooke + Tyler

When Brooke and Tyler began planning their dream wedding, they knew they wanted something truly magical — a celebration that blended beauty, adventure, and intimacy. What better place than the stunning shores of Isla Mujeres, Mexico? Surrounded by turquoise waters and the laid-back island vibe, this couple created a wedding experience to remember. I had the honor of photographing their big day, and from start to finish, it was a joy to capture every beautiful moment.

The couple chose the Mayan Beach Club as their wedding venue, and it's easy to see why. Nestled on the pristine Playa Norte — one of the top-rated beaches in all of Mexico — Mayan Beach Club offers a perfect balance of elegance and island charm. With white sand underfoot, swaying palms overhead, and panoramic ocean views, the setting alone is breathtaking. But what makes Mayan Beach Club truly special is the atmosphere: it's luxurious without being stuffy, tropical without being cliché, and intimate in all the right ways. Their staff was exceptional and the service, flawless — making it a dream location for both the couple and their guests.

Before the ceremony, Brooke and her bridal party got ready at the nearby Ixchel Beach Hotel, which provided a relaxing yet vibrant atmosphere for the morning. Overlooking the Caribbean Sea, the suites at Ixchel were a perfect space for laughter, champagne toasts, and those quiet, emotional moments that make weddings so meaningful. Hair and makeup were beautifully handled by Ursula Lopez, a local artist known for her soft glam looks and professionalism. Ursula and her team brought such calm, joyful energy to the day, and every one of the girls looked absolutely stunning.

Of course, no wedding runs smoothly without someone keeping all the moving parts in harmony, and Cindy Smith, the wedding planner, was a total superstar. From coordinating vendors to making sure every detail was in place — from floral arrangements to seating plans — Cindy handled it all with grace and a smile. Her experience and care allowed Brooke and Tyler to relax and truly enjoy the moment, knowing they were in the best of hands. As a photographer, I can’t overstate how valuable it is to work with planners like Cindy who understand the flow of the day and keep everything effortlessly on track.

The ceremony took place right on the sand, with a soft sea breeze and a soundtrack of waves. Brooke walked down the aisle looking radiant, and Tyler’s reaction said it all — it was emotional, heartfelt, and filled with joy. As the sun dipped lower in the sky, we stole away for a few portraits by the water, capturing that golden hour glow that only a place like Isla Mujeres can provide.

Then came the party.

And what a party it was. The dance floor was on fire all night long — laughter, barefoot dancing in the sand, and impromptu singalongs created a night none of us will forget. With string lights twinkling above and the ocean just steps away, guests celebrated under the stars. The energy was electric — a true testament to the love that surrounds Brooke and Tyler.

Photographing Brooke and Tyler’s destination wedding was more than just a job — it was a chance to witness love in its purest form, surrounded by beauty and joy. Isla Mujeres, Mayan Beach Club, Ixchel Beach Hotel, and the incredible vendor team made this wedding a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I’m so grateful to have been part of it.

Cheers to Brooke and Tyler — may your life be as vibrant, warm, and joyful as your wedding day.
