Pros and Cons of Holding the Beach Wedding Event of Your Dreams in Los Cabos Mexico

Holding the Beach Wedding Event of Your Dreams in Los Cabos Mexico Pros and Cons

 

 

Planning a destination wedding can be termed as an overwhelming experience. But with a location like Los Cabos Mexico in mind, there are more reasons than one to celebrate the event of your dreams in a foreign location.

This wedding season, we’re saying hola to a dreamy destination that’s surrounded by the alluring Pacific Ocean, an array of stunning palm trees and heartwarming desert landscapes too. A Los Cabos beach wedding is everything you’ve ever imagined and more and that’s exactly why we’re getting into the nitty-gritty details of it all.

So let’s not waste any more time and go through the pros and cons of holding a beach wedding event at Los Cabos Mexico.

 

PROS

A magically intimate setting can set the right tone from the start

Termed as a dream destination to shoot for any Los Cabos wedding photographer, this idyllic setting in Mexico comprises of breathtaking oceanic views with romantic vibes resonating from every inch and corner. The pure white sandy beaches and alluring stone cliffs will not only provide couples with a seamlessly stunning backdrop but a memory to cherish for years.

 

It’s all about that redefined and relaxing ambience

Los Cabos has plenty of relaxing retreats for couples and their guests to splurge about in absolute grandeur. Whether embarked upon during the pre or post wedding festivities, Los Cabos emits redefined and relaxing feels for those in search of the best.

 

Witness luxury beyond bounds at one of the world’s startling destinations

From flickering lanterns near the sea to pebbled aisles and serene floral décor, turning up the luxury ante at your Los Cabos beach wedding reception can be done with sheer ease. This includes secluded beachfront dinners with soothing ocean waves sure to serenade all the guests in attendance.

Stay on board for an adventure of a lifetime

Couples who wish to seek a little thrill at their destination wedding are in for a big surprise as their Los Cabos beach wedding has plenty of exhilarating features on offer. While the picturesque beaches as well as tantalizing cocktails are an experience of their own, couples can enjoy camel ride entrances, parasailing, jet skiing as well as scuba diving and snorkeling too. Remember, destination weddings aren’t solely restricted to the wedding day itself. It’s a weekend getaway comprising of celebrations with loved ones.

 

Gourmet culinary delights top the list for guests in attendance

A wedding without good food is termed incomplete and a beach wedding held at Los Cabos is far from that. Hosts and guests will wine and dine on culinary delights that range from fresh seafood to authentic Mexican cuisine of the finest kind. This includes oysters, tacos and seafood ravioli, amidst frequent firework displays and shots of tequila too. Now that’s what we call a true wedding celebration.

 

CONS

Taking weather and climate into consideration is important for a smooth Los Cabos beach wedding

While the weather of Mexico is termed to be sunny and bright during most instances in the year, the hurricane with rain season is prevalent in the months of June through October. This is why picking wedding dates wisely for a Los Cabos beach wedding is imminent.

 

Peak seasons have a tendency to spike wedding costs across all boards

Whether it’s Christmas or Easter, spring or summer, peak wedding seasons call for a spike in wedding costs at Los Cabos. The time period between November and April are deemed best in situations like these where prices are more affordable for the masses.

 

 

Diamante Cabo San Lucas wedding

This charming wedding took place at the Diamante Cabo San Lucas  a beautiful and private golf course and residences. Located at the pacific side  Pacific side of Los Cabos. This was the perfect venue to celebrate the union of Jill and Jeff.
Jill and Jeff  are two wonderfully interesting and unique couple who are best friends and are deeply in love to each other. It was a beautifully intimate celebration of their love for each other. And of course it wouldn’t be a Mexico destination wedding without everyone dancing and having so much fun at the dance floor.
Thanks Jill and Jeff for choosing us as your Cabo wedding photographers and I wish you all the best in your new live together.

Downtown wedding. Elizabeth and Felisa

I have to start saying what a wonderful time I had shooting this wedding. I feel lucky that Felisa and Elizabeth thought of me to capture this magical day.  I know Elizabeth for quite some years and never thought I would be her wedding photographer. The saying that you never know where life will take you is definitely true.
The wedding took place in Mexico City in a gorgeous venue, perfectly set for the ocasion at the hotel Downtown Mexico one of the oldest residences in the Zocalo area with an incredible design of colonial style (a must see if you travel to Mexico City)
It was a raining day that complements the romanticism of the night. Everybody had a great time, lots of fun, dance, drinks and laughs. I´m happy to see how much love this couple share. Big thanks to my friend Dennis Berti to help with his point of view to document and second shoot this wedding. Congratulations  to a beautiful couple, wishing you a wonderful journey as you build your life together.

A perfect Villa wedding in Cabo, Villa Grande

Heather and Michael got married in one of the most beautiful places of Cabo San Lucas, it was at Casa Grande at The Pedregal. Amazing Villa with incredible views of the Pacific Ocean.  A few minutes before of the ceremony, Heather and Michael did their first look with three close friends hidden behind the rocks. The ceremony was beautiful and vows were great (tears and laughs perfect combo)

I quickly became wrapped up in their happiness and amazing love for each other. This wedding was a simple and elegant celebration of their love. Everyone has a blast in this paradise, sipping margaritas and Pacifico surrounded by these colorful waters.

Thanks Heather and Michael for choosing me as your Cabo wedding photographer and I wish you all the best in your new live together. Here are a few of my favourites pictures from their wedding.

Heather: "I LOVE the photos!! Thank you so much for being a part of our day! We had such a good time that day and your work is incredible- and I have to say you were right about the photos on the beach!"

Hacienda Cerritos Wedding. Zach and Lyndy

Zach and Lyndy got married at the amazing Hacienda Cerritos, just 40 miles north of Cabo San Lucas and just down the road from the historic artist colony of Todos Santos. I had a lot of fun and enjoyed every minute with them during the getting ready, ceremony, vows... to finish with a great party. I´m very happy that everything turn out so good because this guys deserve it (Just a few days before of the wedding a burglar broke into Zach North Portland home and stole his passport ... click here to read the full story because is crazy)
To be honest if I had to decide one thing that made the day so special it wouldn’t be the location or the weather. It would be how much they love each other (love always win)

Very nice and professional man, you can trust him with you wedding photography!"
