Brandon & JB’s Wedding at Presidente InterContinental Cancun Resort

I recently had the honor of capturing one of the most special days in the lives of Brandon and JB. Originally from Chicago, Brandon — who runs his own art gallery — and JB brought their closest friends and family to celebrate this unforgettable moment. Moreover, some of their guests traveled from Arizona, where they have also lived, which made the day even more meaningful.

From the preparations to the final dance, every moment was full of love, laughter, and contagious energy. The Presidente InterContinental Cancun Resort, with its elegance and breathtaking views, served as the perfect backdrop for their wedding. In addition, the lush gardens, impeccable decor, and natural light made every photograph tell its own unique story.

Brandon and JB incorporated meaningful personal touches into their wedding. As a result, they created an intimate and joyful atmosphere for everyone present. Furthermore, the combination of heartfelt vows, smiles, and spontaneous moments gave the day a truly emotional rhythm.

Capturing their story reminded me once again why I love my work — the privilege of freezing memories that last a lifetime. Finally, congratulations to Brandon and JB on this beautiful new chapter together. I wish all the love for this amazing couple. Elvis Aceff Cancun Wedding Photographer.

Riu Palace Peninsula Cancun Wedding | Cory and Coletta unexpectedly found love through a data app in 2020 shortly after the world shut down. However, neither Bride nor Groom are surprised their relationship made it to the alter. Cory cheekily asked Coletta “Will you marry me?” within the first few messages exchanged and Coletta was always hoping he’d make good on his promise. The couple’s love of sports, entertainment and Mexican cuisine led Cory and Coletta to planning a destination wedding in Cancun, Mexico. The couple was surrounded by their immediate family and closest friends who have all bore witness to the couple’s love and zest for life throughout the years!    Riu Palace Peninsula Cancun Wedding Photos by Elvis Aceff Cancun based wedding photographer.

Hard Rock Cancun Wedding Photos by Elvis Aceff Cancun Wedding Photographer. Their love story began in high school, where Nick knew from the moment they met that Shay was the one he wanted to love forever. Though her parents were strict about dating, and their timing never quite aligned, Shay always felt the same spark. When they both showed up at homecoming in matching zebra print, she knew he was the one. Years passed, but fate always kept them close, until one day, Shay couldn’t ignore the love that had always been there. She reached out to Nick, and from that moment, their love story truly began. Now, with a beautiful daughter, Riley, and a future full of love ahead, they’re ready to move from matching outfits to matching last names.
“Two hearts, one love, endless memories”

Majestic Elegance Costa Mujeres Wedding | Samantha and Josh’s love story began with a swipe right in 2018, thanks to Hinge. Josh had just bought a house near Philadelphia, and Samantha had recently moved there from NYC — fate (and a good algorithm) brought them within range. Their first date? A Halloween dinner at a Mexican restaurant — the perfect start to a love story rooted in adventure, warmth, and a shared love of food. Over the years, their bond deepened through life’s highs and lows, grounded in their mutual love for family, friends, nature, and cooking. On their five-year anniversary, Josh proposed in the very spot where he first told Samantha he loved her.

Seven years after that Halloween date, they said “I do” in Mexico — a meaningful destination, as it was also the location of their first international trip together to Tulum. The peaceful beauty of the Yucatán coast made the perfect backdrop for the next chapter in their story. Majestic Elegance Wedding Photography by Elvis Aceff Cancun Wedding Photographer

Cancun Wedding Photography for couples deeply in love like Charles and Ruby. This nice couple share a deep passion for travel and outdoor adventures. From snowboarding down the majestic slopes of Colorado to watching sunsets by the ocean or atop a mountain, they find joy in exploring the beauty of nature together. Their wedding in Cancun marked the third celebration of their love story. Ruby, originally from China, and Charles, who made their home together in Boston, first celebrated with family and friends in Ruby’s hometown and then in Boston. What started as a simple plan for an intimate elopement grew into a heartfelt gathering shared with their closest loved ones. The Cancun celebration was particularly memorable for both, offering a peaceful and intimate atmosphere with breathtaking ocean views that made the day truly unforgettable.

Secrets the Vine Cancun Wedding. One of my favorites of the year so far. What a happy couple! Laura and Tim are both obsessed with music, and in particular, the amazing friends they meet along the way at concerts and festivals both near and far. They wanted to throw the biggest dance party for their friends and family, so they invited their new friend Saxsquatch (@saxsquatch), who had recently blown them away at a festival with his bigfoot antics and saxophone madness, down to Cancun to ensure a night no one will soon forget!

Stunning Wedding at Dreams Riviera Cancun. So glad to cover the Destination Wedding of Melissa and Marino, super friendly couple from New York. This newly wed couple met on March 1, 2020, just three weeks before the pandemic began. They found each other on Bumble days before, and have talked every single day since. Their first date was brunch that lasted about nine hours and as many bottles of wine. Even though the world shut down, the relationship remained strong with many wine and cheese movie nights. As COVID subsided, they traveled to Mexico for their one year anniversary- a trip and place that will always hold a special place in their hearts.Days were filled with countless laughs, weekend trips to wineries, concerts, cooking together, holidays and more. As their two year anniversary approached, Melissa made it no secret that Marino was the one. Finally, in the summer of 2022, Marino surprised everyone and proposed at a winery on a perfect sunny afternoon as the on-lookers clapped and cheered. Now, they celebrated with friends and family back in their favorite vacation spot, Mexico, to start life as husband and wife! Congratulations for them I wish the best life.

Planet Hollywood Cancun Wedding Photos. Elvis Aceff wedding photographer for the wedding of Monica and Miguel Angel from Ciudad Juarez Chihuahua. Delighted to have been the photographer for this young couple. I really liked them, they are very friendly. I felt them as if long ago we were already friends. Even though this was the first time I saw them. They sought my photography services because a former client, also from Ciudad Juárez, recommended that I be their wedding photographer. It was a great pleasure covering the wedding, as well as getting to know the new Planet Hollywood Cancun hotel. The wedding day was rainy, so part of the newly wed session was the hotel lobby. Where I had the opportunity to take a photo in one of the cars from the Fast and the Furious movie. Congratulations to Monica and Miguuel Angel for their new life together. I wish to them the best.

The first time I saw them was a year ago in Tulum for their “save the date” session. Now I have the honor to cover the big day the beach wedding date at the Hotel Hard Rock Cancun. This loving couple came with family and friends to spend unforgettable days of celebration and party on the beautiful beaches of Cancun.

The wedding day was great with lots of sun, but as the speeches started it started to rain, but it wasn’t a problem for Cyndle and Mike. But this would not stop them as they have overcome all obstacles to have the wedding of their dreams. The party continued at the Rock Star Saloon, where, between laughter and toasts, they shared the joy with their loved ones. I really enjoy this beautiful marriage bond every moment.  It was great to see so many people surround them with love and support. It was truly an honor to be able to capture Cyndle and Mike’s wedding and we wish them the best. Now I hope to photograph them for the anniversary session or maybe for family session.
