So remember a few months ago when Nira and I blogged behind the scenes of a destination wedding we did at the Rosewood Mayakoba in Playa del Carmen,  Mexico?

Mark and Jessica’s Mexico beach wedding was the perfect opportunity to use these lights. They were strung over the reception tables. Tables which were just a handful of feet […]

Q. What is the most unexpected thing that has happened on the day of a client’s wedding?A. I had a groom get tangled up on the dance floor with his six year old niece and in trying to prevent her from getting hurt he completely dislocated his kneecap as he fell down. As awful as […]
