The story

After their foggy engagement session in the Bay Area, they brought everyone down to a completely different setting. Warm air, open space, and the hacienda spread across multiple houses and gardens.

In their own place

What made this one specific.

They used the entire property. Silk flags stretched between buildings, coconuts worked into the details, mariachis moving through the space as the day unfolded.

Guests moved between spaces throughout the day, with the architecture and layout shaping how everything flowed rather than forcing it into a single area.

The complete sequence

A real story needs the parts between the portraits.

This wedding story in Mexico is shown as a sequence: the people arriving, the setting taking shape, the ceremony, the reactions around it, and the way the celebration changed afterward. The photographs stay together so the day reads as more than a short highlight reel.

A destination with its own conditions

The hacienda shaped the light, movement, and hospitality.

Hacienda Sac Chich is not a neutral backdrop transported into the Yucatán. Courtyards, stone, tropical heat, indoor-outdoor movement, and evening light change the practical rhythm of the wedding. The photographs follow how guests used those spaces rather than presenting the property as an empty architectural tour.

A destination gallery also has to show why people traveled. Arrival, family, ceremony, food, weather, and the long social hours deserve as much attention as portraits. Keeping those pieces together makes the location feel experienced and lets the wedding remain specific to the people inside it.
