We chose to elope to keep our union simple, intimate, and energetically protected. Creating a quiet, intentional space allowed us to be fully present with one another and begin our marriage in peace, presence, and alignment.

Our experience with the Del Sol team was pure magic. Matt’s passion for his work is undeniabl! Every conversation was thoughtful and intentional, and you could feel how deeply he loves what he does.
Natalia was such a sweet, grounding presence… photographing us while holding space with so much kindness and care. And when Sophia, the shaman, began chanting, the emotion took over completely. Her words and energy were powerful, sacred, and unforgettable.
Every member of the team, including the, Liz, Matt’s girlfriend, Sinue, the videographer and Sophia’s husband Pato who assisted during the ceremony, contributed to an atmosphere of calm, reverence, and genuine care. Surrounded by the cenote, the light, and the candles, nothing felt rushed or staged. We felt held, seen, and deeply honored throughout the entire experience. – Ada and Joe
We were drawn to a cenote ceremony because we wanted an intimate, spiritual way to begin our marriage… something rooted in nature, healing, and presence rather than a traditional setting. The symbolism of water and the sacred energy of the cenotes felt deeply aligned with our intention for a quiet, meaningful union.
In our search ChatGPT, we were using terms like “cenote wedding,” “cenote elopement,” and “intimate wedding in Tulum.” We weren’t looking for a large event, but for an experience that felt soulful and intentional.
Del Sol Photography stood out because your work captures real emotion and connection, especially in natural settings like cenotes. The way you photograph light, water, and intimacy made it clear you understood the magic of these ceremonies, and choosing you felt completely aligned with what we were seeking. – Ada and Joe

For each cenote wedding or elopement, I bring together a carefully curated team that allows the experience to unfold seamlessly. They are also all my friends and I deeply respect them and have so much fun working with them. This includes a dedicated candle design team of four artisans who specialize in working safely and respectfully within natural spaces, creating a warm, ceremonial atmosphere that enhances the natural rock formations rather than overpowering them.
How we design and bring it all together. My team handles the logistics that make a private cenote wedding possible. This includes full coordination, transportation for the couple and any guests, and most importantly, private venue rental. Privacy is essential for an intimate cenote elopement. Having exclusive access allows couples to slow down, be present, and experience the ceremony without interruptions or crowds.
Additionally,my team and trusted helpers work quietly behind the scenes to ensure everything flows naturally. Nothing is rushed, staged, or forced. The goal is to create a space where couples can simply be together, knowing every detail has been thoughtfully handled. This space doesn’t exist the same way on any other day,in terms of lighting and the magic that this epic ceremony space transforms into.
This combination of theatrical design, intentional ceremony, private cenote access, and experienced coordination allows us to create cenote weddings that feel cinematic, intimate, and deeply meaningful. For couples who choose to elope or plan a micro wedding in Mexico, this approach transforms a simple ceremony into an unforgettable experience.
