Paradisus Wedding with an Epic First Look

You can see Ashley and Matt’s Wedding Highlights Video here

“We decided very early on in our relationship that a traditional wedding just wasn’t for us. The thought of being able to get married in a beautiful place, not too far of a trip from home, and in front of our closest family and friends was why we ultimately chose a destination wedding. “

“The thought of having 70 people make that trip to share the most special day of our lives was so special and surreal.”

“We chose to do the first look because we are both very emotional to begin with and wanted to be able to make it through the ceremony without crying the whole time and ruining the pictures haha!”

“We didn’t expect the first look to be so special, but WOW did it surprise us! It was such an amazing moment and something we will never forget for the rest of our lives! The love we got to share between us two in that very second when he turned around took our breath away! Everyone should get that first look! It really really set the tone for the rest of the day! It was Amazing!!!”

“The best parts throughout the day varied! The bridal suite at Paradisus was awesome, it was fun to get ready with all the girls in such a fun setting! The reception was just as fun too! Dezibel Entertainment did not disappoint! They kept everyone up and moving from the first song!

“We absolutely LOVED our photographers! They didn’t overwhelm us or make us feel like we were posing the whole time and really let us do our thing! That was exactly what we wanted! All in all our wedding was exactly what we dreamed of and more! Thank you to Martina and Del sol for being such A huge part of a Fantastic day!!”
