Riviera Cancun wedding - Now Sapphire

“I always told my fiancé I wanted a puppy with a ring but two weeks before he proposed I threw him for a loop and went out and bought the puppy! On Christmas Eve we were taking a family photo with our new puppy and that’s when I saw her new collar tag that read “Mommy will you marry Daddy” and he got down on one knee! We love our dog Kota and it was important to have her there with us in spirit so the medallion on my bouquet seemed to be the perfect little touch!” – Katie

We LOVE Katie’s little bone bouquet charm – every dog loving bride who can’t bring her pup to her destination this is your cue to Pin that wedding detail!! So many nice details and moments in Katie and Michael’e wedding, we asked them to share their thoughts about the day:

“We actually wrote our entire ceremony, with the help of my mom, as well as our own vows together. We both wanted them to be short, sweet and to the point and that exactly what they were! They summed up our love for one another and made us both smile/cry a bit.” – Katie

“My grandmother was also the one to marry us and that just made the whole ceremony extra special!” – Katie

Del Sol: We always say that we can shoot in any conditions and rain doesen’t scare us – though it scares many brides! Your reception was moved inside but you have your “rain” portrait at the end of the night, tell us about that experience? Should brides be afraid of the rain?!

Katie: “I can’t wait to see those rain photos and I am sure they will be one of our favorites! I would say brides should be more scared of the crazy wind that a tropical rain can cause- that was more frustrating then the rain!!”

“All you can do is enjoy your day and roll with whatever weather is thrown your way!”

Del Sol: How was your experience with Valeria and the del Sol team?

Katie: “The team was great and very professional! I truly can’t wait to see our photos because Valeria was making sure every shot was perfect!”

“I would suggest to other brides to make sure and have written down exactly what photos you don’t want/don’t care about or to have a thorough conversation when the photographer arrives… Be specific about what you want and don’t want upfront!”

Del Sol: Why did you choose Now Sapphire for your destination wedding?

“Our wedding coordinator Juan Carlos was wonderful to work with – incredible actually. He was on top of everything and had a great eye for detail. He will make your wedding stunning and your day go smoothly! We wanted a resort that was on the more intimate side size wise but that would still allow all our guests room to roam. NOW Sapphire had beautiful and open facilities that allowed everyone to gather as a large group without any issues.”

“The staff at the NOW Sapphire is amazing!! Top shelf service! They are accommodating, kind, fun and efficient.”
