Our gorgeous bride Susan was hesitant to use her original wedding dress for the shoot, so she brought along a second-hand dress that was perfect for rolling in the sand and waves and floating in the cenote with her handsome groom Randy. In the cenote, she discovered that the dress didn’t quite fit and she ended up swimming right out of it. This incident of pure chance led to some of the sexiest photos ever, leading to birth of the idea for “Adam Eve Photographs – a real innovation in wedding photography, says the Huffington Post who calls Del Sol “Wedding Trailblazers” for their creating a niche with couplas and their sexy side using underwater photography.

That’s the idea behind “Adam and Eve” photo shoots, a new offering from wedding photographer Matt Adcock and his team at Del Sol Photography. Surrounded by the natural beauty of the “cenotes,” or underground rivers, in the caves of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, couples slip out of their clothes and into the water for the ultimate romantic (and sexy) photo shoot.
We spoke with Adcock about the inspiration behind the photos, how to capture the perfect couple shot and how he gets his clients to look so graceful underwater.

What’s the best thing for two hot-and-heavy newlyweds to do post-wedding? Get naked and do a photo shoot, naturally.

How do the shoots work –- what’s it like shooting underwater?
None of our brides or grooms are models, and that’s the most challenging issue. None of them know how to hold their bodies or move their arms or face. We’re constantly directing these people: “OK, open your eyes” and “Don’t do that” and “OK, you’re covering your arm” and “Oops, wardrobe malfunction, pull up the dress.” [That’s] coupled with water temperatures that are 62, 65 degrees — it’s cold. So it’s challenging to get what we want without, I don’t want to say killing them, but we are pushing them to their limits. And there is a current in these underground rivers, so these brides are fighting against the current. We mostly work in the safe places where you can stand, but we have a rescue swimmer at every shoot. A lot of times we’re having to throw our cameras down and save the bride because her crinoline’s wrapped around her legs. – Matt
