Hello ladies (and gentlemen of course!). We have just published a new Paradisus La Perla wedding and it was so pretty I just wanted to share a few pics with you to keep you inspired! Jessica and Jay were a terrific couple and we wish them all the best for a long and happy life together! Happy planning!!!

Cherany, thanks soooo much for inviting us to be a part of your big day, it was a joyous celebration of love and we were thrilled to be there! Hope everyone is back in good health! Love and hugs!

With any venue, the ambient lighting sets the mood. Sometimes its as simple as candlelight... lanters, globes, or string lights (very simple) like christmas lights. For very cheap, these kind of lights can make a big big difference if you are interested in the DIY style. OR, the venue will likely have a lighting package (and this may be costly) to have a crew, generator, and special PAR lamps, LED's, and other very bright lamps installed to light each pilar, palapas, etc and of course, a few light stands on the dance floor. This kind of stuff is pretty impt... At the end of the day, we photograph with a style that has light included. We use multiple flashes when photographing couples to be able to make a very dark place look illuminated. So ultimately, we just light what we see, regardless if there is or is not ambient and the photos will turn out fine. Try though if you can to get some ambient lights installed. If you have any vases on the tables and use floating candles, don't fill them with water to the top because the wind will blow them out. If you can, find WHITE christmas lights to string around... the bigger the lamps, the more light output. Get creative if you can! Good luck! matt
