Justin and Lani’s Cancun destination wedding day in November was a MUCH anticipated event. After their January engagement session in Chicago, I was so excited to travel to Mexico with them! In addition to completely adoring each other, their chemistry is undeniable. I knew their wedding was going to be good!!

Cancun Destination Wedding

Family and friends traveled from all over to celebrate with these two. Their emotional sunset ceremony overlooking the ocean was memorable for many reasons. For instance, Justin’s face as his bride walked down the aisle had us all in tears. And then, if you can believe it, a rainbow appeared as they exchanged vows! If that’s not a good luck sign on your wedding day, I don’t know what is!

After the ceremony, EVERYBODY was ready to party. Guests celebrated with delicious food, dancing, and tequila throughout the night! We even had the opportunity for a creative night photo on the property. Shout out to the wedding party for helping make this happen… y’all are the best!

Highlights

Some favorite details include Justin’s handmade wedding ring (yep – he MADE it himself) and Lani’s “something borrowed,” bracelets from his grandmother. Justin’s custom suit had lyrics from their favorite song sewn inside. And – the next day we took a boat to Isla Mujeres for the most romantic newlywed session! Check out those photos here 🙂

Lani and Justin: Thanks again for taking me to Mexico with you! This day was such an honor to capture. All my best in your future adventures together.
