Cabo is where we took our first trip together and really fell in love, so we felt it was only fitting to get married in our special place. Did you do a first look before the ceremony? Did your wedding have a theme? If so, how did you choose it? When we think of Cabo, we think of joy, color, fun, warmth, and love. If no, why?

Think of the arrival of the maid of honour, or the First Look, the arrival of the guests, dinner, opening dance, etc. Your photographer and/or videographer also need to know how many guests will be at which part of the day. For example, the First Look, the ceremony, and the cake cutting.

If you’re looking for two cool people to shoot your wedding/event, Nick and Hannah are them. My husband and I consider ourselves not to be photogenic people, so we were really worried about our photos looking awkward or too posed. She worked great alongside our videographer and was super professional.
