Api and Paul in Los Cabos, Mexico

Api and Paul contacted us last winter with plans for a wedding somewhere in BC.  Finding the right venue was proving tough, but we agreed that we would be available to shoot their wedding whether it be on Vancouver Island or the Mainland.  A few months later they called and told us they definitely wanted us to be their photographers and, "well, we're now thinking 'bout Mexico, would you come?"  The question stopped us in our tracks for a moment.  Had to get our heads around a rather significant change of plan.  Mexico in July!  Why not January?  But, well, they’re so wonderful…...and, super snazzy all-inclusive hotel.... and "Ok, were in"!  Working and partying with Api and Paul and their hilarious sweet families was a great joy, and we took a heckuva lot of photos.

Yes, it was hot in Los Cabos at the amazing Hyatt Ziva.  Crazy hot!  Nearly passed out at the ceremony hot.  But acres of swimming pools, and the best food, and complimentary margaritas!
Events commenced the night before the wedding with a catered meal and dance on the beach.  Api and her family are Persian and if there is one thing that stands out at Persian weddings it's the fabulous dancing!  The ceremony had it's tradition Persian elements, too, as you will see in the photos.
