A Celestial Tulum Elopement in La Valise | Adam and Adriana

September 15, 2021
WEDDING

This beautiful, peaceful elopement set in Tulum, Mexico was a DREAM to capture. It was full of beauty and fun and was a step out of my comfort zone as a photographer. Designed and hosted by the incredible Claire from UK based Butler and White and María from María Límon. This shoot was all about love between two people and the Earth, and it was a pleasure to capture it. 

Tulum, Mexico is the hotspot for small elopement ceremonies. With its outdoor ceremonies, any couple could feel the love felt from the soft waves of the ocean or the soft sand at your feet. It’s paradise on Earth. This elopement can only be described as celestial, influenced by the flow of the universe and the love and beauty of nature. It is a boho wedding mecca for weddings! Tulum, Mexico holds a special place in my heart. I’ve shot many wedding ceremonies and wedding elopements here and every time I have visited, it’s as magical as the first time.

The details in this wedding were EVERYTHING. La Valise, the hotel that became the perfect backdrop for this ceremony was positioned with the beach peeking through, making it the perfect wedding location for the couple. The green palm trees that cascaded behind the lovebirds surrounded them with the perfect beachy backdrop for these photos.

What’s so awesome about this elopement is that every detail you see was made with sustainable material like the ceremony including the tablescapes, recyclable papers and glassware as well as reusing vintage glass and ceramics to tie it all together. The hand dyed cotton table scape as well as napkins gave this wedding a sustainable twist that was also done by Butler & White. The gorgeous sun gold arch the couple shared their “I dos” as well as the dried florals were created by the Floral Queen María Límon. Looking at these photos, that sun gold arch created this sunset feel for the wedding and blended perfectly with the sun setting across the ocean.

With the pandemic now stretching out over a year, elopements and intimate weddings are turning into a good option for couples who don’t want to spend the time planning a bigger wedding. Tulum is a great location to begin the rest of your lives together in an intimate way.

"We are so happy we decided to have Lety capture our wedding."

My husband and I both knew it was very important to have beautiful photos for future memories of our wedding. We are so happy we decided to have Lety capture our wedding as the photos turned out amazing. She was extremely flexible due to covid.

"Would absolutely recommend if you need to book a destination wedding or engagement session.."

Working together was a dream! Her expertise and clarity with shooting and prompts was top notch- you can really tell she has the experience and know how of a seasoned wedding photographer. Would absolutely recommend if you need to book a destination wedding or engagement session. We shot with Lety in NYC and she handled the city like a pro !

"Lety is the vendor I was most confident in."

Working with Lety has been a dream! We booked her for our wedding this past weekend, and had an engagement shoot as well. Lety is so fun to work with, and her work is absolutely gorgeous! A friend even said we should use her photos as wallpaper :)
She makes us feel natural and nothing felt awkward at all
Out of all the vendors I hired, Lety is the vendor I was most confident in - she made it so easy for everyone being photographed feel relaxed and made it fun! Cannot recommend her enough
“If she can make my face look good in photos, she can make you look amazing” -husband

"Working with Lety was a complete dream!!"

From the 1st meeting we had with her, she was super interested in getting to know us as a couple. This shows up in our pictures. She totally nailed our love, and how much we value having fun together. On the day of the wedding, she worked seamlessly with our other vendors and made us feel at ease. When you hire a wedding photographer, you hope that you get a handful of good pictures after the wedding that you like. For us, we have so many beautiful shots, they look like artwork, and I can’t wait to get them hung on walls. Lety takes such pride and dedication in her work. She truly cares about the couples she works with. We loved working with her!
