Gina and Ben’s Sandos Caracol Eco Resort Destination Wedding

Some wedding photos, you just look at and think “Damn, that looks like it was a fun party.” Such is the case with Gina and Ben's destination wedding in Playa del Carmen, Mexico at the breathtaking Sandos Caracol Eco Resort. From a mariachi band, sombreros and a piñata (whose decapitated head made it onto the dance floor!), this celebration was one for the books.

And as fun as it obviously was, it was just as heartfelt. The couple included rituals such as a hand-fasting ceremony and the Jewish traditions of circling the groom seven times (which they adapted to suit their love, circling each other three times and twice together), reciting of the seven blessings and breaking of the glass.

Lucky for us, Melissa Mercado Photography and Pure Love Films captured all of the special moments that make our hearts skip a beat.
