They Ran Into The Ocean…
Do you think the weather will be ok? It sucks that we can never know for sure here – forecasts are unpredictable, and localised, it can be raining like crazy but drive a mile down the road and it’s sunshine. It’s the only time I’ve ever experienced literally seeing the line of rain in front of you on the highway and driving in and out of underneath the cloud.So if you decide to get married in the Mexican Caribbean you have to be open to the fact that it may rain. OR even better be like K+E and, when it gets stormy half way through your ceremony, cancel your vows (they’re really good – everyone’s going to cry – I’ll do them in the reception) then run with all your guests into the ocean.
And that’s why I ended up showering off my trousers by the beach, and why everyone was wearing different outfits for the reception, and why K+E exchanged vows over cake. Perfectly chaotically awesome.
I booked Polly for my wedding, and the experience was absolutely amazing from start to finish! I was referred to her by another bride who sang her praises and directed me to Polly’s website. After seeing her work, I reached out through her contact form and received an email back the next day.
After exchanging several emails (all of which she responded to promptly), I secured my booking. Before the big day, Polly took the time to get to know us and understand our vision. She was very thorough and worked hard to build a genuine connection beforehand.
Polly was friendly, patient, organized, and honestly just a pleasure to work with. She even managed to gain the trust of my husband, who is normally very camera-shy.
During our outdoor wedding, the most unfortunate thing happened… it rained. Rather than running to hide like a videographer (from a different company) did, Polly didn’t skip a beat and continued shooting. When my wedding party and I decided to jump into the ocean, Polly followed right along! She turned what could’ve been a disaster of a ceremony into an unforgettable experience.
During the reception, Polly pulled my husband and me out for short bursts of time, which made the photography portion of the evening feel much less daunting. After the wedding, we received a preview within a week, and the final gallery arrived much sooner than expected.
We were absolutely thrilled with the results. As everyone says, your wedding day is a blur; but thanks to Polly’s incredible photos, I can relive every moment and notice the smallest details.
I highly recommend Polly!
