A Canadian Couple’s Destination Wedding in Mexico

Amanda and Sequoyah created a day all their own that was reflected in every detail. Amanda custom-made her own stunning wedding dress, isn’t it unbelievable?

Keeping with the theme of a lively, tropical celebration, her bouquet featured colorful florals, accented by memorial charms. This sentimental touch was such a sweet tribute to loved ones.

Their breezy beach ceremony took place under the shade of palm trees. Amanda and Sequoyah exchanged vows with panoramic ocean views and a warm tropical breeze. The officiant wore a tropical button-down, adding a playful touch that totally fit the mood. Every detail felt intentional but effortless, like the best kind of vacation but with all of the romance a wedding brings.
