Amanda and Robert chose a breathtaking place with a spectacular view to say I do!!
“We were lucky enough to have David as our photographer for our engagement shoot. He was outgoing, and super patient!
We had a wardrobe change, we were extremely sweaty, and Rob was not feeling well that day… and our pictures still came out so beautiful.
I could tell how creative David was from that 1.5 hour shoot. He got every shot that we asked for, and better than I imagined.
So there really wasn’t much else to think about after that point, we knew we wanted Caribephoto, and we knew we wanted David.”
They met on 2003 in their senior year of high school. Initially nothing had transpired between them but mutual friends and hang outs,
the hang outs eventually fizzled, and it wasn’t until almost a year later that Rob and Amanda met again at a party
and on Valentine’s Day they shared their first kiss and little did they know it would pave the way for a lifelong love.
Some months went by when Amanda couldn’t get enough of Rob (and vice versa) but neither of them could admit it was more
than just a really close friendship. After months of the back and forth, they found themselves in none other than Cancun, Mexico…
both on vacation at the same time with their respective family and friends (Amanda may or may not have orchestrated that).
Anyway it was one fateful night at club “La Boom” when Rob finally admitted to what Amanda had suspected all along…
He was in love, and so was she.
On February 12th, 2015, Rob shocked Amanda with a ring that was better than anything she had imagined in her head.
Almost immediately after, they decided on a destination wedding. They couldn’t picture themselves declaring their everlasting
love anywhere else than on a beach in the Caribbean.
“Getting ready was a pretty good experience. In the beginning, I was very relaxed. Then, as time went by, I could not stop the
butterflies. I was feeling extremely nervous! I had a pit in my stomach. Once we started running out of time, and I felt like we were
rushing, I had less time to think about being nervous. When the girls were done getting ready, and I was in the room waiting to be called,
that’s when the real excitement started. I COULD NOT WAIT to get up and marry my best friend in the entire world.
I just wanted to run up there to the Skydeck.”
They decided to have a Papaya package (6 hrs of photo coverage) plus and additional hour, and 3 hours of video filming.
They had a little over 60 guests. Their both parents and siblings attended, as well as grandparents, aunts,
uncles, cousins, and LOTS of friends.
The ceremony took place in the Skydeck of Azul Sensatori, in Puerto Morelos, Riviera Maya-Mexico.
A jawdropping backdrop to say “I do”
“I think my favorite part was when we kissed, and were announced as Mr. & Mrs for the first time. The music chimed in right at the
perfect moment plus the confetti made it feel like a movie! It was honestly magical.”
I must say there is something extra romantic about the Caribbean sunsets, isn´t it?

Their first dance was full of love at the rhythm of Adele´s “remedy”
Their destination wedding was all carefully planned in mint & gold details. So modern!
