Cenotes, Changos and Sol – OH MY!

Wow!  How cool was this?!?  While we were down in Mexico, Mel and I were lucky enough to hang out with Sol Tamargo (our wedding photographer….minus Matt – he was shooting weddings in Atlanta).  We went for lunch at one of her favourite restaurants in Playa del Carmen, La Cueva del Chango.  I am a big fan of french toast and Sol highly recommended it.  Even though it was lunch I still ordered it 🙂 …it was probably some of the best french toast I’ve ever had!

Here are some photos taken around Playa del Carmen.  Mel and I really loved this city.  It’s sooo big! 

A couple days later we met with Sol for a Cenote adventure.  Cenotes are underground water caves.  These were absolutely amazing!  Sol and Matt have done some really cool Trash The Dress photography in them. 

Our guide told us that these Cenotes were over a million years old and only discovered 4 years ago.  If you are claustrophobic – I wouldn’t recommend these! 

On our walk to the Cenotes we came across the changos (monkeys in Spanish).  Of course we had to stop!  Sol captured some images for us on my camera.

   

 This one had an itch and wanted Mel and I to scratch it 🙂

Okay – now onto the Cenotes!

This is the best shot from my underwater disposable camera.  Mel and I are snorkeling away 🙂

Mel, myself and Sol.

Thanks Sol for taking the time out of your busy schedule to hang out with Mel and me.  We had such a blast!

Nicole & Marcus Trash The Dress

We just returned from our trip to Mexico.  And this is a perfect example of why it’s never too late to trash that dress 🙂  Nicole and Marcus were married a few years ago in the winter back in Canada.  Here are some of the photos I shot at the Barcelo Resort and the resort next to us, that was hit pretty hard by the hurricanes last summer.  It was never repaired, but we used their pier for some shots. 

Nicole and Marcus were huge sports!  We had a lot of fun!  The nice thing about being down south is the water never really gets cold, even at night.

Our wedding photo in a magazine?!?

I was pleasantly surprised today to hear from our own wedding photographers (Matt Adcock and Sol Tamargo) that our wedding photo is featured in Photoshop User Magazine!  One of my favourite photos of my wife Mel laying in the sand can be found in the two page spread on Trashing The Dress.
