Some love stories are worth every mile. As their Barceló Maya wedding videographer, we had the honor of filming the day Kylie and Andrew turned seven and a half years of love into forever — barefoot on the sand, beneath the palm trees she adores, with the Riviera Maya shimmering behind them.
Where It Began
High school friends who became college sweethearts, Kylie and Andrew arrived at their wedding day already fluent in each other. Two cats, countless road trips, and a shared love of new coffee shops and long hikes — theirs is a life built on adventure and quiet devotion in equal measure.
Getting Ready
The morning unfolded in soft light and easy laughter. Kylie prepared alongside her bridesmaids and both mothers, while Andrew shared the quieter, funnier moments with his groomsmen and father — including a celebratory lift or two.
A First Look Before the Vows
Before the day opened up, the couple stole a private first look — a single, unhurried moment that set the tone for everything to come.
A Barefoot Ceremony at Captain Morgan Beach
At five o’clock, they exchanged vows on the sand, framed by swaying palms and a colorful aisle of florals. The officiant — someone dear to them both — spoke words that felt written for this exact shore. Surrounded by just twenty-four of their closest people, it was intimate in the truest sense.
Golden Hour by the Sea
As the light turned to honey, we slipped away for portraits among the palm trees, then rejoined everyone for a cocktail hour with the ocean as the soundtrack.
Celebrating Under the Stars
The reception glowed beneath string lights at Captain Morgan Grill Terrace — a first dance, tender father-daughter and mother-son dances, heartfelt speeches, and a dance floor that refused to empty.
From Your Barceló Maya Wedding Videographer
Days like this are why we do what we do. As a Barceló Maya wedding videographer, there’s nothing quite like a celebration this honest and this joyful. If you’re dreaming of a beachfront wedding in the Riviera Maya, we would love to tell your story, too.
