Top Tulum Wedding Venues For Your Destination Wedding + Planning Tips
Tulum, Mexico is one of the most sought-after locations for a destination wedding. With its stunning coastline, lush jungles, and vibrant culture, it's no surprise that couples from all over the world choose Tulum to say their vows. To help you plan the perfect Tulum destination wedding, I've rounded up some of the best venues and included some tips for planning.
Best Month For a Destination Tulum Wedding
To avoid crowds and prioritize privacy, don't book your wedding from January through March, as this is peak season. The best months for your destination Tulum wedding are late October through December. The average temperature ranges between 75-76 degrees Fahrenheit (24.5 degrees Celsius), with highs of 85 degrees Fahrenheit (29.5 degrees Celsius) and lows of 67 degrees Fahrenheit (19.5 degrees Celsius). You’re also avoiding hurricane season. (July-October)
Documentary Photography With a Touch of Editorial Posing
If you are having a destination wedding in Tulum, I highly recommend choosing a documentary style wedding photographer with a mix of editorial & natural posing. When the night is over, your wedding photos are the only tangible piece of your wedding memories that you will have left. Hire someone who will provide you with photographs that invoke a feeling of nostalgia.
Documentary style photographers excel at weaving a visual narrative that tells the story of the wedding - from the tender exchanges between the couple to the candid interactions with family and friends. By observing and capturing real emotions and unscripted moments, documentary photographers bring a sense of realism and depth to their work. The resulting images are not only stunning but also serve as timeless reminders of the joy, laughter, and love that transpired on the wedding day.
My personal approach as a destination wedding photographer is documentary-style & intentional.
I absolutely guide, pose and prompt you through portraits with an editorial touch, but I allow intimate moments to happen naturally and organically, without interference - capturing your wedding day in an honest way. My signature editing style is bold, romantic, and true to color, with consistent luxurious tones. A little bit of grain, and a whole lot of detail.
