Zach and Abby A Destination Wedding Weekend at Isla Mujeres Resort Cancún, Mexico | February 25, 2025
A Destination Wedding Centered on Family and Celebration Zach and Abby traveled from Texas to Cancún, Mexico for a destination wedding that felt less like a single day and more like a full weekend celebration with the people they love most. While they now live in Texas, both Zach and Abby are originally from Montana, and Mexico has always held deep meaning for Abby and her family. Cancún and Isla Mujeres have long been a gathering place for them, somewhere familiar and deeply connected to family history. When it came time to choose a wedding location, it felt obvious. This weekend would likely be the last time everyone could come together for a large family reunion, and they wanted it to be meaningful. Not formal. Not restrained. Just a joyful, unforgettable weekend spent together in a place that already felt like home. From the very beginning, Zach and Abby knew exactly what they wanted their wedding to feel like. Fun. High energy. A celebration where everyone showed up fully and stayed present from start to finish.
A Weekend That Began at the Water The celebration began with a full rehearsal day at Isla Mujeres Resort, setting the tone for everything that followed. The day unfolded as an all day beach party. Swimming, tanning, relaxing, and drinking together under the sun. Guests moved freely between the water and the resort, soaking in the warmth and the ease of being together with no schedule to follow. There were no speeches and no formal moments. Just laughter, connection, and the kind of joy that comes from being exactly where you want to be, surrounded by people who feel like family.
Why Film Mattered to Them For Zach and Abby, wedding film was essential. They chose both photography and videography because they wanted to capture every part of their weekend. Not just the big moments, but the in between ones. The moments they didn’t even realize were happening while they were busy laughing, dancing, and celebrating. They wanted to be able to hit play and relive the entire experience again and again. To see how much fun everyone had. To remember the energy, the movement, and the joy that filled every part of the weekend. They were drawn to something upbeat and true to who they are. A film that felt alive. A film that reflected their personalities and the way they live life together.
Wedding Morning at Isla Mujeres Resort On the morning of the wedding, Zach and Abby got ready in separate rooms at the resort. The energy throughout the morning was fun and electric. Everyone was excited. The boys got ready together, laughing and feeding off each other’s energy, while Abby got ready alongside her bridesmaids and her mom, the room buzzing with anticipation. There was no nervousness. Just excitement. The feeling that something big and joyful was about to happen.
A Ceremony by the Sea Zach and Abby were married at the Isla Mujeres gazebo, just steps from the beach. They loved the idea of being so close to the ocean, with the sound of the waves carrying through their ceremony. Zach’s dad officiated, making the moment even more personal. They exchanged personal vows that reflected their lives together and the deep connection they share. As filmmakers, it was impossible not to feel the emotion radiating through the space. Guests cried. Guests smiled. The love surrounding Zach and Abby was palpable.

A Moment to Take It All In Even in a weekend defined by celebration and high energy, Zach and Abby took time for themselves. They walked along the beach during portraits, laughing and soaking in the reality of being married. Later, they sat together in the gazebo, taking a quiet breath before stepping back into the party. These moments felt comfortable and grounding. Just the two of them being fully themselves. Quiet moments like these matter in wedding storytelling because they show the heart of a relationship. The ease. The joy. The way two people naturally choose each other.
A Celebration That Never Slowed Down The reception at Isla Mujeres Resort quickly turned into a full blown celebration. The energy was wild, joyful, and completely unfiltered. It felt like a mix of spring break and the biggest party of your life. Everyone was all in. There were first dances and parent dances, but the night quickly shifted into nonstop movement. During speeches, guests joked that Abby had stolen their best friend, a moment that perfectly captured the love and loyalty surrounding Zach. The night ended the only way it could. Dancing until no one had anything left to give.
What Made This Weekend So Unique This wedding stood out because it was about living fully in the moment. It was a multi day celebration centered on joy, connection, and having an incredible time together. There were no obstacles that shaped the story, no challenges that defined the weekend. Just people choosing to celebrate without holding back. Zach and Abby are the life of the party. They are people who love deeply, laugh loudly, and live life to the fullest together. Years from now, we hope their film brings them right back to the feeling of that weekend. The happiness. The energy. The love that surrounded them from start to finish. This wedding represents the kind of stories we love to tell because when love is this visible, when you can feel it in the room, capturing it becomes something truly special.
