Engagement Portraits at Tulum, Mexico – Carla + Jay

Nature conspired to bring us the perfect Engagement portraits at Tulum! I traveled down to the boho-chic beach town of Tulum, two hours south of Cancun, for this photo shoot with engaged couple Carla and Jay, and everything was just perfect: the ocean, the sand, the jungle… and the huge smiles on the couple’s faces.

With its stunning natural surroundings and unbelievable white sand beaches, Tulum provides plenty of idyllic backdrops for a romantic photo shoot. The color of the water here is slightly less intense than the blues of Cancun’s beaches, but every bit as beautiful and with all kinds of coastal wildlife.

Not only did Carla and Jay want some romantic engagement photos on the beach, but we also made sure to include a few “Save the Date” images in anticipation of the big day! Some lovely photo shoot props added extra color and fun to our natural “set” that Jay actually hand-made all of the signs for Carla.

What I loved most about Carla and Jay is how they just can’t stop smiling around each other. It’s easy to see that they’re going to have a life overflowing with love and happiness. In fact, they tell me that now they are married AND have a beautiful baby girl! Congrats, Carla and Jay!
