Jen & Josh, I don’t even know where to begin with your magical JW Marriott Los Cabos wedding weekend!!! From the rehearsal dinner and welcome party on Friday night, to parties by the pool and finally you two saying “I do” on Saturday on a patio overlooking the Pacific Ocean, your weekend was perfect from start to finish.
The party started on Friday evening when all of their family and closest friends headed to the quaintest area in San Jose del Cabo for their welcome dinner at La Revolucion Comedor. Jen and Josh gave a welcome speech and then Josh went around the room and gave each person there a personalized thank you telling each and every one of them how special they were to them. After dinner, everyone headed to the rooftop bar upstairs for the welcome party where all 75 of Jen & Josh’s guests came to celebrate with them the night before the wedding!
The next morning, Jen & Josh’s wedding day started bright and early! Jen and her bridesmaids got ready in her suite while Josh, his groomsmen and a bunch of the wedding guests lounged at the pool! Once hair & make-up were done for the girls, Jen’s mom and sister helped her into her stunning lace beaded dress. Jen’s niece and stepdaughter helped her with her shoes and after some stunning bridal portraits, we headed out for bridesmaids photos and then the first look!! Josh was waiting for Jen in a lush courtyard on the property and as Jen walked down the stairs leading to him and rounded the corner, the biggest smile broke out on her face!! After wandering around the resort taking photos in the beautiful Mexican sun, it was time for the ceremony. Jen walked down the aisle towards Josh with her dad as an acoustic guitarist filled the air with song. Josh’s brother officiated and it was such a beautiful ceremony filled with so much emotion. At one point I looked out at the guests and so many of them were wiping tears away from their eyes. My favorite part of the ceremony was after Jen & Josh were pronounced husband and wife, Josh’s son ran up to them & pulled them apart and said no kissing!! Everyone laughed and it was such a sweet moment!!
As the bride & groom exited the ceremony and headed to the beach for sunset portraits in the last little bit of daylight, guests mingled on the patio for cocktail hour. The reception got started shortly after with a big group tequila shot which also served as everyone’s escort card! Their JW Marriott Los Cabos wedding reception took place in the Café des Artistes on the property which was such a beautiful open air venue that looked out into the ocean. Their decor matched the location perfectly, with lots of ocean blue hues and tons of greenery with pops of white! The table runners were a traditional Mexican woven design, and that, along with the tequila shot placards, helped tie the destination into the reception so perfectly!! Jen’s dad gave the first toast followed by Jen’s Maid of Honor and Josh’s Best Man. Once dinner was finished, the party got started on the dance floor & it was packed all night long! By the end of the night, everyone ended up in the waterfall that was attached to the dance floor before heading out to the after party!!
Jen & Josh, I had a wonderful 4 days down in Mexico celebrating your wedding weekend with you! Your family and friends are so wonderful and care so much about the two of you and after being brought into your family for the weekend, I was so sad to say goodbye!! Thank you both for trusting me to be the one to tell the story of your day and I hope you love and cherish these photos forever!! Much love, Jen. xx
