Despite the tropical heat, the day flowed seamlessly with the Baraat procession, Jaimala garland exchange, and Pheras around the sacred fire. The ocean backdrop added magic to every candid and posed shot.

Reception: Joyful Toasts, Dancing, and a Same-Day Edit Surprise

The evening featured heartfelt toasts, Bollywood dancing, and our same-day edit video that moved guests to tears.

What Reuben & Jenna Said: Their Google Review

“We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Vincent and the entire Pixan Photography team for capturing the most beautiful memories of our wedding at Barceló Maya Palace. From start to finish, your warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail made all the difference – not just for us, but for all our family and friends who felt incredibly comfortable in your presence.

Our Pithi celebrations were full of energy, colour, and laughter. One of the most memorable moments was the tug of war between the bride’s and groom’s sides, a brilliant suggestion from your team that brought out so much fun and friendly competition. It truly helped set the tone for a weekend filled with joy and connection, and the photos from that day captured every vibrant moment perfectly.

On the wedding day, despite the heat, Vincent and his team were incredibly composed and attentive. You moved seamlessly throughout the day, capturing every emotional and candid moment. We felt completely at ease knowing we were in such capable hands, and the results speak for themselves; each image brings back the love and magic we felt.

One of the standout highlights for us and our guests was the same-day edit you put together, showcasing our wedding events at the reception. It was such a thoughtful and touching surprise, and it left our friends and family both emotional and amazed. The reactions in the room said it all, and we truly appreciate the extra effort your team put in to make that possible.

When the reception was met with an unexpected downpour, the team adapted instantly. You relocated everything indoors with complete professionalism, making sure nothing was missed. Thanks to your flexibility and calm approach, everything continued smoothly, and the indoor shots turned out just as stunning.

We now have a breathtaking collection of memories to look back on for the rest of our lives, and that’s all thanks to the incredible passion, creativity, and heart you brought to each part of our celebration. We genuinely could not have asked for a better team.

Jenna & Reuben”
