Yanell and Steve had their wedding at the Cabo Azul Resort in San Jose del Cabo, needless to say they had such a beautiful wedding at this romantic location.
The wedding was coordinated by Varinia from Allure Events who I have to personally thank for all of her hard work and excellent job, even with the windy day we had.
And this is Steve right before the ceremony and as you can see he was ready!

I love the dress!

This is a beautiful location to consider for a Cabos wedding, specially because of the staff who was very nice at all times.
My special thanks to the Bride and Groom for choosing me and for al the fun moments we had during the big day

“Manuel, me dejaste con la boca abierta! WOW! I never doubted you, but my gosh, you are a genius! Gracias!”  Yanell (The Bride)

I can’t say enough about how beautiful and fun this wedding was. The location, the people, the love, the joy, the band… every little thing was spectacular!!

Regardless of the more than 200 guests and the thousands of pictures I took, I also took a time to enjoy the great music the band was playing and why not? I danced too

This is Kyle, the groom, an excellent person and new friend.

After a week full of rain and a lot of prayers, just a few hours before the ceremony began the sky cleared up creating a precious sunny afternoon.  It was meant to be.  Christine and the bridesmaids look amazing.

And suddenly while we walked back to the reception area, Christine started dancing and turning around while Kyle played his Romeo move and admired her.

Christine and Kyle made it easy for me being very cooperative and fun!  You can truly see the love in their pictures.

I had to take a flight to Chicago, where I met Beth Dalton of For You, I Do.   We drove for several hours and arrived to this cute little Swedish town called Door County, Wisconsin where the people are so welcoming and warm.

What a wonderful time during my entire stay!   Thanks Christine and Kyle!

The wedding took place at the Gordon Lodge property in Baileys Harbor.  The staff was amazing and everybody had a wonderful time.

I had the honor and pleasure to travel to Playa del Carmen to be on Sheridan and Mohit’s Wedding taking these pictures, I hope you like them. (Click on the images to enlarge)
“There are moments in one’s life when no words could ever come close to describing the love, joy and happiness you feel.

My husband and I were fortunate enough to have just spent a week full of such moments, as we celebrated our wedding in the beautiful Mayan Riviera.

The Azul Sensatori resort was the perfect background for our 109 person, three day wedding celebration.  The staff was amazing and we couldn’t have asked for more.

Being from two different cultural backgrounds, Mohit and I chose to incorporate two wedding ceremonies into our festivities.

Friday we hosted a Hindu fire ceremony where not only the bride and groom, but many of our guests, wore traditional Indian attire.  It was an amazing cultural experience for everyone. (Friday pictures coming soon)

Then came Saturday, our big white wedding honoring my Christian beliefs.  Later that night guests enjoyed a reception complete with food, drinking and dancing.

The finale of the evening was a huge splash as the entire wedding party, including myself, jumped into the pool in our wedding clothes.  I mean you only wear the dress once…might as well have fun in it!

Last but not least, Manuel…you did an amazing job!  We can’t tell you how much we loved working with you and how grateful we are you came all the way to the Azul to capture our special moments.

You had such great attention to detail and your creativity was endless.  You made everyone feel so beautiful.   Thank you a million times over!”    Sheridan Burman – June 2010

Last month I met Amber and Robert on their engagement photography session in downtown San Jose del Cabo.
We did the “Art Walk”  in San Jose and were surprised of so many nice galleries and restaurants we use for this session.
One of the Restaurants we visited was “Mi Casa” where we were treated excellent and had a delicious Margarita  :)
The restaurant is the new “Mi Casa” in San Jose del Cabo and let me tell you is the perfect place for your welcome dinner of your wedding.
Love is in the air…
We even took this picture at the door of El Palacio de Gobierno.
Thank you Amber and Robert, not only for the margarita, but for all the fun we had together.

If there was ever a day in our lives we felt most alive, it was undoubtedly our wedding day. Our amazing wedding at the stunning Esperanza Resort was everything we dreamed….and more. A sunset ceremony followed by cocktails on the beach was the perfect setting to begin the celebration with our 60 guests.
Following a 3-course dinner on one of Esperanza’s beautiful terraces, the evening continued with cigars, cake, fireworks and lots of dancing. Sarai Flores of Signature Weddings coordinated all the details and the day was flawless.
There is no other photographer than Manuel Burgoin to capture those moments. From our first meeting with him, we felt a connection with him, not just as clients, but friends. Manuel really puts his heart and soul into his photos and his passion and talent really shine through.
He was amazing with the kids and our guests just adored him. Manuel’s artistic abilities speak for themselves and we would highly recommend him. We have LOTS of fabulous photos and couldn’t be more ecstatic!

We LOVE our photos and book and can’t wait to work with you again Manuel! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Sarah and Jared – November 14, 2009
“First let me say that it was such a pleasure having you as our wedding photographer.  Jared and I were both extremely comfortable during our photography session on our wedding day, and you have mastered the fine art of capturing all the special moments of a wedding without making anything feel “manufactured”.
On our wedding day, we both felt and said to each other that we were so glad we had hired you!  Also, I have to tell you how many compliments we have received on the photos you posted to your blog.  We love them!  And, of course, we are now so excited to see the rest of the photos.  I’m sure they will be amazing.
Thank you so much, Manuel, we truly appreciate your efforts in making our pictures look fabulous!”   Sarah + Jared
“Blue Sea Development is exquisite.   This is a modern, private, and serene location for a wedding.  My clients, Jared and Sarah Decker of Dallas, were recently married at Villa Annie Lie on Saturday, November 14, 2009. From the moment they stepped into this amazing villa, spotting the Sea of Cortez just passed the infinity pool; they knew this would be the wedding of their dreams.  With a beach ceremony, beach cocktail hour and terrace reception, guests enjoyed the convenience of the entire night in one private location.
Whether Villa Annie Lie, Villa Amanda or Villa Serena…you cannot go wrong with a properties managed by Lifestyle Management Services. Mariachis, fireworks, and a great DJ ensured this wedding was full of surprises for the guests and wonderful key moments. Hands on service from Villa Specialist, Susana Martin and Villa Concierge Adan guarantees your stay will be nothing short of amazing.”

After several months of consideration, Scott and I chose to get married at the Sheraton in Cabo San Lucas.  We discussed with several of our friends who had gotten married in Cabo, and we decided to contact Manuel.  After exchanging several emails, we knew Manuel would be our photographer.  He is super nice and easy to talk to.
We knew from looking at his portfolio that he would be great but we also wanted someone who would make it a fun experience as well.  And we found all that and more in Manuel.  He made us feel very comfortable and we felt like we were working with a friend who was as excited about our wedding and taking our pictures as we were.
His artistic skills were apparent with each and every shot.  We had a lot of problems with our wedding coordinator and Manuel even stepped in to help us out.  He helped our groomsmen pin their boutonnières on!

Manuel, you are truly amazing and we cannot wait to see the pictures.
We truly appreciate you and we have been raving about you to anyone who is willing to listen.  Thank you for being a part of the happiest day of our lives!!

We were married at the Riu Palace on November 6, 2009, our 8 year anniversary.
Our day began early at 6:00 am with hair and makeup, but exceeded all of our expectations.  Our amazing ceremony was on the beach in front of the famous arch and was followed by at private photo session for us and drinks at the bar for our guest.  We then had our first dance with music played by our wonderful friend, Jacob.
After drinks we enjoyed dinner and wedding cake at Mar De Cortes steak house restaurant. Our night ended with a bash at the legendary Cabo Wabo. Our wedding day was everything we could have ever hoped for and we are thankful for everyone who helped make it possible.
As for our photographer, where do I even begin, over a year ago when we decided to have a destination wedding, we then began our search not for the perfect place, but for the perfect photographer to capture our memories.  After weeks of searching we decided on Manuel and have not regretted it since.
A few weeks before our wedding we encountered a few problems getting Manuel to our resort, but he was very understanding and quick to adjust his day to accommodate us. We were very excited to finally meet him.  Manuel, your energy and enthusiasm for photography are amazing.

You made us feel comfortable and it seemed like you were just as happy as we were that our big day was finally here.  We cannot wait to see our photos because we know they will be incredible. Thank you for everything!!

We decided to do our wedding in Los Cabos, Mexico at the Dreams Resort.  Almost 100 of our closest friends and family flew in from all parts of the US and we even had some international guests join us.  It was a traditional Hindu wedding ceremony followed by a cocktail hour and a reception.

The weather was perfect and the mood was festive and joyous.  Everyone enjoyed the great food, the dancing, and the most amazing FIREWORKS under the stars and right next to the beach. It truly was a dream wedding!

This is an amazing hotel and the staff is beyond great. Each and every one of our guests enjoyed being there.  Everyone just ate, drank and relaxed with absolutely no worries of the world.

We worked with Manuel Burgoin as our photographer.  After seeing his work and speaking to him over the phone, there was no doubt in our minds that we wanted him to shoot our wedding.  He showed up with two assistants to ensure every special moment was caught.  He was punctual, had studied the detailed schedule previously agreed to and kept us on time.

Additionally, he was very accommodating when it came to the various types of pictures and backgrounds we wanted.  His experience and eye for photography became very clear throughout the evening.  Now we can’t wait to see the pictures as they are going to be sent to friends and family all over the world!
