Casa Mezcal.. I mean Casa Malca Wedding in Tulum

Casa Malca, once the grounds of the home to the infamous Pablo Escobar with only a few walls still standing, is now a very fancy boutique hotel with its own private beach on the southern end. Pao & Nic’s wedding was going to be a really big one with loads of people and tons of beautiful details, Mike and I shot this one together which is a rare occurrence but we love it when it happens. 

to this day, Paos' gown is still one of my favorites. it was a stunning sequin wrap dress that had a nude mesh bodysuit that buttoned up with a dozen or so pearls (insane) built into the gown, so no underthings were required, which allowed the gown to hang perfectly and securely on her. fucking genius. 

this wedding was an absolute banger. everyone was dressed to the nines, intoxicated by the salty air, dancing on the sand under the stars with only fog and lasers to guide their way to the mezcal bar. towards the end of the night, we found pao & nic & a bottle of champagne in the Keith Haring bar. enough said - I'll let the pictures do the talking from here on out.
