At DreamArt Photography, we specialize in both lifestyle and wedding photography across luxury destinations in Mexico, Jamaica and Costa Rica. Our expert photographers capture each client’s unique story with elegance and soul.
1.) Nature as the Ultimate Venue
In an age defined by digital saturation and fast-paced living, many couples around the globe are seeking wedding experiences that offer a deeper connection to the world around them. When you choose the beach as your wedding venue, you’re not just picking a location… you’re embracing a living canvas.
It’s true that the palm-lined vistas and soft sand offer a dreamlike aesthetic that is impossible to recreate indoors. From the Riviera Maya’s iconic Caribbean coastlines to the secret Costa Rican coves, we love working with what nature offers. In recent years, the luxury wedding world has seen a shift towards experience-based weddings. Couples are trendily trading ballrooms for sea breezes. From eco-conscious setups to minimalist barefoot ceremonies, nature-cantered weddings have an intimate and modern feel to them.
Our seasoned Mexico, Costa Rica, and Jamaica photographers are able to capture it all with a cinematic touch.
2.) Sunset Ceremonies: A Golden-Hour Dream
There is truly nothing as magical as saying ‘I do’ as the sun dips below the horizon. A sunset beach wedding ceremony wraps your vows in a soft golden glow! The ambiance casts a warmth over the celebration that creates an ethereal atmosphere. At DreamArt Photography, we’ve captured thousands of sunset shoots across our different luxury locations. Our expert photographers enjoy making use of the magical lighting to enhance skin tones, textures, and mood to craft awe-inspiring photography. Interested in the magic of golden hour? Read our blog on why sunset is one of the most beautiful times for photography. Whether your ceremony begins just before sundown, or you plan a twilight shoot after your vows, the results are always guaranteed to be beautifully romantic.
3.) A Destination That Doubles as a Honeymoon - The All-in-One Celebration!
One of the main reasons couples are flocking to beach weddings in 2025, is the beautiful convenience of having your ceremony and honeymoon in the same breath-taking location. Destination weddings allow couples to dive straight into celebration. With a beach wedding, there is no post-wedding travel stress or airports in wedding attire. Instead the relaxation is immediate! Many of our couples extend the celebration with day-after photo shoots, pre-wedding dinners, or family photoshoots poolside at their resort.
In fact - this isn’t just a passing trend. According to The Knot 2024 Real Weddings Study, nearly 1 in 5 couples now opt for a destination wedding. In the Caribbean specifically, the trend is soaring. At the moment, the region is the #1 most popular choice for American couples planning a wedding abroad, with Jamaica, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic ranking among the top 5 locations. In fact, the Caribbean wedding industry was valued over $2.5 billion USD in recent years and continues to grow steadily.
So, why the popularity? Couples are looking for experiences over extravagance, and the Caribbean happens to deliver both.
4.) Your Vision, Our Craft
We know that every beach wedding is different. Some couples prefer barefoot elegance with minimalist touches, others opt for full-scale luxury with curated decor and entertainment. DreamArt Photography offers flexible, à la carte packages and collaborative planning, tailored to reflect your unique wedding style. Whether it’s a chic sunset shoot, an underwater trash-the-dress moment, or a vibrant family portrait session the next morning, we build your photography experience around your celebration.
