Working with Danielle for our Wedding was a dream. She took the time to get to know exactly the style of wedding photos we were looking for, and she delivered exactly that. Danielle had fun ideas for different staged photos, and also got lots of amazing candid pictures of everyone having fun. Danielle was on time and  fun to work with, she had our 'sneak peek' photos to us 2 days after the wedding, which meant we were able to use them on our thank you cards. As for the rest of the photos it only took about 8 weeks to get, from what I've heard a lot of people wait 3-4 months for wedding photos so we happy to have them so fast! Danielle went above and beyond for us, I would definitely recommend her to anyone!

Danielle Blancher was our wedding photographer in 2015. Four years later I still get compliments all the time on the amazing images she took. From the most candid moments to the most arranged; She thought outside the box for every one of them. Street art, bar scenes, street cars, "True Toronto" and the passion of the day came to life with her images. I wish I could live it all over again! It was exactly what we had envisioned when considering our wedding photographer. Danielle listened to my goals as a bride, she ensured that the "must have" shots were taken  and peppered that with the most brilliant inclusive, honest, hilarious and cherished images of our families, the guests, the staff, the food, and of course the party!

Danielle is the most professional and talented photographer. The photos are beautiful and exceeded every expectation. Danielle is kind, funny and made us feel incredibly comfortable. Her prices are fair and she was so happy to answer all of our (many) questions. We cannot wait to work with her again in the near future. Thanks again, Danielle. ❤

This girl is the best. Great eye and great time working with her! Would definitely recommend :)

With over a decade of experience in the industry, I've seen my fair share of 'I dos' in a variety of venues, and today, I'd love to share my top picks with you.
&nbsp;
First, let's head to the heart of Playa Del Carmen. Here, you'll find the stunning <a href="https://www.banyantree.com/mexico/mayakoba/weddings-honeymoons" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Banyan Tree Mayakoba</a>. This venue is a luxury paradise that's perfect for larger wedding parties. Imagine saying your vows surrounded by crystal clear lagoons and lush mangroves, it's a sight to behold.
&nbsp;
If you're planning a more intimate affair, <a href="https://www.venuereport.com/venue/la-pasion-colonial-hotel-boutique-by-bunik/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">La Pasion Hotel Boutique</a>, also in Playa Del Carmen, is a hidden gem. This charming colonial-style venue is renowned for its stunning rooftop garden and pool, providing a unique backdrop for any wedding. It's romantic, intimate, and perfect for elopements or smaller weddings.
&nbsp;
Moving further along the coast, in the vibrant city of Cancun, you'll come across the <a href="https://www.moonpalacecancun.com/weddings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Moon Palace Cancun</a>. This all-inclusive resort plays host to a variety of weddings, suitable for all budgets. With a choice of beach, garden, and chapel settings, it's truly a versatile venue.
&nbsp;
Tucked away in Cancun's Hotel Zone is another treasure, the <a href="https://beach.palaceresorts.com/weddings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Beach Palace Cancun</a>. This is my recommendation for couples who dream of a beach wedding. The turquoise Caribbean Sea provides a mesmerizing backdrop for your special day.
&nbsp;
Finally, let's venture to the laid-back town of Tulum. Nestled amidst the tropical jungle is the charming <a href="https://www.zamas.com/weddings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Zamas Tulum</a>. With its rustic beachfront huts and a stunning view of the Caribbean Sea, it's an ideal spot for an intimate, boho-style wedding.
&nbsp;
For those with a larger wedding party, <a href="https://www.hyattinclusivecollection.com/en/resorts-hotels/dreams/mexico/tulum-resort-spa/events/weddings-honeymoons/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dreams Tulum Resort &amp; Spa</a> is a fantastic choice in Tulum. With its elegant colonial architecture, gorgeous beachfront, and lush tropical gardens, it's a venue that can cater to every style and budget.
&nbsp;
Whether you're planning a grand celebration or an intimate elopement, the venues in Playa Del Carmen, Cancun, and Tulum are sure to provide a beautiful backdrop for your special day. Remember, it's not just about the venue, it's about the love, laughter, and happily-ever-after that makes a wedding truly special.
