royalton chic Cancun Wedding
Some weddings stay with you long after the last dance, not because of extravagant details or grand moments, but because of how they make you feel. Erin + Gunner's wedding was one of those days. From the moment we arrived, there was a quiet sense of gratitude that surrounded everything. These two were completely present with each other, soaking in every hug, every laugh, every happy tear, and making everyone around them feel like part of something truly special. There were emotional moments, too. As Gunner remembered his dad throughout the day, the love and support from family and friends wrapped around them in the most beautiful way. It was heartfelt without ever feeling heavy—a celebration that honoured the people who couldn't be there while embracing every joyful moment with the people who could.
One of our favourite things about Erin was how excited she was for photos. She trusted us completely and was always happy to sneak away for a few quiet moments together whenever the light turned golden. Those little adventures between events gave us some of our favourite images of the day—warm sunshine, genuine laughter, and the kind of effortless connection you simply can't pose.
Watching these two together made it easy to see why they chose a destination wedding. It wasn't about escaping somewhere tropical; it was about bringing together the people they love most and celebrating in a place that felt adventurous, relaxed, and unforgettable—just like them.
Erin + Gunner, thank you for inviting us to be part of such an incredible day. Photographing your wedding never felt like work—it felt like spending the day with two people who reminded everyone what love, kindness, and genuine appreciation look like. We'll never forget it! xo

Erin: "When I found Dream Bella Photography on Instagram, I knew right away that their photography style was a perfect match for our destination wedding in Cancun. From the day we booked them, the detailed communication began via email. As the day drew nearer, I reached out to Amanda for insight as I refined my color/theme/florals. I shared pictures of the venue with her and my Pinterest inspiration board and she responded with collages that helped me envision the day and make my decisions! This was an above and beyond effort that meant the world to me. Finally, our wedding day arrived! The flow of the day was seamless as we followed the timeline Amanda had carefully created. When I met Amanda and Michael, their love of sharing in people’s precious moments was obvious. Amanda was charming and complimentary, and Michael was equally kind but subtly capturing the memories from a different angle.
While on our honeymoon, just when we thought we couldn’t be happier, we received a sneak peak just a few days after the wedding! The photos captured the essence of our day perfectly and we have relived the happiness over and over again looking at them! We had the full album about a month out. Dream Bella exceeded our expectations. We knew there would be many photos of us, but there were so many surprise pictures of our guests we that we absolutely love. Highly and whole-heartedly recommend Dream Bella Photography!"
Gunner: "We were incredibly fortunate to have Amanda and Michael as our photographers. They made our wedding day feel truly special, and the photos they captured exceeded all our expectations. Amanda and Michael's approach allowed us to be ourselves, resulting in not just numerous amazing moments between my wife and me but also beautiful memories of our guests.
We can't praise them enough. If you're seeking stunning wedding photos, Amanda and Michael are the perfect choice."
