The smokey sultriness of America Vega Pascual came alive behind our lens. We even ended the shoot with a fun, midnight splash!

playaloves.me loves capturing YOU most. Please enjoy a selection of our images featuring the beautiful people discovered along the shores of the Riviera Maya.
Cenote Azul is a tropical oasis resting in the heart of the Riviera Maya. Crystalline waters reflect deep blues of cavern depths and vibrant greens of mossy rocks as sun sparkles dance upon the surface. Dragonflies buzz among the mangroves. Exotic birds call out in sweet song…
Jessica picked the perfect wedding gown for her Trash the Dress session – a lacy dress with a long flowing train.
We’re truly excited to present an exquisite collection of images captured with Jessica and Gerald at Cenote Azul…

The Irresistibly Desired event featured hit DJs Wildfiction, Estevan and Juan Egho.
Playaloves.me videographer Bruno Laveissiere captured the scene just as the party was kicking off in the late afternoon:
Deseo Hotel + Lounge from playalovesme on Vimeo.
Centrally located on Playa del Carmen’s buzzing main drag, the Deseo hotel is a visually stunning and fashionably mischievous getaway just a few steps away from the Caribbean coast – the zenith of sophisticated hip on Mexico’s Riviera Maya. Designed to foster interaction among guests, the Deseo has a chic, fuss-free look that provides an ideal backdrop for relaxing by day and socialising by night. The hotel’s architectural and symbolic focal point is an open-air lounge that assumes all the functions of a lobby, restaurant, bar and pool area. Situated on a raised platform on the hotel roof, the lounge features a cocktail and snack bar, self-service kitchen, pool, Jacuzzi and host of oversized daybeds that invite guests to lounge and mingle, day and night. Come sunset, the bar gets into full swing with live DJs spinning house music and Playa del Carmen’s finest coming out to see and be seen.
We’re proud to announce a new artist joining the Playaloves.me Photography team… underwater videographer Bruno Laveissiere. His video artistry offers the perfect compliment to your underwater Trash the Dress photography session.

We are proud to welcome contributing photographer Courtney Forbes to our creative team. The Jamaican-born Canadian now divides his time working as a freelance visual artist amidst various worldly haunts including Zurich, Tel Aviv, Moscow and Playa del Carmen, Mexico.
Photography, like so many of the other visual art disciplines, is ultimately a labor of love…at least that’s what it is and always has been for me. Whether shooting plants, people, objects, or animals, my focus is always on that well selected, well composed, well lit subject matter of distinctive interest, beauty and intrigue. The bulk of my photography work involves travel documentation plus private, public and corporate event coverage… until now.
Please enjoy this selection of images Courtney captured during one of our Boudoir shoots:

Miss Gretel Huerta was truly a breathtaking model who literally transformed before our eyes… not once, but twice. From alluring jungle minx, to an enchanting beach fairy, to a mysterious and imaginary being found still lingering amidst the ruble of an abandoned theatre.
