Chrissy and Nick celebrated their love in the most magical way, surrounded by their 60 closest family and friends at the breathtaking Banyan Tree Mayakoba. Their love story began in the mountains of Colorado, where they bonded over their shared passion for mountain marathon racing. It was this love for adventure and nature that brought them together and ultimately led them to this unforgettable celebration by the sea.
The day began with getting ready photos in their villas at the stunning Banyan Tree resort. The energy was warm and full of excitement as Chrissy and Nick prepared for the big moment. Chrissy’s villa was filled with laughter, champagne, and her bridesmaids helping her into her beautiful gown, while Nick’s villa had a relaxed vibe with his groomsmen sharing stories and getting ready for the day ahead. The Banyan Tree Mayakoba provided a gorgeous backdrop, with lush greenery and serene waterways that set the perfect tone for the day.
The ceremony was set in the elegant lobby of the hotel, where the couple exchanged heartfelt vows under a beautiful floral arch, surrounded by love and laughter. The lobby’s open-air design and stunning architecture made for an intimate and breathtaking setting, with natural light pouring in and highlighting every special moment.
After the ceremony, Chrissy and Nick took their guests on a journey to the MK Blue venue for the reception. They arrived by boat, making a grand entrance that left everyone in awe, just in time for a surprise display of fireworks that lit up the night sky. The MK Blue venue, nestled in the lush mangroves, provided a secluded and enchanting atmosphere for the reception. The decor featured elegant floral arrangements, twinkling lights, and natural elements that perfectly complemented the couple’s love for adventure and nature.
Even though the rain decided to join the celebration later in the evening, nothing could dampen the joy of this perfect day. The laughter, dancing, and love shared made it clear that Chrissy and Nick’s adventurous spirits had found the perfect match. Guests danced the night away under the shelter of the venue, with the rain adding a romantic and memorable touch to the evening.

Banyan Tree Mayakoba is truly a gem on the Riviera Maya, offering stunning backdrops, luxurious amenities, and an atmosphere that makes every moment feel magical. Destination weddings like this one are always filled with unique moments, and it was an honor to document the love and adventure that Chrissy and Nick share.
