I am on isla holbox, a 45 minute ferry ride for a point in the north of the yucatan peninsula, 3 hours away from the nearest big city, cancun ...writing from a dialup computer. I have a bride getting married today who has been told by the govt that she is to evacuate the island with friends and family. i am with my amigo, sergio photographer, and we are going to document the event as it goes... this one is going to be exciting. The bride plans to still get married today, somewhere on our way out, be it with her family on a ferry, in a shelter, or wherever it can happen. The priest coming to the island is forbidden to be here and there are no other options except for a word that someone here knows someone on the mainland who does mayan ceremonies. this one is going to be good... look for some updates on this one folks. today, i am a true photojournalist, photographing a wedding on the run. imagine that? oh, did i mention there was a predicted category 5 hurricane headed this way, in 2 days??? wish us luck, por favor mateo y sergio ***update*** this is really going to be mission mexico. our bride has a killer website, totally check it out. mission mexico she has arranged for a private ferry off the island...amazing. there are hundreds if not thousands of locals escaping this island. our ferry will have all of the guests, and transportation to a small town, valladolid in central yucatan. there we will all have a room and a makeshift ceremony and dinner. crazy huh? sorry for the spelling errors and such, no time to care but time to tell the world that i am having a crazy adventure. if you want to be a destination wedding photographer, think about what you are signing up for.. this one is going to be a friggen doozy! best, mateo y sergio ***ANOTHER UPDATE*** i've completed the assignment, after hours and hours of driving and then a full evening of shooting, I was able to recommend a location for the bride and groom in Valladolid where Sol & I have stayed a few times, and they had one of the most romantic wedding receptions (they arrived dressed as bride and groom) and actually had the dinner before there ceremony, at this long elegant table with 32 table positions.... dance, cake, friends, fun, a mission completed! photos coming soon on this one
