Villa la Joya Playa del Carmen Wedding Photography Suggestions

From first look to the last adios by the newlyweds, Villa la Joya has the location and architectural features for the ideal Playa del Carmen wedding photographs. The villa itself is a stunning construction of marble, arches, columns and windows that let in the natural light. This carefully designed architecture nestles into the natural seaside setting of swaying palms, immaculate gardens and of course, the glory of the Mexican Caribbean Sea.

Let us show you some of our favorite Playa del Carmen wedding photography ideas at Villa la Joya.

Villa la Joya Playa del Carmen Entryway: A Grand Welcome

Upon arriving at Villa la Joya, your guests will be welcomed by an elegant entryway with a sprawling staircase, massive arched passageway and the lush green of exotic plants and soaring palm trees. This main entrance is one of our favorite settings for bridal party portraits, a great space for the bride to shine on her own or to gather everyone together for a magnificent group shot.

The Villa la Joya Fountain: Make a Wish for Joy, Health, and Happiness

The Villa la Joya fountain sits in a cozy little niche outdoors, bubbling quietly in the area where many brides wait before making their big entrance to their garden ceremony. The water signifies cleansing, purification and the fresh start the couple will enjoy together as newlyweds. The fountain is a favored place for intimate couple’s portraits and the afternoon light blesses this spot with warmth and love.

Villa la Joya Marble Staircase, Sweeping Marble, Elegance and Light

One of the architectural delights of Villa la Joya is the sweeping interior marble staircase that is truly majestic and worthy of photos all on its own. You’ll feel like royalty as you float down to meet your love, the warmth of the marble offset by the vintage decor setting a scene like something out of a fairy tale. Your happily ever after starts right here.

Playa del Carmen Wedding Photography in the Gardens of Villa la Joya

The lush gardens of Villa la Joya are absolutely overflowing with natural beauty and cozy little niches. Unlike a resort wedding, you won’t find any strangers popping round corners to ruin your photos, this is YOUR private garden. Soaring old palm trees and exotic flora, working together with your Playa del Carmen wedding photographers you will find endless options for photos that suit you perfectly. 

Bonus! As the Riviera Maya is located on the eastern shore of Mexico, there are few places to enjoy a sunset. Villa la Joya is set on the perfect curve of the coast to do just that, stunning purple and pink and orange skies as the sun sets over the jungle that were just made to be photographed.
