An Emotional Isla Mujeres Micro Wedding on a Private Beach: Ashley & Jaye’s Heartfelt Elopement

Some love stories find their way back home, no matter how much time has passed. Ashley and Jaye’s micro wedding on a quiet stretch of private beach in Isla Mujeres was the perfect celebration of a love that was lost, rediscovered, and chosen again—with complete certainty. Coordinated by Isla Mujeres Elopements and beautifully photographed by Susan Pacek, their ceremony was intimate, deeply personal, and full of meaningful touches.

Ashley and Jaye first met in 2012, instantly connecting during a spontaneous first date. Their early years together were full of love, but life—and an exhausting work schedule—pulled them apart. What followed was nearly a decade of separate lives. Ashley married and had two sons; Jaye built his career. Yet the connection they shared never truly faded. When Ashley reached out years later with a simple message, everything shifted, and the two quickly discovered that their story still had chapters left to write. Jaye embraced not only Ashley, but her young boys as well, becoming a calm, steady, and loving presence in their lives.

Their wedding day honored that journey in the most touching ways. Ashley’s sons proudly walked her down the aisle, their small hands gripping hers as the turquoise water sparkled behind them. To honor her father—who passed away last year and always dreamed of giving her away—an empty chair adorned with flowers was placed at the ceremony. Ashley also carried a charm on her bouquet with his photo, keeping him close to her heart.

Set on a tranquil private beach, their ceremony focused on connection and intention. Nno distractions—just the couple, their children, and parents with the gentle rhythm of the Caribbean. They exchanged rings, spoke meaningful promises, and officially began the life they had fought so hard to come back to. Susan Pacek captured every tender glance and emotional detail, documenting the kind of elopement that truly reflects the spirit of Isla Mujeres: intimate, heartfelt, and beautifully simple.

Ashley and Jaye are most excited for the future ahead—family memories, everyday joys, and finally making up for lost time.

For couples dreaming of an Isla Mujeres elopement or private micro wedding, Ashley and Jaye’s day is a beautiful reminder of what’s possible when you focus on what matters most: love, family, and an unforgettable island setting.
