Ashley & Lance’s Intimate Elopement at Punta Sur, Isla Mujeres

Some love stories feel like they were meant to be told by the ocean—calm, deep, and filled with soul. Ashley and Lance’s elopement at Punta Sur on Isla Mujeres was one of those stories: a beautiful celebration of connection, nature, and unwavering love, all wrapped in the sun-kissed charm of the Caribbean.

Ashley and Lance first met on Facebook back in 2022. What started as an online connection quickly grew into something deep and lasting. From the very beginning, Lance made it a priority to show Ashley how much he loved her—never letting a single day go by without expressing it. Their love is intentional, steady, and filled with kindness. When they decided to elope, there was no question about where it would happen: Isla Mujeres.

Having visited the island several times before, Ashley and Lance had fallen in love with its laid-back island vibe, its stunning turquoise waters, and the welcoming local culture. There’s a certain magic here—one that wraps around you and invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and fully embrace the moment. It’s that feeling that drew them back to say “I do.”

We started their wedding day with a pre-ceremony couple’s session along the cliffs of Punta Sur. The contrast between the rugged shoreline and the peaceful sea created a breathtaking canvas for portraits. Ashley, radiant in the soft breeze, moved with effortless grace as her dress flowed in the wind. Lance looked at her with eyes full of love and admiration.

There’s something truly special about those quiet moments before the ceremony. With just the sound of crashing waves and palm fronds swaying, Ashley and Lance shared time together to reflect on their journey and take in the significance of the day.

Their private ceremony took place on the Punta Sur outlook balcony—an awe-inspiring setting perched above the Caribbean Sea, with panoramic views that stretch as far as the eye can see. With only each other present, they exchanged vows with the wind in their hair and the ocean as their witness. It was powerful, peaceful, and profoundly personal.

Helping couples like Ashley and Lance create a meaningful, stress-free experience is what Isla Mujeres Elopements is passionate about, and this day was a perfect reflection of what we love to do.

Elopements like this remind us that love doesn’t need an audience. It needs presence. It needs intention. And it thrives in places where the heart feels free.

Ashley and Lance’s day was nothing short of magical. We’re so grateful to have played a part in their love story and even more grateful to photographer Susan Pacek for capturing it with such heart and beauty.

Here’s to a lifetime of island sunsets, spontaneous adventures, and saying “I love you” every single day.
