Lauren + Frank | Tulum, Mexico


Everyone knows how much I love Mexico. When I am there, I never want to leave. But that has never been more true than after three days at Lauren and Frank's wedding outside of Tulum. Everyone was so nice, the water was so warm and the party never seemed to end. I always love it when I see a pool in the middle of the reception area because people always end up jumping in. But this time, everyone got in. Even me. With my camera. After several shots of tequila. It was one of the most fun receptions I've ever been to.

Lauren and Frank live in London, but if they ever decide to throw another party in Mexico, I want to go. Thanks so much guys for an amazing trip.

ben, i always love seeing how you play with the relationship between light and darkness. the blueness of the night sky is so intense in this series, it almost looks like chroma key!

Oh man those are seriously good! So many favorites this time around.

I too am a huge fan of Mexico and would love to live there. Is the second shot taken in Playa Del Carmen?

I gotta go look at these again... thanks for the inspiration.

ben you are the man of all men. stunning, fabulous, vivid, fantastic, magical. so many words so much hyperbole. it all makes me want to tear off my clothes and run naked in the park. or a meadow. maybe it should be a meadow. as soft as a baby's bottom. as tough as nails. as rough and tumble as an exit off the highway on the way to las cruces.
