We had so much fun with this shoot–Richard & Andrea were up for anything, and then some. And then some more.
Check out our super cool bride & groom
To the jungle!
The sky, the light, the amazingly clear blue water… all came together perfectly for shooting in the ocean
Who knew wedding photography was dangerous? Here I am, cheating death shooting from above
The resulting shot
Then we headed to a cenote, which is essentially an underground cave that is connected to a subterranean water body. Yeah, I’m thinking it too–way cool.
After shooting in there for about an hour, I realized that this particular cenote is home to lots of bats. Luckily, they minded their own bat-business as we continued to shoot and shoot and shoot.
I am surprised this actually worked
I knew exactly what I was doing, and was sure this would turn out
I couldn’t resist. It’s just what happens when you point a camera at me.
Aqua Blue Steel
As much fun as we were having above, it turns out it was even more interesting underwater
I love the way the light brought out the colour. (Which is slightly more colourful than color)
Thank you so much, again, Richard & Andrea!–there are TONS more that we can’t wait to share with you!
effing A dude. Amazing work!
This photos are amaizing!!
Congratulations :)
This photos are amaizing!! Congratulatiosn :)
These are incredible! And what a super cool couple!
CONGRATULATIONS. For everything.
Holy cow, these are utterly amazing! I think I’m a little in love – ok a lot – with the one half under/half above the water. The last two don’t even convey in words how utterly fantastic they are!
OMG! Un-Freekin-believable! Can I say that on the blog? DAMN Dude…..this is impressive.
Wow! These are fantastic. I, too, have been wanting some underwater housing for a while…these might just have made that jump higher on the priority list. :)
Wow! That about sums it up. You two have been up to so much this year! Unfortunately Marcus isn’t as interested in traveling for the sake of photo shoots, but maybe I could convince him if I showed him your blog.
GORGEOUS photos! I love couples who are willing to really let go and allow the photographer to capture amazing photographs of them.
OMG! The underwater ones are AMAZING! WOW! WOW! WOW!
I love it. The light in the water and the depth of the colors are very striking. Great intimate captures. They say don’t drink the water in Mexico….swimming is ok though :)
Peace,
Parris Whittigham
Just gorgeous! Love your work guys!
OMG, these are the MOST amazing, I repeat, AMAZING photos. I am not worthy!
All I can say is WOW!!! You two really outdid yourselves! Your photography is absolutely AMAZING! I can’t wait to see how you top yourselves NEXT TIME!!!
WOW!!! You continuously amaze me. These are so beautiful.
No doubt these are the best images I’ve ever seen so far. Really pushed the limits! I love it! *bookmarks your blog* I am REALLY loving it!
holy crap.
ahhhh underwater!! and in that amazing place. these are freakin’ awesome!

Mel & Sean – I have always known you all were talented, but these pictures blew me away. They are so beautiful! The day is quickly approaching when I will be able to say “I knew them when…”
I just don’t get it. How did you get to be so stinkin’ awesome?

Unbelievable! I’m less than 48 hours from being done with law school, but I’m seriously considering abandoning this profession and following the McLellans around the world for pretty pictures. Anyone need a camera bag girl?
I’m not even going to say it because I am channeling the high fives right to your door. Did you get them?? Oh yeah cuz I sent a few. Your underwater gear is way sexier than my brilliant idea to double bag the camera. Eh… maybe its a good thing Brad doesn’t listen to me?!
These photos rock!!!!
wowee wow wow…
Holy Homemade Guacamole!!!!!!!!!!

I have waited almost 4 hours to leave a comment, but I am still…
I want to leave words like astonishing, astounding, fantastic, incredible, marvelous, phenomenal, stupendous, unbelievable, wonderful, wondrous, amazing, crazy, off-the-hook, wicked; unfortunately, all off these words pale in the magnificence of your continuous unparalleled and unrivaled creations.
I am madly in love with these. WOW.
