Greta and Jairo are the epitomai of a modern romance, and I’m thrilled they were the couple for this incredible styled elopement in Tulum, Mexico. Casa Arka is an incredibly stunning venue that is sure to sweep any couple off of their feet, so it’s truly my honor to be sharing this event to serve as inspiration for your very own tropical destination wedding.
Greta and Jairo
From the moment I met Greta and Jairo, it was clear that their love for each other was profound and genuine. They are professional models, often in front of the camera, yet they approached this styled elopement with a vulnerability and openness that was truly inspiring. When photographing events like this, it’s always important that the participating models are real-life couples to ensure natural, authentic chemistry that you cannot fake otherwise. For Greta and Jairo, their journey together began in the jungle of Chemuyil, where they met during a yoga certification class. Their connection quickly yet steadily grew into a deep love, characterized by their shared interests and a zest for life.
