Olya🇷🇺 + Sam🇵🇸
This wedding took place in a truly magical spot in Tulum, filled with the full Tuluminati spirit and everything that can unfold when you bring together a Russian bride, a Palestinian groom, and guests from Russia, Palestine, the U.S. (particularly L.A.), and many other places—some of them traveling from the other side of the planet to be there.
To start, they booked the entire hotel exclusively for their guests. And the hotel itself is a gem: it has a massive cenote that serves as the pool, and the whole resort is built around it.
Day one kicked off with a Welcome Party that radiated nothing but happiness from the couple and everyone attending.
Day two began with a getting ready that was absolutely packed—18 Russian girls in Olya’s room, and about 20 guys from all over the world in Sam’s. What followed was a ceremony filled with laughter, jokes, and so much love, with the cenote as the backdrop.
There were multiple live performances featuring Palestinian and Russian music throughout the night. Soon the dance floor was overflowing; there were so many people and so much passion in the way they were celebrating that the floor of the restaurant where the reception took place literally sank slightly.
No one cared. The party kept going.
Not before a series of incredibly emotional speeches from the people dearest to Olya and Sam.
A few days later, we did an underwater Trash the Dress session right there in the hotel’s cenote. We’ll never stop feeling grateful for the chance to witness and capture moments like these. We’re truly lucky to be present for what is easily in the top five “happiest moments” of a couple’s life.
