If you're looking for some beautiful destination wedding photography inspiration, check out the work of Kate Harrison Photography at this rustically set Yucatan wedding. 

On her blog, she raved about the area, it's beauty, as well as the accommodations, saying: 

This neck of the woods is the home to a very special family of hotels: The Haciendas. Not only are they exquisite, they have untouched history, a conscious & serious heart. They are committed to sustainability, social & environmental welfare and draw 98% of their personnel from the surrounding region. They make a special effort to empower Maya women, provide education outreach, preventive medical centers and upgrades to local schools. I can't sing their praises enough. Go there.

Such glowing reviews of the area and such unique and stunning photography make for a truly impressive overview. To view the full gallery, and read more about this wedding, visit Kate Harrison Photography.

Destination weddings: More couples choose beach over banquet hall

“I thought it was so wonderful and different and so much fun, my mom and (my husband's) mom both said it was the best wedding they’d ever been to,” says Melissa Brousil, who married Michael Brousil just before sunset along Mexico's Riviera Maya Coastline. 

The couple had never been to Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula before, so they were excited to experience the clear blue waters of the Caribbean for the first time over their wedding.

Market trends show that Melissa and Michael are just a few of the people catching onto this trend, and that a notable spike in destination wedding interest has occurred recently.

 Mexico leads the pack in terms of popular sites, but other local couples have opted for Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, Florida and even Hawaii, said Carol Lekki, owner of Carol's Travel Service in Orland Park," who assisted the Brousils with their event.said. “More people just don’t want to go through the stress and expense of a big wedding at home,” she added.
