Alma Films in Tulum — Destination Work in February

Dreams Tulum Resort & Spa · Tulum, Mexico

Winter in Minnesota is harsh. By harsh I mean below zero temps plus wind chill that makes you cough because it's too cold to breathe. The three of us grew up here, so we're pretty much used to it. However, when destination work steals us away to tropical warmth and heavenly sun, we are very grateful! We are really happy when our clients decide to get married somewhere warm in the middle of winter.

This year we had an unusual number of winter weddings, so when Kristi & Jimmy booked, we all celebrated because we were readier than ever to work in the warmth and sunshine! And since we're a family team, it's basically like a mini-family vacation, right?! We like to think so!

Dreams Tulum Resort & Spa — February

In February we stayed at Dreams Tulum Resort & Spa. It was so refreshing and fun! Plus, we were able to brush up on our ping pong skills and jumpstart our tan for the summer... well, we actually got really burnt, but oh well! It was so beautiful I had to share a few personal photos from mini vacation!

Dreams Tulum Resort & Spa sits on the Riviera Maya near Tulum — beach, palms, and the kind of light that makes a Minnesota crew forget the wind chill for a few days. These frames are from our stay: the team on the sand, a gimbal walk past lounge chairs and palms, resort architecture and tropical detail, and a quiet black-and-white look across the pool.

Kristi & Jimmy — filmed and photographed here

You can imagine the wedding we filmed and photographed here was absolutely beautiful. Their Dreams Tulum highlight film is on the journal as Kristi & Jimmy’s Tulum wedding post.

We're headed back to Mexico this spring for another wedding. Stay tuned for lots of tropical goodness!

Why destination work matters to us

We are a Minneapolis-based family team, and destination celebrations are part of how we work — Minnesota winters and all. When a couple chooses warmth in February, we get to carry their story in a place that feels like a pause from everything frozen back home.

If you are planning a wedding in Tulum, elsewhere in Mexico, or anywhere your story unfolds, we would be honored to hear from you.
