Alexis and Jerry had their beautiful destination wedding in Sayulita Mexico, near Puerto Vallarta, on Valentines day, in Don Pedro’s Palapa.
The day started with getting ready at Mi Otra Casa. Everything was being expertly coordinated by Gabriela and Guillermo of Mar Weddings. After the ceremony overlooking the ocean and Playa Los Muertos. Then we headed down to first the beautifully decorated cemetery to take some photos to the theme of eternal love. At the beach near the ceremony site, we took a few fun shots and we were playfully surrounded by a group of local kids, and their cute chihuahua. When we got back from the beach, a mariachi band led the couple to the reception - the fiesta and dancing started followed up by a romantic fireworks display during wedding cake cutting. Other highlights of their week included al pastor tacos at the rehearsal dinner and a cigar roller at the wedding location!

I was hoping to attend the ball when the phone rang and I was invited to cover this event at the beautiful Tiffany Center! What a coincidence! The decorations at the Tiffany Center Crystal Ballroom was by FireWorks! events. I have done couple weddings there before, but this was my first non-wedding event. As a bonus, Stolen Sweets were playing so I had a chance to practice my swing dancing! In addition, BodyVox dance company did a great performance on the stage!

Amy and Larry’s The Tides Hotel wedding at Zihuatanejo was my 3rd wedding of this Mexico trip - I flew in from Puerto Vallarta and joined them at The Tides Hotel. As a Zihuatanejo wedding photographer, I love shooting at the Playa Ropa beach. The boys were hanging out, drinking some Johnny Walker Blue Label, and having a great time in general. I then went to photograph beautiful Amy and her group getting ready and got some great black and white’s. Since this was a Jewish wedding in Mexico, the bride and groom got together and signed the Ketubah. It was a beautiful Zihuatanejo wedding at the beach, with the sun setting right behind them. Just perfect!
The The Tides hotel wedding reception was fun packed, and hora, the chair dance, was very energetic! The wedding party went on for a very long time! There were fireworks, and a whisky bar was frequently visited by the guests!

I had the pleasure of shooting Shawna and Corey’s wedding at Sayulita about a week after Jill & Michele’s. Shawna and Corey are originally from my hometown of Portland, but they moved to Amsterdam recently. Both Shawna and Corey, and their friends were very friendly and energetic group, and we had a blast. The wedding and reception was at Don Pedro’s Palapa and getting ready was at Casa Casablanca (http://www.sayulitalife.com/casablanca).

Sayulita Beach
Shawna’s Grandma gave her a family ring.
The palm & bamboo arch was very cool - Sayulita Dream Weddings does a great job with the preparations. That is Gabi on the right with black shirt, translating.
An infrared photo. I spend a lot of time after capture to get the look I want.
The toasts were particularly emotional.
