As soon as I met Niran and Gary, I knew we would have a great time and that we would have some amazing photos! I met them for the first time at Calypso Restaurant for the rehearsal dinner. At the rehearsal dinner, there was an AMAZING animated video done by one of their friend’s that detailed their relationship. It was funn, and romantic, and brought a ton of tears and laughter. Kudos! I love to get a copy of that!
Niran loved animals, and she used pictures of her dog to highlight some of the pars of their wedding celebration. The place cards were highlighted by her dog’s pictures. Some of the other cool ideas they had were: hanging pictures detailing their romance on a clothesline, like a timeline, a polaroid guest book, beautiful shells hanging from the tree they got married in front of. There was a great band, and later some of the couple’s musicians friends took over and sang for them as well. How fun! There was even pastor tacos for the guests! Catering was by Don Pedro’s. Everything was expertly organized and ran by Sayulita Dream Weddings‘ Andrea.
Casa Las Palmas II is an amazing location at Punta Mita. It reminds me a little bit of Rancho Huracan that I shot earlier. The bathroom that Niran was getting ready is probably bigger than my entire studio, and had some amazing architecture and light. You can see some pictures I did using that focused light in the photos.
Overall, this was a great time!

Amy and Larry’s wedding at Zihuatanejo was my 3rd wedding of this Mexico trip - I flew in from Puerto Vallarta and joined them at The Tides Hotel. 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, the bride and groom got together and signed the Ketubah. It was a beautiful wedding at the beach, with the sun setting right behind them. Just perfect!
The reception was fun packed, and hora, the chair dance, was very energetic! The party went on for a very long time! There were fireworks, and a whisky bar was frequently visited by the guests!

Lindsy and Aaron transformed the Hilton Hotel Vancouver’s Ballroom into a fantastic wedding environment - everyting from the decroations, flowers, settings to food was gorgeous. Dynamic Events outdid themselves this time with the execution and created a fantastic look.
Lindsy’s dress was also so beautiful - very flowy. Aaron had a GQ look and everybody at the wedding had a great time! We had a break in the weather as well so we were able to go outside and have some fun photos. I also got a pretty funny photo (check out the toasts!)

When Lindsy entered the ballroom, she was backlit with a strong spotlight. The whole room held it’s breath as she stood their in that beautiful light.
Just gorgeous! I had to change the camera settings in about 0.1 seconds but it was worth it!
Amazing decorations and settings.
The chandeliers were brough in just for this wedding
