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!

Nikki and Lynn had a very fun wedding at relaxed Sayulita. The night before everybody gathered at La Terrazola, a very relaxed atmosphere and I got to meet the bride and groom. I immediately knew this will be a very easy going, fun wedding full of nice people.
The wedding ceremony itself was at sunset at Playa los Muertos, and the reception was immediately following at Don Pedro’s Palapa overlooking the Sayulita Bay. Wedding was coordinated by talented Luz Ochoa from Sayulita Weddings. They had a great Cuban band, and lots of dancing followed. The speeches were greeted by tears. The food was also amazing with tons of different options including al pastor tacos (my favorite!!!). The night ended with a great fireworks show!

I had the pleasure of getting to know Gabby and Andrea over the years and when the chance came up to do portraits with them at the beach, and I was available, I was very happy!
I lost one of my Alien Bee’s Cybersync’s to the ocean, but it was worth it! We picked a cool beach, and did some beach portraits with the waves crashing at Puerto Vallarta!

They had a beach party the night before the wedding, which included a mariachi band, an excellent DJ, who spun upbeat club beats all night long, and a surprise fire dancer near the end of the night. On the wedding day we were a top the beautiful Villa Amor Hotel, with views of the surfers and fishermen on the Sayulita beach.
