Rene and Yokaira brought some serious New York and Latin flavor with them for their Puerto Vallarta wedding. Their ceremony was at the Church of Guadalupe, Vallarta’s crowned icon, and their reception was held at Grand Velas in Nuevo Vallarta. To my delight, we had a little time to roam the streets around the church for some photos of the two of them before their grand entrance into the reception. I loved these two and their extended families and friends and feel honored to have been the one to document this wonderful time for them.
Congratulations Rene and Yokaira!

Conchas Chinas, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
Monica and Jared’s wedding was held at the stunning villa Quinta Laura in the hills of Conchas Chinas. With a ceremony over-looking the Pacific Ocean, a classy, hacienda style dinner, and a night of dancing and fireworks under the palapa and the stars, the amazing design team The Dazzling Details worked their magic, transformed the space, and handled every little thing so Monica and Jared could soak it all in.
As a suprise for the couple, The Dazzling Details hired an artist to paint their wedding dinner. What a wonderful gift.
Congratulations Monica and Jared. It was such a pleasure to work with you!

El Tamarindo, Costalegre, Mexico
Brie and Mike held their wedding at the boutique resort El Tamarindo, along the Costalegre, 3 hours south of Puerto Vallarta. One of the nicest resorts I’ve seen yet, it has a wonderful balance between nature and luxury. Literally in the middle of nowhere, you might pass it if you blink! I really enjoyed photographing their lovely wedding and getting to know these lovebirds. Just look at those smiles. Congratulations Mike and Brie, you really know how to throw a wedding with style. I was also lucky enough to have my good friend and amazing photographer Mark Callanan along for the ride snapping shots as well.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico!
The day after Ben and Meghan’s wedding extravaganza we got together again, this time in the romantic zone of Vallarta. They were a little tired from the night before, but they were troopers and got back in their wedding gear. We got some great photographs…. and two large beers for a little hair of the dog/awesome record cover style photo props.
This is one of my favorites, shot through a stained glass window of a church.
I have always loved this little foot bridge that crosses the Rio Cuale.
Yeah, I think they look like rock stars.
I love how quiet this shot is.
You can see why they call it the romantic zone. Isn’t this town cute!?
We had a huge crowd outside of this bus watching. I LOVE this shot.
Fun beach time…
How romantic.
Thank you for a great time Ben and Meghan. I feel lucky to have been here with a camera to mark this special time.

Bucerias, Nayarit aka my home town in Mexico.
It’s a little secret of mine (but I’m willing to let you all in on it) that I pretty much know I’m going to have a great time shooting when the groom is the one who handles the communication about their wedding photography. This was definitely the case with Ben and Meghan. I had such a wonderful time with them and a reaaaally fun Trash the Dress session afterward which I’ll do a separate post on.
I was really excited for this wedding because it was in my little pueblito, a small town called Bucerias, 45 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta. Not only did they get married 3 blocks down from my house but they got married in the same villa that my brother and his wife were married in. It’s also right across the street from the house where my brother’s baby was born, and yeah…. I was really excited to be photographing on my turf.
To make matters better, this was a Dazzling Details wedding. You will surely see their unbelievable work in these photos.
I had my brother and amazing awesome photographer/designer Ed Fladung, and my right hand woman, my editor of 3 years turned second shooter Yanen with me shooting as well.
And here are Ben and Meghan…

Las Caletas, Mexico
What an amazing pair!
Lacey’s a fitness guru, now filming a show for MTV and a really fun, sweet girl. Jessica is a stunning model, and a truly lovely person, and together they make a perfect match. They have a tv show which they’ve just filmed the last episode for, called Lesbian Love where the two of them speak together about love and relationships. I’ve included a link to the video and a few of their words at the end of this post.
Their beautiful wedding was at Las Caletas, which is at the southern point of Vallarta’s Bay of Banderas and accessible only by boat! The day was coordinated by the awesome Kelley of Adventure Weddings. Here is a taste of their amazing wedding and the Trash the Dress session that followed.
Here is the last episode of their show, which includes some video of their wedding, and a letter that Lacey wrote to their fans. They are an inspiration.
Felicidades chicas!!
