I’ve been wanting to share this lovely destination wedding in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico! Jessica + Paul’s wedding was nothing short of amazing! They were married at the Guadalupe Church in downtown Puerto Vallarta, and their reception was held at the Dreams Resort. These two couldn’t be more in love, and there were so many lovely details at their wedding. One huge highlight was the baby turtle release right before the reception. It was so amazing to watch the little guys scurry toward the ocean and be swept up by the waves. The couple’s parents also surprised them with a giant fireworks display over the water to kick off all the dancing! The girls at The Dazzling Details did a wonderful job with the decor and keeping the yellow + gray + lovebird theme throughout - I loved the hanging birdcage lanterns on the dance floor! You can read more about the decor on the Dazzling Details Blog. I’ll be posting more images from Jessica + Paul’s day after session in Sayulita soon, and here are some more details from their day:
Dress: Alvina Valenta

It was such a pleasure documenting Jordan + Josh’s wedding, and it was such a lovely + perfect day. They were married at The Ocean Institute in Dana Point, which is a gorgeous venue right next to the ocean. The amazingly talented Jesi Haack coordinated the day flawlessly, and her + her team created the flowers, table decor, fabric runners, and many other amazing details. Here are just a few of our favorites!

Lisa + Hunter are absolutely perfect for each other, and it was such an honor documenting their wedding day! Their ceremony was at the San Diego Temple and reception at the Balboa Bay Club overlooking the bay. Lisa wore a gorgeous lace Monique Lhuillier gown, and LA Partie Events did an amazing job with the florals! I loved the flowers and yellow and gray color palette at their wedding! The super cute cake was by Sweet Art. Guests took home little boxes of salt water taffy and other candies at the end of the night, and the couple made their escape at the end of the night in a gondola, complete with a cozy blanket.
