Monica had contacted me a couple weeks into December asking for a portrait session of her and her husband.  Monica revealed to me that on her wedding day back in August, everything that could go wrong, did.  It rained, her bouquet was wrong, her hair style didn't last, and as a result, they got very little photos of the two of them.   So while she and her husband, Paul, were on vacation in Puerto Vallarta, they took advantage of having a session done to make up for all that happened on their day.   After hearing everything that had happened, I wanted to make sure we got some killer photos of the two of them.  Never did I think she would bring a gorgeous wedding dress to the shoot!!!

It was absolutely fantastic and even though it was a bit cloudy, we did get a little sliver of sunset.  And a whole lot of beautiful photos!  Enjoy!

Jessica and Jordan had such a beautiful wedding and since they had not had formal engagement session done, we decided to do it a couple days after the wedding.   It was such a perfect day and the ocean looked absolutely gorgeous and blue! 

It was fun to take some casual photos of the two of them and with such a beautiful backdrop it hard not to keep shooting!  

I have to say that it is a wonderful feeling to see people reading a local magazine with your photos filling the pages!

Thank you LOOK Magazine for the feature.  And a special thanks to the wedding coordinator Weddings by Herick Lamas for sending this wedding our way ;).

What a beautiful and romantic wedding in Mazatlan!  We are so honored to be able to share in our clients' happiness and most of all be a witness to their love.  On this day, these two were inseparable, enjoying beautiful weather  and an even more beautiful backdrop.

We couldn't have imagined a more beautiful day for these two! 

I am just so lucky to be able to watch these families grow!  We had this session out in Balboa, which happens to be my favorite beach in Southern California.  I just love how small town it feels and of course, the beach!

I love these two sooo much!! And the moodiness of the photos :)

I can't believe that it's May already!  I've finally gotten around to writing 2015 instead of 2014 and time just flew by!

It's been an insane couple of months and so many sessions to post!  From California to Namiquipa to Mazatlan and another wedding this month... My heart is full!  

Anywhoo... who's dreaming of being in a place like this one? I know I can't wait until I'm at the beach everyday!!! 

Happy Friday!

I woke up at 6am relaxed.  Refreshed.  Ready to take on the day.  That is what the beautiful beaches in Mexico do to you.  The warm weather and gorgeous waters make for beautiful photos.  Gaby and Fer had their wedding in the beautiful beach town of Puerto Vallarta.  Sunset Plaza offered a beautiful background for their big day!

We were with the bride and groom for all of the special moments.  From getting ready to the First Look, civil ceremony on the rocks and to the church ceremony.  Finishing with an amazing garden party at the hotel.  

Gaby + Fer: Gracias por darnos la oportunidad y honor de fotografiar su boda!  Los queremos mucho y fue maravilloso ver el dia desarrollarse con mucho amor, amigos, y felicidad!

ESP: Desperte a las 6 relajada.  Renovada.  Lista para enfrentar el día.  Eso es lo que envemboca las hermosas playas de Mexico.  Clima agradable y las ricas aguas se prestan para hermosas fotografías.  Gaby y Fer tuvieron su boda en el pintoresco pueblo playero de Puerto Vallarta.  Sunset Plaza ofreció un lindisimo fondo para su gran día. 

Estuvimos con los novios para todos los momentos especiales.  Desde la novia alistandose a la Vista Previa, la ceremonia simbolica en las rocas, y a la ceremonia religiosa.  Terminando con una divertida y gran fiesta en los jardines del hotel.

There are no words to describe how honored I am to do what I do.  To be able to create once in a lifetime photos for families, couples, kids, and babies.   Thank you to all of my clients for letting me be a part of your lives and for having me photograph you!

I look forward to seeing many more familiar as well as new faces this year!  

Happy 2015 everyone!

I can't believe that we are at our 6 month mark!  I'm liking this whole marriage deal.  Wake up next to the person you love, endless cuddling before falling asleep, eating together as a family of two at our table, and traveling. 

When we got married, we didn't have the time to go on a honeymoon.  So when Gaby + Fer booked us for their wedding in Puerto Vallarta, we decided to extend the trip a week and finally have a honeymoon.  My husband and I love to backpack and camp and thanks to my awesome dad, who is just like us, got us these amazing backpacks.  We travelled through the entire Bahia de Banderas in the Puerto Vallarta coast.  We enjoyed summer weather, amazing warm waters, cool people, and got to see the famous Isla Marietas that's being posted all over Pinterest.  

I have to say that it's true what they say: "A couple that travels together, stays together."  There is nothing like watching a sunset over the beach and turning around to see your husband enjoying it at the same time.  

Thank you God for such an amazing time and for family!  At the bottom I'll list all the places we travelled.  For now, enjoy the slideshow of our trip!

I can not wait until I show you the rest of this amazing wedding that took place at Sunset Plaza in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. 

I love my job.  

Happy new year!
