Puerto Vallarta "Trash the Dress" VIDEO!!!

Take a peek at our "trash the dress" session...don't forget to disable the main page music and stay til the end to enjoy the miriachi band! :)



Paul and I put together this video of our wonderful destination wedding couple, Lori & Richard. They were such troopers through the heat (86 degrees and 80% humidity), we were strugglin! But kept on and wanted to capture a variety of shots, discovering old Mexico, that wasn't able to be a part of the beautiful wedding day. We started out at their hotel then traveled north of Puerto Vallarta to an old little town called Bucerias. It was one of my favorite places with all the colorful walls and unique culture.

Lori & Richard's AMAZING Puerto Vallarta Wedding!!!

Hopefully words won't even have to explain the amazing time we shared with Lori & Richard on their BEAUTIFUL wedding day in Puerto Vallarta...beautiful everything, including the couple...

Robert & Elaine: Engagement!

I love going new places. New land. I love to explore - it's where i get the best pics! Elaine and Robert helped a ton with their awesome ideas. We headed to Pasadena where we knew there was a few options to work with and one led to the next!
Check out just some of my favs...






One of my favorite shots of all time, i could hardly keep the camera still - haha, you guys ROCK!!!

Elaine is such a sweetheart and i know she is just head over heels for Robert. He constantly cracked her (and I) up, along with all the affection he showed her - this gave me alot to work with...not to mention their "mini-fashion show" they busted out in the middle of City Hall, WORK IT!!! :)

Beautiful achitecture...

Down the alleys of Pasadena you hear Salsa music at night, so of course, there was no other option than to stop and dance!

Amy & Amir's Wedding!

The Setting...

The gorgeous bride, Amy...

...the newlyweds!!!




I try to get every couple to step outside their venue to get a "nightshot", this one worked out perfect with the lamp posts and the moon, lighting up the scene. After showing them a quick peek on my camera, Amy & Amir were so thankful I took them aside to spend a few moments away from the party to allow me to capture this moment...



One of my new goals is to take CREATIVE ring shots, I was in LOVE with the colorful art displayed at K'ya Restaurant and had to link it to the rings...

I love culture in each wedding I attend and fascinated how each one has it's own unique traditions. I finally got to experience my first Persian wedding with one awesome couple!


I was so fortunate to work alongside the wonderful coordinator, Laurie Davies, of 5 Star Weddings and Events, who made the day run smoothly. The beautiful floral decor was done by Keith J Laverty Designs.

Stefanie & Ty: Engagement!

I LOVE the chemistry between Stef and Ty...AMAZING. They are constantly cracking eachother up, clearly best friends and so in love. This makes my job so easy!!! I don't think i had to tell them what to do once, and if i did, one of them would ad their personality and lil twist on things to spice it up! LOVE IT!!!



They were troopers! It was at LEAST 90 degrees out and thank goodness for the gusts of wind that would come along to cool us down...

Silly Stef...


Silly faces...

i LOVE color.

White women can JUMP!!!



...time out...

Stef and Ty are SO adorable and made matching jerseys!!! Ty plays bball and coaches as well, so they are a big fan of the hoop! Here they are, showin off the soon to be...TEAM AYE!!!
