I also debated on calling this post Sweet Caroline, because I seriously can’t get her smile out of my head… and you know, the whole “hands touchin’ hands” bit.

I have a feeling this is a wedding that I will be revisiting again & again, just to get the warm fuzzies. Carolyn & Peter were the first wedding out of four that I’d photographed that same week, but we kept running into each other around Sayulita. I think they’d even extended their stay longer than originally planned, so all during the next week we’d see them, looking perfectly & perpetually in a state of honeymoon. ¡Amor! I haven’t seen them stateside & that’s okay, because I want to continue imagining them all googly-eyed newlyweds on the colorful streets & beaches of Mexico’s Pacific.

Once again, I have to thank Brian from SharkPig for this video… he is one of the most insane & talented people I know, and I can’t imagine life without him. You can check out the other video from this wedding here! Yes, it was such an amazing time that there are TWO videos. I also want to give a major shout out to my chica Jillian Mitchell, who flies me down to Mexico every once in a while to party with her & shoot weddings, simultaneously… I am one lucky friend. I know I often speak of serendipity & love & whatever whatever, but seriously. These two people are in my lives because of pure serendipity, and they both have given me such a new & appreciated perspective on life & art & friendship… I am so thankful for both of you, and often lay around dreaming up our next wedding in Mexico together. Or our next drink together… I’ll take both or either!

The rest of this wedding can be found here, the videos can be found here… and a sweet little feature on 100 Layer Cake can be found here. Enjoy!

Hasta la próxima vez… ¡Viva México!

I’m not sure what took me so long to blog all of my weddings from Mexico… I think it’s due in part to procrastination, I’m sure; but also due to me just wanting to hold onto these memories as best as I can. My times in Mexico have always been so incredibly special to me, and even I can’t explain how that country has stolen my heart in such a way. Anyway, I’m now ready to share all of my photos from Mexico, as I’m finally going back this week… and bringing my family with me!!! I am so excited I could scream!

You can see the wedding in its entirety here. Thanks to Jillian Mitchell for having me along at this wedding… I can’t wait to make more rad memories with you this week, chica!

Please visit each day, for more fun photos of one my favorite places on earth… ¡Viva México!

Essentially, that’s what Misty & John did… and I was lucky enough to be there to celebrate with them.

There was nothing pretentious or overly done about this wedding or their celebration… the decorations were provided by nature, and the open sky & blue ocean served as the temple they got married in. And some fun details about their wedding… her dress was a classic BCBG from Nordstrom, her flowers were handpicked & arranged by me (!!!) from the local market in the nearby old plantation town of Koloa, and one of her best friends married them, with vows written by one of their dear friends back home.  Personal touches, all around… and so lovely.

A few frames from my time exploring the islands of Hawaii during this trip can be found here, and the sweetest feature can be found on my favorite wedding blog, Ever Ours.

Aloha… Mahalo.
