I am in Puerto Vallarta for the wedding of Dinah and Tom (more on that in a few days).  Their destination wedding is at the beautiful Playa Fiesta hotel, and I was flattered when Adam and Lindsay (the wonderful owners) asked me to do some commercial shooting- they need pics of their hotel for their brand new website which will be launching in 2009.

Here are a few of my faves of this gorgeous Puerto Vallarta Wedding Hotel:
