I photographed Kim and Brandon’s wedding over the holidays at Las Caletas, off of the coast of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.  I love Las Caletas weddings- the whole experience from boat ride to boat ride is simply phenomenal!  Of course, Kim and Brandon’s wedding was absolutely beautiful- they brought a lot of details from the States with them, and some of my personal favorites include:

1) The stamps.  At first, I was just taken in by the colors and style of the stamps on the envelopes.  But then I looked closer and realized the significance and the amount of thought that went into it– there are stamps representing Arizona, Texas, the USA, Mexico, and LOVE.  Kim is from Arizona, Brandon is from Texas, they are both (obviously) from the USA, and they are getting married in Mexico and they are in LOVE.    So wonderful!

2) The menus.  I normally see flat menus, which are usually wrapped into the napkins in some fashion.  Kim and Brandon twisted that around and wrapped their napkins in their menus! (LoveandFound on Etsy)

3) The vintage postcards.  There were quite a few of these- I only posted one in the blog preview, but I loved all of them!!

4) The Papel Picado Custom Banners were fantastic, and not something that I have seen recently at any weddings that I have photographed!  (Ay Mujer on Etsy)

5) My favorite detail, however, was the Custom Love Story.  Visually interesting, framed, and displayed at their wedding, the Custom Love Story gave the history of their relationship.  From the time they met (bowling on the same team at law school at UPenn) to the proposal (in Hawaii!!), it was so full of cute little details!!

Of course, one of my favorite events was the performance by the Las Caletas fire jugglers.  Hands down, I think these are the best fire jugglers in all of Vallarta.  What an amazing performance!  (And of course I loved the look on Kim’s face as they danced around her dress!!)  Kim and Brandon- thanks for including me in your celebration!  Here are a few of my favorites from the day:
