Laurie and Chris were married at the stunning Hacienda Paolo Maria (outside of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico) on New Year’s Eve.  Chris and his family have had a home in Puerto Vallarta for years, and Chris proposed to Laurie at Trio (an incredible restaurant in Vallarta), so it was only fitting that the couple chose Puerto Vallarta for their wedding destination.  The event was coordinated and catered by Plush Catering and Events, and Blaire and her team did an amazing job.

Laurie’s gorgeous dress was designed by Ulla Maija, the invitations and save the dates were designed and printed by Wedding Paper Divas, and the paper on the day of the event (including the place cards, signs, menus and programs) were created by Abby at Flair Designery LLC on Etsy.  Of course, the food (which was to die for, by the way) was put together by Juan and his team at Plush.

Because it was New Year’s Eve, there were sparklers and fireworks– two of my favorite things!!  I met up with Laurie and Chris the day after their wedding for an additional shoot in and around Vallarta and Conchas Chinas, and I had a wonderful time with the two of them!  Here are a few of my favorites from the event:
