Karen and Rene planned their Puerto Vallarta wedding from Chicago- and it was absolutely stunning!  Not only was it at Caletas (which has one of my favorite beaches for sandy weddings), but it was colorful and fabulously designed by Kelley and her team at Vallarta Adventures!  The guests were also on the dance floor all night (they even danced around the bonfire)!  Oh, and did I mention the fire jugglers?!?!  All in all, it was an absolutely perfect day.  Plus, I had the opportunity to get together with Rene and Karen the next day to traipse around Marina Vallarta and Old Town for some fun and colorful post-wedding photographs.  We had a wonderful time!  Here are a few of my favorites from the day:

When I met with Tricia and John before their wedding, they were so funny and easy-going that I knew that their wedding was going to be a blast.  And it certainly didn’t disappoint- Tricia’s brother did such an incredible job officiating the ceremony, and all of the family members chipped in to make the day full of heartfelt emotion.  They held their beautiful destination wedding at Las Caletas (outside of beautiful Puerto Vallarta, Mexico).  I love the beach at Las Caletas, and it was fun to see Tricia and John’s guests jumping into the ocean during the open dancing!  They kept the party going late-night, dancing on the boat on the hour long ride back to Vallarta and then headed downtown to continue the festivities!  Here are a few of my faves from the day:

Alissa and Cody were married at Las Caletas in Mexico. The party never stopped! It even continued on the boat back from Caletas! They were troopers during their True Romance shoot after the wedding- the water was cold and the beach was rocky! I was excited that Genevieve Nisly was able to come down and second shoot for me. Here are a few of my faves from the day, or you can watch the slideshow here.

How gorgeous are these flowers!?!?
