Juan.

This is Juan. He sells cotton candy in San Pancho. He also has a trampoline that he sets up in the plaza. I have a problem approaching people I don’t know to take their photograph. Especially Mexicans. Don’t gots no balls. During Semana Santa I saw Juan walking up and down the beach selling his cotton candy and finally one day it was so hot that he was taking a break on the malecon near La Perla. I really wanted to approach him and I told Bola who immediately was like, “Hey can my girlfriend take a photo of you?” Which of course embarrassed me to the point of no return and had me backtracking trying to ask him myself and looking like an idiot, but Juan was so lovely and said yes and I snapped away for a few minutes. I printed the one on the right for him and brought it to him at the trampoline the next day. His face lit up when he saw the photo and he just kept saying how wonderful I was. No Juan. You are the wonderful one.

Ashley+Dave

I met Ashley and Dave when they came down in January to do some scouting for their wedding.  We immediately hit it off over a beer at La Perla and I was so excited when Ashley hired Naef Cuisine to cater and Mishka Designs to add her touch of awesomeness.

Ashley and Dave also decided to see each other before the wedding which I love. It enabled us to get some great shots of the two of them before they got all hot and sweaty. Besides being such a great couple to work with, their friends and family were a blast. Take a look at the bouquet tossing to see how heated it got.

I’m going to start off with the amazing details that Mishka put together. The ceremony decor was based on Monet’s water lillies painting which is Ashley’s favorite and you can see it in the altar, the fans, and the maracas. The place tags were recipes from different countries that Ashley and Dave have traveled to over the years. Love this!

And now on to the wedding…

Christina+Eric

Christina and Eric decided to plan their destination wedding in Nuevo Vallarta at the Palace Resort with only their closest friends and family. I’m so lucky that they did because they were such an incredible couple to have met and I absolutely loved documenting their day. They met in Marfa, Texas (hence the head table setting) and I was told I have to go someday. Eric works for Barefoot Vineyards so there was delicious champagne to be had by all and with hand rolled cigars how can you go wrong? Oh and seriously how cute is Eric’s son Frankie! Love the initial cuff links and converse sneakers!
