San Juan Capistrano Mission - Kathy & Alberto engagement session

Kathy & Alberto had a gorgeous wedding (which I will be happy to share just as soon as I get all caught up with all the other events I need to post... lol!!), their weddding was planned to be rustic and gorgeous with a touch of 'cowboy'- so it was only natural that they wanted their engagement session to reflect a similar rustic style.  They're both from Southern California, so they picked the incredibly gorgeous Mission at San Juan Capistrano.  Kathy and Alberto are such a sweet couple... who definitely didn't mind showing my camera a little bit of their love! Thank you guys for being so lovable!!!

Kathy y Alberto tuvieron una boda hermosa (la cual estare feliz de compartir en cuanto me ponga al corriente con todas los otros eventos que me faltan por compartir... lol!!), su boda fue rustica, hermosa, y con un toque vaquero - asi de que era natural que quisieran hacer su sesion de compromiso en un lugar que reflejara un estilo rustico.  Los dos son del sur de California, asi de que escogieron la hermosisima Mission de San Juan Capistrano.  Kathy y Alberto son una pareja tan linda... que definitivamente no les molestaba demostrar su amor en frente de mi camara!!! Gracias chicos por ser tan adorables!!!

Nuevo Vallarta Trash the Dress - Grand Velas Rivera Nayarit - Shari-Ann & Kofi

The day after documenting Shari-Ann & Kofi's fabulous wedding at the Grand Velas Resort Rivera Nayarit, we had an amazing time shooting Shari-Ann & Kofi's Trash the Dress session.  We started early in the morning and drove over to the little town of Bucerias.  With it's colorful backdrops and wonderful beach-'pueblo' feel - it was the perfect backdrop to start the TTD session.  Then we moved back to the Grand Velas Resort to do a few underwater pool shots and then moved over to the beautiful beach.  As expected, Shari-Ann and Kofi were a model-perfect couple - willing and ready to bring their style and flare!!! It was so much fun!!! 
Ok... I do have to admit one thing... I was absolutely terrified to go underwater.  I'm absolutely terrified of the water... I was shaking and hyperventilating - the whole show!! lol!!! And we were just in the POOL... how sad is that?!?!  I am such a dork!!!

El dia despues de documentar la fabulosa boda de Shari-Ann & Kofi en el Grand Velas Resort Rivera Nayarit, nos la pasamos increible en la sesion de 'Trash the Dress'.  Empezamos tempranito en el pueblo de Bucerias.  Con su colorido y estilo de pueblo-playa, fue el lugar ideal para empezar el Trash.  Luego regresamos al Grand Velas para hacer algunas tomas bajo agua en la alberca; y terminamos en la hermosa playa.  Como se esperaba, Shari-Ann y Kofi fueron la pareja-modelo perfecta - listos y dispuestos a injectar su estilo y amor!!!  Fue tan divertido!!!
OK... tengo que admitir una cosita... yo tenia un miedo horrible a la alberca.  Yo le tengo mucho miedo al agua... estaba temblando como loca!!!!  No tienen idea el horror que tenia!  Y eso que solo estabamos en la alberca... jajaja!! soy una tontita!!! jajaja!

Nuevo Vallarta Grand Velas wedding - Shari-Ann & Kofi

Shari-Ann & Kofi had an absolutely ah-mazing wedding - what can you expect from such a stylish couple.   Every single detail of the wedding was just fabulous and perfectly designed and planned out! They chose the absolutely gorgeous Grand Velas Resort & Spa in Nuevo Vallarta as their picture-perfect wedding venue. I knew from our many emails that Shari-Ann knew had style and she was ready to 'bring it' on her wedding day!!! but, I definitely under-estimated exactly how much style this wedding would have!!!! hahaha!

They wanted a super intimate wedding... surrounded by their closest family and friends... surrounded by genuine love and happiness!  It was so incredible to meet their families... to be able to share these moments with them!  I have never witnessed a wedding with so much emotion from everyone involved... it was simply beautiful!!!

Shari-Ann & Kofi tuviero una boda absolutamente hermosa - pero que se podia esperar de una pareja llena de tanto estilo.  Cada detalle de su boda era fabuloso y perfectamente disenado y planeado!  Escogieron el hermoso hotel Grand Velas Resort & Spa en Nuevo Vallarta para tener su boda perfecta.  Yo sabia que Shari-Ann tenia estilo y estaba lista para demostrarlo en su boda!!!!  Pero, definitivamente sub-estime exactamente cuanto estilo tendria la boda!!! hahaha!

Ellos querian una boda super intima... rodeados de sus amigos y familia mas cercana... rodeados de amor y felicidad sincera!!  Fue tan increible conocer a sus familias y poder compartir esos momento con ellos! Nunca habia presenciado una boda con tanta emocion de parte de todos... fue simplemente hermoso!

Emily & Adam Chapala Engagement - Sesion de Compromiso en Chapala

Emily and Adam are the type of couple that are so in sync with each other that no words are needed... that type of couple that just knows each other so much, that they seem like they've been together forever.  And they have.  When I firt met them, I was amazed that they seemed like a couple that has been married for years... a couple that just falls perfectly into each other... something only time can develop in a relationship.  I loved seeing them together... seeing how at peace they were with each other.  They're from the US, but their wedding was in Chapala/Ajijic... where Emily has plenty of childhood memories growing up throughout the years.
Emily and Adam - thanks for letting me capture your peaceful love!!!
