FATHER DAUGHTER DANCE

A father and daughter dance can be so emotional! (well all dances are emotional)

Here, Silvia is dancing with her father in Puerto Vallarta Mexico.You can feel the emotion just by look at them. You can see Dad embracing the moment by closing his eyes. Even though you can't see Silvia's face, you can tell she is doing the same thing, by the way her face is pressed so closely to her father.

The lens flare cast from the lights just makes this even more beautiful!

Neal here, Danielle mentioned the lights so I thought I'd chime in to let you know how I got this effect. Like we always do we discuss what the game plan is with the DJ and videographers so that we're all on the same page with the rundown of events. Luckily everyone spoke enough English for me to get the information I needed! I noticed that the DJ had a smoke machine, since the reception was outside and we didn't have to worry about setting off smoke alarms. I requested that he really pumped up the smoke during the first dances. The smoke plus the lights is how you get those light rays & lens flares just like you see at concerts. I found my spot to shoot from and waited for the moment where the emotion was perfect and I got my shot! I loved this effect so much that I got the same effect for the Groom & Mother dance.

PUERTO VALLARTA POST BRIDAL

Yes, I know we are showing another image from Silvia and Joe's wedding in Puerto Vallarta Mexico. But, look how beautiful this is!

When we photograph destination weddings, our clients usually hire us more than just the wedding day. We're at unique locations so why not take advantage of us being there!? Most of the time, we have at least 2 or more days of shooting. That is why you are seeing so much of this lovely couple. We got so many amazing images that we want to share.

This was from the last day of shooting. We got this at the NOW Amber Hotel right before we were to catch our flight home. This is in the main lobby area. There are tables for the guests to hang out at that open up right to the outside. You can see all the way down to the beach. It is an amazing view. We had Silvia and Joe at the edge of the lobby (there is also an infinite water pond that lines the entire lobby). 

I think this image is so pretty. I love how Neal chose to shoot through the seating area and include it in the photo. If we cropped it in, it took away from the overview feel of the image. He also got very low to the ground so that he could take advantage of the reflection from the marble floor. And obviously Silvia and Joe look amazing!

MOTHER AND DAUGHTER

This is one of my favorite moments from Silvia and Joe's wedding in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

Here is a very beautiful moment between Silvia and her mother. You can see how much love they have for each other. Silvia and her mother had such an amazing bond. You can't help but get teary eyed when there are moments like this. It is so heart warming.
