Trash the Dress in Puerto Vallarta Mexico

We have had an amazing time in Mexico so far. We came here to relax but could not resist the temptation to take advantage of this beautiful location. My cousin let me borrow one of her extra wedding dresses to use in Mexico (more from her Bridal and Trash the Dress session in a couple weeks). We didn’t really have a plan in place when we got to Bucerias but we knew we could find someone to model for us. While visiting a local bar with our neighbors we noticed a girl that looked like she would fit the dress perfectly… soooo we went up and asked her if she would like to model for us. Turns out her boyfriend is from New Braunfels, not to far from where I went to College in San Marcos. It could not have worked out more perfectly. John and Renata were kind enough to take us around Puerto Vallarta to some beautiful locations on the beach. I got a little sunburned and me feet got a little cut up walking around on the rocks but it was totally worth it!

Bridal session in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

We just couldn’t resist a photo shoot while in Mexico! We meet some local friends at a bar called Yo Yo Mos in downtown Bucerias. Renata was super awesome and she fit the dress we brought perfectly! We were in this amazing location, poolside in a Resort but quickly got booted… so we just went down to the beach. It was an amazing day with more to come tomorrow… we will be shooting more in Puerto Vallarta, Stay tuned…



Trip to Italy

In the summer of 2007 I had the opportunity to travel to Italy. I love to Travel because it really opens up your mind to the world of possibilities. Overall I was there for 5 weeks visiting cities such as Florence, Rome, and Pisa. I also had the opportunity to trace my family roots back to Cefelu, Sicily. I spent the last week in the same small town where my great grandmother grew up in Sant Ambrogio, Sicily.

Truly an amazing experience. Here are some of my favorite photos. I would love the chance to shoot a wedding in this beautiful country.
