Real weddings in Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit

By venue

Tropical ceremony installation in terracotta vessels at Casa Kimberly, Puerto Vallarta

Spanish colonial arches and talavera, answered with terracotta vessels of monstera and bird of paradise. Modern tropical, cut to fit the house.

Casa Kimberly, Puerto Vallarta

Reception tables under string lights above Banderas Bay at Grand Miramar

White on white, with no color to lean on. The day turned on form instead — what stayed airy, what went full, and one deliberate note of color holding it together.

Grand Miramar, Puerto Vallarta

Beachfront ceremony set under the tree at St. Regis Punta Mita, chairs facing the Pacific

The Pacific wind decides what stands. Grounded arches and low, structured work that holds its line — built without foam.

St. Regis Punta Mita

Aerial view of a white portal wedding ceremony on the beachfront lawn at Grand Velas

A beachfront resort that swallows small arrangements. I work in scale here — white on white, orchids carrying it.

Grand Velas, Riviera Nayarit

Bride with a bouquet of orchid, anthurium and trailing amaranthus at Tierra Tropical Polo Club

Polo fields running toward the Pacific, horses in the frame. Nothing should compete with that — bird of paradise and coral anthurium, loose enough to look like they grew there.

Tierra Tropical Polo Club, San Pancho

White parasols at an oceanfront wedding ceremony in Sayulita at sunset

Beach ceremonies in green and white, built for a town that stays barefoot.

Ceremony aisle lined with grounded white florals at W Punta de Mita

Coconut palms and open ocean — there’s no improving on that, so I built nothing overhead. The tropical came later, in blush and cream instead of red.

W Punta de Mita

Couple walking below the pavilion at Garza Blanca The Forum

Garza Blanca — The Forum, Puerto Vallarta

The Forum is the architecture, and nothing should argue with it. White on white, loose and low, with the jungle left to do the color.

Styled shoots

Work made to test an idea, not for a couple.

Tablescape in magenta and marigold against terracotta and raw wood

Mexican, edited

Terracotta, amber glass and marigold — the usual Mexican vocabulary, with most of it taken out. One palette, vessels that repeat, and nothing on the table by accident.

Citrus

Coral, peach and yellow in full sun, kept low so the water stays in the frame. Bright color goes plastic on this coast unless you keep it warm.
