Nicole & Dave-Vows on the Beach

The sun was low in the sky, the guests were seated in a circle on the beach, as Nicole prepared to appear as a picture-perfect bride.
Dave was deeply moved by Nicole upon seeing her, as were their dear friends and family that had made the trip to this beautiful place called Yelapa.
The light became warmer and soon enough, the Kiss led to the shaking of maracas and the strumming of the Mariachi.
Though this was the highlight and the reason for the trip to Mexico, the days and nights surrounding the wedding were...soul quenching.

CANAMEX- Canada to Mexico in one week.

Last month was a big destination wedding time for us.
We started off in Canada for Dene and Mykee's wedding in a pretty little town called Niagara-on-the-Lake on the shore of Lake Ontario. Theresa and I took advantage of some free time to visit the Canada side of Niagara Falls where springtime flowers were just then blooming.
A mere 3 days later, I went to a secluded place called Yelapa, some 45 minutes by boat from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. What brought me there was Nicole and Dave's wedding but I took a few extra days to decompress. A snorkeling sidetrip to Las Marietas islands kicked off my vacation with some nice sunshine (and a mild sunburn). The next day I chose to ride up to the waterfall on horseback. The dusty trail uphill paid off with a refreshing dip.

Dene & Mykee-Wedding in Ontario, Canada

Niagara-on-the-Lake in Ontario Canada is a gorgeous place.
We went there last month to photograph Dene and Mykee's wedding.
Everyone at the wedding was so nice and photogenic; it made picture-taking quite fun.
It was especially touching to see how loving Dene and Mykee's families were.
Everything about this wedding was just simply beautiful.
