    Robert & Georgina // 08.16.08 // Puerto Vallarta

    Ok faithful blog fanatics, I am officially back in the game!
    Other weddings from the last 2 months are still coming...in the next month.

    What a way to resume with Robert and Georgina's destination wedding in Puerto Vallarta.
    Actually Georgina is originally from Puerto Vallarta but joins Robert at their homes in Cabo (2 of them), Santa Cruz and Scottsdale. Where they actually live, I don't know :) I think the latest frequent spot is Cabo since they are opening a winery downtown. So if you haven't guessed it yet, Robert is an entrepreneur in real estate, computer engineering, aircraft re-building, travel and title ownership (and I guess add restaurant ownership now). Georgina is just his young, beautiful, smart, attorney wife, that's all :)

    So this wedding had both a destination feel with an all out family fiesta ending.

    Just your average 6 story ocean front villa the family stayed at for the week prior to the wedding...(oh and me too for a few days)

    10 4x4's 8 4x8 sheets of wood and some nice decor later, the pool was transformed into a cliff side venue.



    The day prior, we drove about an hour and a half south of Puerto Vallarto to a little town called El Tuito for a civil ceremony. We shot some stylin' portraits on the way back.
















    I have no idea what this gentleman was singing but they sure made it sound festive!




    Literally 5 minutes after the ceremony, it started downpouring. Luckily it let up about 10 minutes before sunset for a few family pics and down to the rocks below for some sunset photos to cap the night.


    I never checked the temperature while down there (I'm lost when my iPhone gets negative 3 bars) but I can officially say it was the hottest I have ever been shooting a wedding. (something about being right in the middle of a rainforest had something to do with it) So I didn't blame Georgina for a second for changing during the reception.


    Actually the "night" capped about 3:30am. They banned me from photos after midnight. Just kidding, I couldn't stand up anymore after 17 hours so I hit the sack. Party Pooper!

    Congrats Robert and Georgina! You and your families were genuinely so fun and welcoming to me. It was a fiesta to remember.

    I have a slideshow coming asap. I have to get Showit Web going again since I have changed computers and my laptop crashed.

    Ashley & Jeff /updated/

    OK, I know these images are some of the same as the previous post but I have been working on some new enhanced style. So with a little more pixel love put into them...here ya go.
    I would love to hear about your favorites in the comments.
    I'll write a little bit about Ashley & Jeff at the bottom.



















    So, a little about this crazy in love couple: Jeff is from right here in Norman and went to OBU. Ashley went to OSU and found out about me at Amber & Chris' wedding in July (Amber is the smokin' bride I have featured in my Beautiful Days section on my portfolio site. She is the one at the Colcord.)
    Last summer, Ashley was in Cambridge studying abroad and Jeff flew over and surprised her with a trip to Paris. So in true Tom & Kat style, they got engaged at the Eiffel Tower.
    These two are really cool together, they have been to Australia and Panama many time on missions work. Jeff is an assoc. Pastor in Jackson ,TN and seems so sincerely into it. That is awesome. So after our shoot in Nashville, we grabbed a bite to eat and chatted about our ministry and missions adventures.
    I am so glad to have another couple who is beautiful inside and out and who have not only a stylin' wedding planned but a great foundation of being in love!
    Check back in a couple weeks for some wedding images.
