may 27th, 2007 . villa amor en sayulita mexico still catching up!!! after the horseman wedding in puerto vallarta on that thursday we headed up to sayulita for deann and ian's awesome wedding. sayulita is about 45 minutes north of puerto vallarta and is a stark contrast to the very commercialized area to the south...it's totally low key with cobblestone streets, easy surf, small restaurants and lots of hippies :) villa amor was an absolutely gorgeous location overlooking the quiet bay of sayulita...it basically took up the entire south side of the bay with different cottages and villas dotting the hillside cliffs. oh, and when i say cliffs, i mean it! that place was a dog to climb around! it was hotter than hell there, add in some humidity, REALLY steep hills, no elevators, and us carrying camera gear and you get two very sweaty photographers :) all of the work was totally worth it though becasue deann and ian were such an amazing couple! they were both so laid back and easy going all day! check out the view from their villa!!!

the monique lhuillier dress and kate spade shoes...a match made in heaven :)

ian staying cool and "hydrated" before the day's festivities got started....

taking care of those pesky stay threads :)

to allow us plenty of time for their photos and because they wanted to be sure to spend time with their guests at the cocktail hour, deann and ian agreed to see each other before the ceremony...check out this awesome moment during their "first sight!"

i LOVE this one...

...and this one!!!

how often do you have a swing inside a villa to play with?!?!!?

ian, the dominator at foozeball!

i saw this kids coloring book laying around the villa...so i asked them to pick out a picture that described how they were feeling :)

they had a gorgeous ceremony filled with many laughs and tears...

how cute is the flowergirl?!?!

after a long hike up the hill guests were greeted with polaroid cameras, sandals....

...and of course yummy cocktails!

and mariachis! cha cha cha!

i love it when we randomly pick up someone else's flash in our shot...talk about a lucky moment!

you didn't think we would forget the rings did you??? this was thier cake topper we briefly stole and put in the fireplace for this awesome ring shot :)
