Fun and joyful from start to finish, Evita and Alex’s destination wedding in Puerto Vallerta, Mexico is such a blast! Complete with a JT music video featuring the groom and his entourage, these newlyweds gave their guests an incredible night to remember, and it was all captured by the talented Elizabeth Lloyd.

The Couple: Evita and Alex

The Wedding: 4.26.2013 – Casa China Blanca, Puerto Vallerta, Mexico

The Inspiration: Alex and I are total film buffs, in fact we met in a college film course over seven years ago! Since then, film has been a big part of our relationship and when it came to figuring out the aesthetics for our wedding day, we knew we wanted something breathtaking and grand that would make our guests feel like they had been transported into a scene out of a movie. With the guidance of the incredible Dazzling Details, we found a venue that fit our vision perfectly – in fact we realized later we had SEEN our venue in movies in the past! Dazzling brought to life the vintage chic wedding I had dreamed of, as well as created incredible custom marquee lights as another nod back to our love of film.

Nothing short of exquisite, this woodland bridal style inspiration shoot by Seattle based wedding photographer Ryan Flynn Photography takes my breath away! It’s a genius combination – everything from the lush green setting to the jaw-dropping bouquets provide a tranquility and serenity that adds so much to the look.

Here are a few words from Ryan on the inspiration for this enchanting photo shoot: This summer, I got to work with some of my absolute favorite people in the Seattle wedding business on an inspiration shoot. It’s always fun to collaborate with such talented individuals. Rachel, of Finch and Thistle Event Design, and I wanted to put something together that was woodsy, ethereal, and organic. The Sarah Seven blush wedding dress and wild flowers fit perfectly with the model’s amazing red hair.
