It feels really good to have something to show Trisha.  She was one of the first people to book with me when I first set out on my own apart from Elizabeth Lloyd  with whom I’d  been second shooting for two years.  She was also the very first person to book Holgas as part of her wedding package!  (Which I’ve already posted and you can see here).

Trisha and Luke were both awesome and Kelley from Las Caletas did another great job.  My second shooter for the day was Jillian Mitchell, a San Pancho based ex-pat photographer, and a member of what I’m starting to think of as The Vallarta Foto Crew.  You can check Jillian’s blog and photos at http://jillianmitchell.net

I love the first nine photos below.  Trish is like a little mannequin getting primped and dressed by everyone else.  It’s incredible the amount of detail and things that go into a bride getting ready and I’m amazed every time I see it happen.  I love those photos because you just see parts and pieces; first the eyelashes, the lips, then her head, somewhat detached in the third photo, like, well, a mannequin.

It isn’t until the ninth photo that you see her face straight on and you realize that after all that, she’s finally ready to walk out amongst her best friends, family and, most importantly, Luke.

But please don’t stop there.  Trish is beautiful and so relaxed in front of the camera.  The boat ride back at the end was just a giant party.

Tomorrow I’ll post her Trash-the-Dress photos from Sayulita, and the above photo is a preview of that.  But for now enjoy these!
