Wedding: Jason & Chelsea | Grand Fiesta Americana, Puerto Vallarta | Analisa Joy Photography | Upland, CA Photographer

Believe it or not, Chelsea discovered my photography through Instagram. That is the main reason why I love social media. It’s amazing how you are able to connect with people through hashtags and explore pages. When Chelsea inquired about wedding photography at an all inclusive resort in Mexico I was beyond excited. Once we began exchanging details, we instantly connected as friends. She called me to ask a few questions and we ended up on the phone together for over an hour. We discussed wedding info, but then we mainly went on tangents about our love for food and Bravo.

When I arrived in Mexico, it was my first time meeting Jason and Chelsea in person. These two have to be one of the nicest couples that I have ever worked with. Planning a destination wedding is hard work. You aren’t able to run over to your venue or quickly meet up with your vendors when you have a question or complication. You mainly have to trust that the people you hired will understand your vision and make it come to life. Chelsea was creative and organized throughout the entire process and I loved the effort that they put into their day to make sure that it all came together.

Chelsea and Jason were relaxed throughout their whole day. I really loved that their main objective was to make sure that their loved ones were having a blast… not just on their big day, but throughout the wedding weekend. Their goal was effortlessly accomplished because it was one of the funnest weddings/weekends that I have attended. The resort was awesome and filled with delicious food and drinks everywhere you turned. The wedding details were flawless and their reception was the highlight of the night. I loved that even in the humidity, their dance floor was never empty. Guests chose to sweat through their clothes and/or change their outfits because they did not want to stop celebrating Jason and Chelsea. I felt so honored to be a part of such a special day and I am so excited to share my favorite images with you all. This wedding was a dream to photograph and every detail came together with perfection. Congrats Jason and Chelsea!

I loved shooting at the Grand Fiesta Americana, Puerto Vallarta

In love with her champagne details!

First look with Dad. So sweet!

Bridal PERFECTION!

Truly, one of the sweetest grooms I have ever photographed!

My favorite part of the morning was in the midst of the getting ready chaos, Jason found time to silence the room just to give a genuine thank you to the men that were so special in his life. It was so heartfelt and sincere. I was tearing up just watching their reactions.
