Sayulita, Mexico, Elopement / Wedding with Cody and Leah 2022

North about an hour via car, or taxi, from Puerto Vallarta there is a beautiful little town by the name of Sayulita.  Be warned: if visiting, the road from Puerto Vallarta can be a bit harrowing!  The road is tight and serpentine for several miles as it winds through the coastal hills and jungles.  I had the pleasure of experiencing this town for several days thanks to Cody and Leah hiring me to take photos of their little wedding, or elopement, that they planned in March (a great time to be there, by the way). 

They rented a lovely beach-side cabana to stay in with their small party, as well as to host their wedding ceremony, just North of town.  We employed a few golf carts to shuttle guests to and from town which was perfect for the sandy and cobble-filled streets of Sayulita. 

The carts were also fantastic for whisking away the bride and groom for some candid sunset photos up the beach from the casa!  The beach.  Sayulita is in the midst of a large bay with a spectacular beach running from end to end for several miles.  The town is on the Southern side of the bay, while our lodging was closer to the Northern end.  The crew surfed every day that we were there.  Several species of seabird were present in the bay and it was exciting watching them fish throughout the days.

The neighboring architecture, flora, and fauna also made for some great photography spots!

I couldn't be more pleased with my whole experience in this lovely section of Mexico!  The town is cute and small, the lodging and airfare were very reasonable, the food was delicious, the beach was massive, the views were stunning, and everyone had an excellent time.  The perfect wedding locale.
