A Grand Miramar Resort Wedding in Puerto Vallarta

With a love that began in a whirlwind of fate, laughter, and adventure, their celebration felt like the perfect culmination of their journey together.

In the heart of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, Sara and Evan’s wedding at the Grand Miramar Resort was nothing short of magical. With a love that began in a whirlwind of fate, laughter, and adventure, their celebration felt like the perfect culmination of their journey together. From the way they met to the intimate moments shared on their special day, every detail of their wedding radiated with love.

How It All Began

Evan first laid eyes on Sara in a picture tagged on Facebook. There was something about her that caught his attention immediately. The only problem? They were in different states… he was in California and she was in Arizona. But fate had a plan. Their paths crossed at a New Year’s Eve party, and when the clock struck midnight, Evan seized the moment. He asked Sara for their first kiss, and to his delight, she said yes! What followed was a beautiful journey with a few months apart, but soon after, they reconnected, and this time, it stuck. Ten months later, Evan made the bold move to Arizona, and their love story began its next chapter.

A Proposal in Paris

Evan’s proposal to Sara is the stuff of dreams. After a day spent exploring the romantic streets of Paris and indulging in all the touristy fun, they ended their evening at the world-famous Moulin Rouge show. Afterward, the couple planned a midnight picnic beneath the iconic Eiffel Tower. As the clock turned midnight and the Tower sparkled in the distance, Evan pulled out a ring, and in a moment of pure magic, he asked Sara to be his forever. Though Sara had a feeling the proposal was coming, nothing could have prepared her for the surprise that left her speechless for a few moments. It was, in every sense of the word, a perfect proposal in the most romantic city on earth.

A Beautiful Couple, Inside and Out

One of the most beautiful aspects of Sara and Evan’s relationship is the way they complement each other. Sara’s favorite thing about Evan is his unwavering support and kindness. She adores his sweet gestures like bringing flowers home, holding her hand, and simply making her laugh with his corny jokes. The way he challenges her to be the best version of herself only deepens her love for him. Evan, on the other hand, is captivated by Sara’s smile and the way her whole face lights up with happiness. He knows, deep in his heart, that she’ll make the most amazing mom, and he’s excited for all that the future holds.

Getting Ready for the Big Day

The morning of their wedding was filled with excitement and anticipation. Sara and her bridesmaids, including her precious 2-year-old niece, wore matching robes as they prepared for the day ahead. Her dad, who has always been her rock, shared an emotional first look before the ceremony, his presence made the day even more special.

Meanwhile, Evan and his groomsmen, including his father, got ready in another room in the Grand Miramar Resort. Evan wore a gold ring passed down from his Opa (grandfather in Dutch), a sentimental piece that made the day even more meaningful. The bond between father and son was evident in the shared laughter and moments of connection.

The Ceremony: An Intimate and Beautiful Moment

The wedding ceremony was held outdoors at the Grand Miramar Resort, with the stunning backdrop of Puerto Vallarta’s coastal views. As Sara walked down the aisle, her eyes locked on Evan. For them, this moment was a culmination of everything they had been through together, their long distance days, their adventures together, and their love. No first look was needed because Sara wanted to save that moment for when she walked toward Evan at the ceremony. The emotion in the air was palpable as they exchanged vows, surrounded by close family and friends who had watched their love story unfold.

A Celebration Like No Other

After the ceremony, the celebration continued with a reception that was as intimate and joyful as the couple themselves. Guests danced the night away, toasting to the love that had brought Sara and Evan to this moment. It was a beautiful, timeless celebration of their love… a love built on laughter, support, and a shared passion for adventure.

Sara and Evan’s wedding was a reminder of how powerful love can be when it’s nurtured by patience, kindness, and joy. Their journey together is just beginning, and I have no doubt that their marriage will be filled with even more adventures, laughter, and beautiful memories. Here’s to a love that is as timeless as the memories they created at the Grand Miramar Resort.

"Taylor is an absolutely amazing photographer and person! She goes above and beyond and makes sure each session is perfect! My husband and I never know how to pose and she always knows the cutest things to do and how to break the ice. We’ve now had Taylor take our engagement, wedding, and maternity photos, and we can’t wait to use her in the near future again! I can’t recommend her enough!."

"You will not find a more talented photographer and genuine person to entrust with your memorable photos."

She did an incredible job capturing our special day. In fact, she's so good that it's hard to pick our favorite pictures. Equally as important, she is very sweet, hilarious, and organized which helped to make the day seamless and stress free. She is a joy to be around, has a great eye for photography, and a stunning aesthetic.
