An Enchanted El Dorado wedding - Photos

I raved about this wedding in an earlier blog, just after I returned from coordinating Heather & Alan's wedding. Now, I have received the photos, and I am so excited to share them! (It takes about 3 weeks to receive the photos from the photographer, Manuel Burgoin, and they look incredible.)

Meet Heather, the bride...she is truly model material and she had a special glow about her that day.And here is Alan, her true love:

Together, they are a magical match made in heaven. (I know, cliche, but true!)

Heather did her pre-ceremony photography at her father's home in Cabo

The bridesmaids & bride processed down a very long rock staircase that was spectacular, lending itself to these gorgeous pictures.





Heather & Alan's ceremony was officiated by Heather's step-dad, which is a great way to have a very intimate, funny & special ceremony. Who else knows you both better, and can truly share what your love is about, than someone in your family?




The reception was held at the Mercado area at El Dorado. Guests were transported by my awesome transport guys (who moved 140 guests for 3 days to and from a multitude of locations for events this week-end!) from the ceremony area and were greeted with a Mexican Trio and incredible hors d'ouvres. This is the time when the bride & groom get to take those beautiful "Cabo" wedding beach photos.




The reception decor at this wedding was gorgeous...Romantic Old World Mexican!





For entertainment, Heather & Alan had an acoustic guitarist play during dinner, a live band, Cabo Max play from 9-12, and then a DJ play from 12 midnight to 2:30am.



Heather's choice of an elegant sea shell wedding cake was a perfect choice. (Cake supplied by the very talented Deena at Sweet Dreams.)



(I love the details here...the little pearl inside the clam shell on top of the cake!)

The night would not have been complete without the amazing fireworks!

CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS BEAUTIFUL COUPLE!

BRIDE & GROOM: Paulina & Mike WEDDING DATE: Sat, April 17, 2010 LOCATION: Rehearsal Dinner: Private Villa, Wedding & Reception: El Dorado Beach & Golf Club NUMBER OF GUESTS: 68 Back Story: I met Paulina's mom, Rocio, in the midst of coordinating an earlier El Dorado wedding (see previous blog for Heather & Alan's wedding.) She saw how beautiful Heather & Alan's wedding was and said, "I know my daughter, Paulina, wants her wedding to be here too." From that moment on, Rocio & I hit it off, and her daughter, Paulina, the bride, was just as beautiful and gracious as her mother. We had a great year together planning Paulina & Mike's wedding. (I also did Rocio's wedding on El Dorado's yacht, El Discovery, soon after we met...but that is another story...and another blog...) The Ceremony Decor: Paulina had a great sense of color and knew she wanted to include a chandelier in her ceremony decor. I drove this chandelier down the
