As the snow returns to Edmonton this weekend, it seems like the perfect time to post my favourite photos from my trip to Ixtapa from February of this year.

In case you aren't familiar with Ixtapa (I wasn't) it's actually a 10 minute drive from Zihuatanejo. And if you've seen The Shawshank Redemption, you'll recognize that as the place where Andy Dufresne says he wants to retire. That was all I needed to hear to book my trip there!

The sunsets during my trip were so great! I took hundreds and hundreds of photos of just sunsets. I've narrowed down my favourites for you to these ones here:

And here are some of my favourites from the rest of my trip:

You can take a look at a few larger galleries as well.

What an experience!

What a beautiful wedding.

Bonnie and Doug booked us several years ago to shoot their big day. It feels like so long ago that we braved the bitter February cold for their engagement session. When we signed up for it, it was going to be a standard in-Edmonton event. As time passed however, the idea of a Mexican wedding emerged and we couldn't have been more excited to be a part of it.

The two-week affair started with a small, intimate ceremony at the Sawridge Inn in Edmonton where Doug, a newly graduated RCMP officer, was decked out in his Red Serge, while Bonnie looked stunning in her first of two dresses. We took a few photos there then we were off to Cancun.

A beautiful stay at the Dreams Puerto Aventuras. The staff were excellent. The food was exceptional. The location, every photographer's dream. We are so happy with how the photos turned out.
