Hiya Cakies! Following up on the recap of our recent trip to Punta Mita, we have a little treat for you from our friend and talented local photographer Jillian Mitchell. She’s rounded up some of her favorite spots in the Sayulita area, which is an amazing resource for any of your considering a wedding down that way, or even just a fun Mexico vacation in the future! We’ll let her take it from here.
Destination weddings are the absolute best. I might be biased since that where I spend a lot of my time, but hands down my favorite weddings have always been the closest friends and family of the bride and groom gathered in a beautiful space to spend the week or weekend. When else do you get to celebrate love and have a killer vacation at the same time" And what better place to do it in than a warm, sunny, tropical paradise. For more than eleven years I have called the paradise that is the west coast of Mexico home and that?s where my wedding photography got its start. Just north of the Puerto Vallarta airport (about an hour drive) lies a not so hidden (anymore) gem named Sayulita.
Sayulita is the small fishing town that became a large vacation village. In the 80?s there was one dirt road and a couple small palapa restaurants on the beach and by the time I got here 20 years later there were hotels (albeit tiny ones) and small shops, but for the most part it was still sort of sleepy with only two bars for nightlife, compared to the twenty some odd there is now....
