Part 3: the party. (catch up on part 1 and part 2 here)

As expected, the party was unstoppable. The tent Annah & Morgan had hired in the lower gardens of the villa was decked out like a club with cushy white seats and ottomans, and colorful chandeliers -- perfect for lounging around with friends on a warm summer night.

Just before the party moved down to the tent, we grabbed a few last group shots of the guys. I love these. I think they say it all on their own....

And a few shots of the ladies roaming the streets of San Miguel with mango margaritas and enormous crazy lady puppets...

At the end of the cocktail hour, the guests were all treated to a sweet surprise fireworks show.

Annah & Morgan's first dance...

And then the party really got started....
(**Note for photogs...the images below were all shot in raw and edited in ACR only. PS'd for sharpening and logo addition only. I've been working on developing some new ACR settings that I am so excited about and you will definitely be seeing more of these down the road!**)

Annah & Morgan...thank you for bringing me out for the celebration! It was a truly amazing trip, and I could not have asked to spend it with better people.

And finally, a HUGE thanks to my fabulous second shooter, fellow adventurer, and most excellent travel partner, Maari Christante, without whom I never would have experienced the best tamales in all of Mexico. So much love to you, lady! Can't wait to shoot together again.
