Chapter 03 · The timeline
Hour by hour. Nothing left to chance.
Early evening
A casual walk
Looks like an aperitivo through old town. Already, things are in motion.
Dusk
Onto the island
Lanterns come up. The river hushes the city.
The moment
You ask
At the reserved spot. Florals already set. Stone, water, light.
Chapter 04 · Real proposals
What's included in my planning
Everything I take care of.
Florals, photography, food and transportation all sit inside my planning, along with the extra details you choose. What each one covers is listed in your written quote before anything is booked.
Florals and styling+
Styling with florals and candles designed for the setting, plus a bouquet of 24 roses. Setup and breakdown are on me, so you walk into something already finished.
Photography+
One hour of professional photography with 20 chosen and professionally edited photos, delivered within 15 days. It sits inside the planning, never as a separate fee.
Food and celebration+
I help you book dinner or the celebration after the yes, and coordinate the timing so nothing reveals itself early. What your package covers is written into your quote.
Transportation+
In the pre-designed packages, transport is included whenever the setting is inside Puerto Vallarta proper. I arrange the private transfer from where you are staying to the setting and back. Settings outside Puerto Vallarta, such as Nuevo Nayarit, Bucerias, Sayulita or Cabo Corrientes, are quoted separately before anything is confirmed.
The extra details you chose+
Live music, video, extended photo coverage, a second shooter, a private chef. I coordinate all of it inside the same planning, and each one is quoted on top of what the package already covers.
