A romantic session under the Milky Way

July 14, 2021 · Puerto Vallarta

The new moon was clear and moving toward the horizon to settle into the immense sea; the sky was clean and full of stars. The night was perfect for them to shine like the stars through their love.

For a recently married couple, the Milky Way can be so relaxing. When you spend months preparing such a big event as a wedding, it is such a relief when it is finally over.

For those adventurers seeking a romantic session, the Milky Way is perfect. This option combines a Trash the Dress session during the day and a Milky Way session at night — a 24-hour trip in a superb bay, free of any light pollution. We drive 80 kilometers south of Puerto Vallarta, a short two-hour drive, and spend the day on the pristine beach.

Trash the Dress is done at sunset, just before the delicious fish tacos this little fishing town has to offer. Finally, we do the Milky Way session. If the couple is up for it, we can camp and really enjoy the beauty of the night; for those who would rather sleep in comfortable sheets, there is a nice hotel nearby.

The location is what makes the session so incredible and the shots so amazing. Milky Way sessions can be done in most Mexican regions from April to October. From a scientific point of view, we all come from stardust — there's not much to say, the shots speak for themselves.
