Michelle & Marina — LGBTQ+ Wedding in Puerto Vallarta & Punta Mita

July 4, 2026 · St. Regis Punta Mita

Michelle and Marina wanted to get married in Mexico — and they chose the best locations for it.

Three days of LGBTQ+ wedding celebration in Puerto Vallarta

Three days of partying with their friends: a night out in downtown Puerto Vallarta, a rehearsal dinner at Tuna Blanca in Punta Mita, and the ceremony at the St. Regis Punta Mita. A luxury villa with a direct view of the ocean, a private pool, palm trees, 365 days of sun, and all of their family and LGBTQ+ friends around them — every ingredient was there for the best recipe. They got what they were looking for, and so did I: this was one of the best weddings you can remember!

Why I love photographing LGBTQ+ weddings in Vallarta

Couples like Michelle and Marina remind me why I love LGBTQ+ weddings. You can feel and live this fantastic vibe — full of cheerfulness, love and happiness, with a poetic touch of silliness. All ages, all colors mixed, all the continents in one, all the feelings in one: love, love, and more love.

"When love talks, everyone feels it — and when the party starts, everybody rises up to the dance floor."

Thank you, Michelle and Marina, for letting me be part of your wedding. It made me smile the whole day — with some tears from time to time. Both of you are fantastic, both of you are beautiful, both of you are wonderful, and I wish you the longest happiness possible on earth!

Venue: St. Regis Punta Mita · Rehearsal dinner: Tuna Blanca, Punta Mita · Photography & video: Julien Leveau
