A warm breeze off Bahía de Banderas ruffles the bride’s veil as late afternoon light slips between the palms on the Malecon. Photographers position themselves where the Sierra Madre meets the sea, hunting angles that capture both the coastline’s broad curve and the small, human moments — hands clasping, parents watching, laughter between vows.
