Stephanie and Austin’s story began at a taco bar, after connecting online. While Stephanie had been avoiding online dating and dreading the whole process, Austin ended up being her very first date, and the last one she ever needed.

The proposal came during a trip to the Tetons, surrounded by close friends and stunning views. While out on a hike, Austin pulled Stephanie down onto the rocks for what she thought was a photo moment. Instead, he surprised her with the best question of her life, making it a moment she’ll never forget.

When it came to choosing a wedding location, Mexico felt like the perfect fit. They wanted to truly enjoy their wedding, soak up extra time with friends and family, and add a little fun in the sun. Stephanie also loved the idea of not being in charge of every little detail, which made a destination wedding an easy yes.

Their big day took place at Secrets and Dreams Bahia Mita in Puerto Vallarta. With dreamy weather, their ceremony unfolded on rocky, sandy edges overlooking the ocean. Stephanie and Austin exchanged personal vows, surrounded by about 60 friends and family who celebrated with them all weekend long. Between sneaking away for fun shots near the rocks, nonstop dancing, amazing food, and a surprise fireworks finale, the night ended on the highest note possible.
