The Best Season for a Puerto Vallarta Elopement
The dry, sunny winter high season, the warm shoulders, and the lush green of the summer rains. A Pacific bay whose seasons follow the rains and the humidity.
You assume any month on the Mexican Pacific is the same warm beach.
The rains and the humidity say otherwise, and they decide your day.
Vallarta has a real season, and the winter window gives the clear skies and comfortable heat the summer cannot.

November through April is the dry, sunny high season: clear skies, low humidity, comfortable evenings, and reliable golden-hour light over the bay. It is the peak, and the best dates book early.
Winter and the shoulders
November through April is the dry, sunny high season: clear skies, low humidity, comfortable evenings, and reliable golden-hour light over the bay. It is the peak, and the best dates book early.
The shoulders, late April and November, keep much of that with fewer people and lower rates.
Summer and the rains
May through October runs hot and humid, with afternoon and evening storms and the greenest the Sierra Madre gets. It is quieter and cheaper, the light after a storm can be extraordinary, and it rewards flexibility and a plan.
Pick the window for the conditions you want, then hand me the date. As your Elopement Curator I track the weather, arrange the vendors, and both shoot and film it. Twelve years and 240+ couples in, the season here is a real decision, and I make it with you.
