What to Wear for a Puerto Escondido Elopement
Tropical heat, a bohemian coast, strong surf, and fiery sunsets. What photographs well against the wild Pacific, with the breeze and the barefoot vibe built in.
You plan a heavy structured gown for the photographs of a lifetime.
Then you remember this coast is barefoot, breezy, and defined by wild surf and sunsets.
Dress for the heat and the bohemian Pacific, and the light, flowing choice suits the wild sea best.

The tropical heat and the laid-back vibe reward lightweight, flowing, unstructured fabric that moves in the strong Pacific breeze, perfect for a barefoot ceremony on the sand. Heavy structured gowns fight the heat, the wind, and the relaxed spirit of the place.
Light, flowing, and barefoot
The tropical heat and the laid-back vibe reward lightweight, flowing, unstructured fabric that moves in the strong Pacific breeze, perfect for a barefoot ceremony on the sand. Heavy structured gowns fight the heat, the wind, and the relaxed spirit of the place.
Colour against the sunset
Against the golden sand, the dramatic surf, and the fiery sunset, ivory and warm natural tones read cleanly, and flowing fabric catches the sunset light and the wind beautifully. This is a coast where relaxed, elegant, and light beats formal and heavy.
Test the outfit for the heat and the beach first, and let me plan the session around the sunset and the tides. Because I film as well as shoot, fabric that moves in the Pacific breeze earns its place twice. Twelve years and 240+ couples in, the couples who dressed for the bohemian coast looked effortless on it.
