Rhiannon & Preston’s Villa del Oso Wedding Dream

Let’s talk about this beautiful Villa del Oso wedding in the magical beach town of Sayulita. Rhiannon and Preston’s day was a perfect mix of emotional moments, laid-back vibes, and epic beachfront partying, basically everything a destination wedding should be!

It all took place at Villa del Oso, a stunning private beachfront estate in Sayulita. This luxury villa is ideal for a wedding: it has lush tropical gardens, a direct view of the ocean, and even space to host some of your guests onsite. If you’re dreaming of getting married in Sayulita, a Villa del Oso wedding might be the perfect blend of intimacy and luxury.

Getting Ready: Sweet Surprises & Sentimental Tears

Rhiannon got ready in the villa’s principal suite with her bridesmaids, all looking gorgeous in matching pajamas. The atmosphere was full of laughter and anticipation.

Preston surprised her with a heartfelt letter, and as she read his words, the tears flowed, a truly sweet moment. But Rhiannon had a surprise of her own: she created a photo book full of memories from their relationship. Her bridesmaids delivered it to Preston while he was getting ready just outside her room. He couldn’t hold back tears as he flipped through the pages, while Rhiannon peeked from the window to see his reaction. Cue the tissues, it was such a raw, beautiful start to their wedding day.

A Ceremony Overlooking the Ocean

The couple chose not to do a first look, saving that special moment for the altar. The ceremony took place in Villa del Oso’s garden, with sweeping views of the beach and ocean.

It was a hot June day, classic Sayulita weather, but the vibes were amazing. Everyone was there, fully present and beaming with love. One of the most touching moments was when all the bridesmaids and groomsmen came forward during the ceremony, joined hands, and wrapped colorful fabrics around the couple’s hands. It was a symbol of unity, and though simple, it was incredibly meaningful.

Sunset First Dance & a Private Beach Moment

After the ceremony, the cocktail hour kicked off and you could feel how excited everyone was to celebrate the newlyweds.

Rhiannon and Preston had their first dance at sunset, surrounded by their guests under a glowing sky. It was one of those moments that feels like a movie, pure magic.

Right after, we snuck away to the beach for some golden hour portraits. The beach was completely empty, giving them a private, peaceful space to soak in the moment. These are always my favorite shots, intimate, natural, and full of joy.

A Night to Remember: Dinner, Speeches & Poolside Vibes

Guests returned to their seats for dinner, where heartfelt speeches were shared, the kind that makes you laugh and cry all in one go.

Then, it was party time. And let me tell you, this crew understood the assignment. The dance floor was packed from the first song. Since the day had been so hot, a few guests ditched their shirts, others changed into bathing suits, and no one let the heat stop them. The energy was electric, wild, and totally unforgettable. This Villa del Oso wedding ended with a bang and a whole lot of dancing.
