It’s rare to come across a couple so well-matched that their connection feels effortless, but Ivana and Justin are just that. Their dads played college basketball together, their families went to the same church, and they’re both engineers. Ivana and Justin’s big day at Dreams Bahia Mita in Puerto Vallarta was a beautiful celebration of their connection from the first light of dawn to the final twirl on the dance floor. The team at Dreams Bahia Mita made every step of the way as easy as possible, while Maura Jane Photography captured every moment.
