Fernanda + Juan Carlos: Wedding Day
The wedding day of Fernanda and Juan Carlos, who come from the north and had chosen Oaxaca for its vibrance and charm, could not have fulfilled their expectations more. Below you will see testimony to the richness of color, the liveliness of event, the fullness of emotion as both families and lots of good friends celebrated the day with them. The light and color of each location we chose for our sessions also seemed to be just waiting on them to complete the scene, it was a treat for me as photographer to capture these moments.
La boda de Fernanda y Juan Carlos, quienes vienen del norte y escogieron a Oaxaca por sus muy conocidos encantos, no pudiera haber cumplido sus expectativas mejor. Las fotos que siguen son un testimonio de la riqueza de color, la vida del momento, la emoción de las dos familias y muy buenos amigos que celebraron el día con ellos. La luz y los colores de cada lugar que escogimos para las sesiones también parecían estar solo esperándolos. Estoy agradecido que me tocó captar estos momentos de su día.
Despite the pressures of the big day, they made it seem like a walk in the park.
Stress? What stress?
At one stop along the way, it appears the couple slipped into a time warp. Oaxaca, circa 1834.
These earrings are a family heirloom, having been passed on through the generations.
These shoes were foreshadowing another shoe-surprise later on.
Fer’s shoulder, draped with beaded lasso, fresh orchid in her hair, and, in the distance, the special presence of the Virgin del Rosario, which was in Santo Domingo Church only for a few weeks.

This was a family celebration, with many kids enjoying in the festivities. Here they came back after putting on their pajamas for one last look at the throbbing party below before heading off to bed.
Late in the reception, Fer unveiled these shockers–high-heeled canvas sneakers.
