Fernanda + Juan Carlos: Wedding Day
Fernanda and Juan Carlos are from the north of Mexico, and they chose Oaxaca for their wedding. Both families and a lot of good friends were there to celebrate with them. Every place we stopped for photos had good light and color, and I enjoyed photographing their day.

They were relaxed all day.
At one stop it looked like we’d gone back to Oaxaca, circa 1834.
The earrings are a family heirloom.
There was another pair of shoes later on.
The beaded lazo on Fer’s shoulder and an orchid in her hair. In the distance is the Virgen del Rosario, which was in Santo Domingo Church for only a few weeks.
The calenda leaving the church at dusk, with the mountains turning blue behind it.
Cocktail hour at the Camino Real (now the Quinta Real).
The father of the bride’s toast.
There were a lot of kids at the wedding. These ones came back in their pajamas for one last look at the party below before bed.
Late in the reception, Fer changed into high-heeled canvas sneakers.
