A wonderful couple, beautiful hacienda location, and gorgeous moon…what could be better for a wedding photographer? And just to keep things excitng how about a sudden rain shower during the ceremony? If I ever had doubts about whether I would risk my camera equipment to get the shot I now know the answer…it never even occured to me to run for cover when the rain started to fall during the ceremony, not while I was getting such great shots! In addition to the lovely open air ambience Guille’s event coordinators Maria del Mar Montalvo and Maria del Mar Abraham of Baku made sure that there were little details and surprises everywhere, all very evocative of Yucatecan tradition. Unforgettable!

When Aydee contacted me about her wedding to Justin at the Hacienda San Jose Cholul I had the date previously reserved. I was disappointed, because the Hacienda San Jose is one of my absolute favorite places and I could tell immediately that Aydee would be a great bride to work with. I was thrilled when they asked me to shoot their portrait session the day before the wedding. It has been my experience that doing wedding portraits on a day other than the wedding is just a wonderful way to get relaxed, outstanding images, since there is no rush or nervousness like on the big day. It is a bit of an effort to plan the photo session but so much fun and I think the photographs are very much worth it. Aydee and Justin…congratulations, it was wonderful to work with you both. ¡Muchas felicidades!

There is nothing better for a wedding photojournalist than being able to use unposed images to tell the story of the real moments that make up the day. Diana and Alberto were a wonderful couple to work with, because of their gift of being completely open to the moment, as well as very much in love. It was a joy for me as a photographer to be able to capture some of their magic.

No hay nada mejor para una fotoperiodista de bodas que poder contar la verdadera historia del día atravez de sus momentos reales y espontaneos. Fue maravilloso trabajar con Diana y Mario porque ambos posean el don de gozar completamente cada momento y porque están muy enamorados. Fue una alegría para mi como fotógrafa poder captar algo de su mágia. Diana y Alberto, les felicito de todo corazón y les deseo lo mejor.

Dianna and Mario make up one of the nicest couples I have met! Their wedding was a very relaxed and easy going celebration, it was fun to witness the two of them enjoying each other and their families and friends. It was also great to see such a totally international crowd mingling and enjoying each other so much. The wedding was held in Mérida’s beautiful and historic Itzimná church and the reception at the modern fiesta Americana Hotel on the Paseo de Montejo. Congratulations to both of you!

La boda de Javier y Jimena se festejó en la Hacienda San Diego Tixcacal, esa hacienda se prestó mucho para que la boda tuviera un ambiente fuera de lo acostubrado. La misa se celebró en la puerta de la capilla antigua de la hacienda, que ahora funciona como iglesia del pequeño pueblo que rodea la hacienda. Fue una noche inolvidable con una pareja muy divertida…¡felicidades a los dos!

Jimena….ya me dijeron tus amigas que quieren ver fotos del grupo…

Lucy and Rodrigo´s wedding reception was held at the Quinta Montes Molina, one of the beautiful old mansions that line Mérida’s Paseo de Montejo. The antique mansion was decorated with a very modern ambience for the fiesta, the contrast was great! I have been very fortunate to photograph the most wonderful couples and Lucy and Rodrigo are one of my very favorites. I wish them all the best!

La fiesta de boda de Lucy y Rodrigo se celebró en la Quinta Montes Molina, una de las bellas mansiones del Paseo de Montejo, y se contrastaba de forma muy espectacular lo antiguo de la quinta con una ambientación muy moderna. He tenido la buena fortuna de fotografiar parejas maravillosas y Lucy y Rodrigo son de mis favoritos. Felicidades, les deseo lo mejor!
