Who really gets an opportunity to shoot a wedding in Peru anyways? Long story short, I was out in NYC and had a chance to meet up with Christina and Jhon at a cupcake shop to hear about their vision for their wedding day. Jhon's family is from the Dominican Republic and Christina's from Lima, Peru where the ceremony and reception would be hosted by her family. What a colorful vision the family drew up; singing, cultural dancing and food that just kept coming! The entire wedding was done in Spanish and start to finish was a day filled with spice, passion and mucho amor! I think her brother warned me that I was stepping into "My Big Fat Greek Wedding on crack." He wasn't too far off as I laughed hard all weekend. During our stay we tacked on some time to travel to rural parts of Peru along the Amazon and the Andes Mountains, including the ceremonial ground of Machu Pichu. Christina and Jhon, thank you for adopting me into your family and sharing your love with me. May this art be a reminder of your love.
