ESTEFANI & JOHN'S MEXICAN-SCOTTISH FAIRYTALE WEDDING at RUSSO'S on the BAY, BROOKLYN
This enchanting Brooklyn wedding brought together Mexican-traditions and Scottish heritage in a heartfelt celebration of love and family. The bride, deeply connected to her Mexican roots, sought a photographer who could engage with her Spanish-speaking family - especially her grandmother. we first met at a wedding expo, where she was drawn to my bilingual ability and cultural understanding, making it clear that she needed someone who could truly capture the essence of her traditions.
A highlight of the day was the mariachi band that led the bride and her family through the streets of Brooklyn, a joyous nod to her Mexican heritage. To ensure comprehensive coverage, I coordinated with my videographer to follow the bride while arranging for a second shooter to document the groom getting ready nearby. This decision allowed for seamless storytelling from both perspectives.
