Erika and Carlos were referred to me by a girl I have known since I was in the 1st grade so I had some good feelings about this couple from the get go! Erika is such a sweetheart and Carlos is a great person. Just being around them makes you just feel good. Erika liked meeting in person to go over details and talk about the wedding which made our working relationship every personal and very comfortable. I met them several times at their home and I was always treated like an old friend!
Showing up the wedding day events was just pure fun. The first stop was Carlos’ parents house where he was getting ready, and the home was full of family, most from Peru. We got some really great shots there and got to hang out with a very cool, collected and EXCITED groom. Next we headed to the GORGEOUS Claremont resort to meet up with Erika and her girls. Being with them was so much fun and everyone was just so nice and a joy to be around. Erika was so excited and just so happy, it was a great time being with her while she was getting ready.
The ceremony and reception was at The Brazilian Room in Tilden park which is an amazing location that not many people know about. It was the perfect venue for this very cultural wedding. All the guests were friendly and always willing to be in a photograph. The ceremony was full of emotion and some laughs. After Carlos and Erika were pronounced Husband and Wife they were scheduled to release butterflies. Well it was a little to cold for the butterflies to fly so they were just posed for pictures.
The reception was again full with great people, great food, and great times! We had such a great time with everyone there and we got a TON of great images to help the family remember this amazing day!
Enjoy the images.
