puebla, Mexico

a Beautiful Wedding In Puebla Mexico. It Was At This Wedding Where Our Own Love Story Began. We Met That Morning As We Were Photographing And Filming The Couple. Our Communication Was Limited Because We Didn't Speak Each Other's Language But We Were Drawn To One Another Regardless. We Got Married Four Months Later And Now We’re Pursuing Our Dream Together!

feeling That Tiki Hut Vibe...mindy & Paul At The Beach At Atlantic Bay Resort.

when We Heard The Officiant Was Her Mom, And The Bridesmaids Were Their Teenage Daughters And The Groomsman Was Their Son. Our Eyebrows Slowly Crept Up To Our Hair Line! And Then They All Came Into Sharp Focus, On The Day. Once We Met The World Fell Into Place. Initially Their Eyebrows Went Up To Their Hair Line. I'm Not What Most People Expect! But Wielding That Many Cameras All At Once Gives You Muscles And You Have To Stay Fast On Your Feet To Keep Track Of The Bride And The Groom. To Capture The Story Of The Day. It Is A Little Bit Like Athletics And Technology Combined.

also, I Had A Thing With The Groomsman In His African Wedding Suit. That Is One Adorable Human, He Performed Great Feats Of Jumping...and Stayed Tidy The Entire Time, His Grandmother, Their Officiant, Was The Gentle But Firm Guiding Hand. I Loved The Family And Their Dynamic. These People Are So Good To Be Around. Thanks For Being So Good. When You Have A Basketball Champ And A Gold Medalist In Jiu Jitsu You Kind Of Get The Impression They Are A Go-get-em 'no Bull' Type Of Tribe.

being One Of These Types Of People, With This Type Of Out There Family, Myself I Appreciate That.

strong Humans. Fearless. Independent With Minds Of Their Own. Bravo!

hence This Beautifully Meaningful, Budgeted Well Put Together Elopement, Designed, Choreogroaphed And Produced By Mindy, With A Little Help From Me And Grandma. And A Lot Of Patience From Paul...a Lot, And The Girls, Who Participated More Than I Hoped For, Dancing, Singing, Basketball & Jiu Jitsu...i Love Your Skills, Got To See Them All, Eventually.
