We started the day with Yesenia and her bridesmaids at The Padre for prep. Yesenia’s make up was already finished when we arrived and she was glowing like a princess. The makeup artist Ruben was nice enough to touch her up for some glamorous photos. Yesenia’s mom is super sweet. Yesenia mom is GORGEOUS. I see where Yesenia gets her good looks from. Yesenia is one of the calmest brides we have ever had. She is really easy going and stress-free. It does help to plan your wedding at least a year in advance.

Yesenia had two gorgeous dresses for her ceremony and reception. They were huge and glamorous. I was in Wow when I saw them. Overly excited to shoot both. Marco was getting ready with his groomsmen, and they were also very chill. The day was really smooth because everything stayed on time. YAYYY!

The Mariachi they chose for their ceremony and reception were awesome and energetic.The violins were a nice touch. The ceremony was gorgeous. Everyone was feeling the emotions. After the ceremony, we headed straight to Park Place in Shafter. I was super excited as I haven’t shot out there in a while.

The decor was very unique and beautiful. Carlos and his team with Make It Happen Events did an amazing job. The fall vibe was a gorgeous background for their bridal portraits. Yesenia and Marco complimented each other very well. They share a special love with each other. It was a blessing to witness the two of them become one. Marco even got to join in with his uncle singing a duet. It was amazing to say the least. These two and their family really know how to have a good time with Banda music. The sounds are felt in your heart, body, mind, and soul. They also had a cool DJ to play the latest hits mixed with dancing music. If you can’t tell by now they both are very good dancers and they love it. The toast was very heartfelt and emotional for everyone. They did a traditional Hispanic snake dance it’s like a conga line mixed with the limbo. The bride and groom stand on chairs and hold up the bride’s veil, while everyone runs through. It was an amazing day filled with energy love and family. We love you guys and wish you the absolute best life has to offer. #MLWEDDING #LOVEMYBRIDES #WEAREBLESSED
