I met Emilie and Eloy at the Roma neighborhood in Mexico City. We chatted for a while over a good coffee and they told me about their wedding plans in Oaxaca. Almost a year later we were in the city of mezcal to start a 3-day wedding journey that took us to a restaurant, a barbershop, a nail salon and a terrace with views of Santo Domingo. On the day of their wedding we went for a walk around the city a few hours before starting the preparations and we didn't stop until 5 in the morning. An ancestral ceremony out of this world. Calenda and mezcal to accelerate the heart. French and Mexicans shouting their national anthem at the top of their lungs. A party that did not stop for a second.

Wedding madness!

Thanks for being the absolute BEST. It was an honor to be able to document your wedding.

From the first video call with Coco and Jerrod I felt an incredible vibe from them. Always with a big smile and great emotion when telling me about their plans and why they had chosen Oaxaca as the place for their wedding.

We had an amazing three-day journey. From drinks on the rooftop of Boulenc Bed & Bread watching the sunset fall over the city, some delicious dishes in Criollo to set the palate of the guests, and finally, dipping the tongue with a little mezcal on the terrace of Pitiona with views of Santo Domingo.

We started the day of the wedding at the Hotel Azul. A beautiful set for a great first look, some bike rides in the hotel corridors (good times), surprising children in the streets with such good looks, and then getting into the city traffic heading to Casa Dos Lagos.

The setting they chose for their ceremony was simply spectacular. Their vows were beyond words. One of the most beautiful ceremonies I have ever been to.

Calenda. Mezcal. Ice cream. Non stop dance. Simply Oaxaca.

Please take a look at the entrance (it was amazing). Again great speeches worthy of awards. Friends playing a song for their first dance as married couple. A great party (with all that energy that was felt from the very beginning).

The mariachis closed the wedding as in so many others in Mexico.

Coco & Jerrod, what a pleasure to meet you. You are truly incredible beings. I wish you the best that this life can bring you.

Quinta Real Oaxaca Wedding Photographer // Emmy & Quenton

PARTNERS:

Second Shooter / César Pórroga
Video / Gio López
Venue / Quinta Real Oaxaca

Emmy and Quenton brought a bit of New York City’s rhythm to the streets of Oaxaca. The intense afternoon sun pushed everyone into the pool and seemed to cry out for a beer or a cocktail from those who were in the place. Emmy got dressed in her hotel room with her friends and family, while Quenton did all the same but in an apartment a few blocks away. The ceremony took place in the "Jardín de los Lavaderos" one of the most iconic corners of the former convent where the beautiful Hotel Quinta Real de Oaxaca is now located. Right after a great ceremony, a classic calenda oaxaqueña led us to dance in the streets with all its color, music and some good shots of mezcal. They had a great party, and without a doubt, they chose one of the most beautiful places in the country to do it. Who wouldn't enjoy a day in a place like this with the people they love the most?

What beautiful memories. Thank you Emmy and Quenton for letting me be a part of this. I wish you the best in this new adventure.

PS: I have to say that the groom did, without any doubt, one of the best dance moves I've ever seen.
