A few weeks ago, he sent me an email with the wonderful news that a date had been set for his sister's wedding in Mexico; so, since it had been almost a year and a half since I had last visited, I decided to spend my weekend with his family. I had shot a Mexican wedding before, but it took place in America; so this time I was wondering what would be different about a real Mexican wedding.

It ends up that Latonya is from Germany which only sparked my interest in her and so I just had to have her back in the studio to shoot some headshots.
