Gabby and Yosio in Zamora, Mexico

This was my third wedding in Mexico in 2007... and it was still a totally new and exciting time for me. As any who know me understand , new and different is what makes me sing! (not literally, no one wants that!)

The town of Zamora itself is very cool, a lot of history and many friendly people- they kept asking us (myself and my good friend Mario) where we were from... like we stood out like a sore thumb!!

There were many things that made Gabby and Yosio's wedding day special to me.

First was the amazing church (see below). It was a mini version of a huge cathedral that is still under construction: Cathedral of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Also, Gabby and the girls got ready at a house her father is building across the street from Abuelita's (Grandma's) that hadn't been painted so the walls were a great neutral grey. Another cool thing was that the church was right downtown amongst the historic old buildings and hustle and bustle so there were unlimited photo ops!

I just realized that of the few shots here, about half show Gabby's awesome vail! so cool!

Getting ready. See what I mean about the walls... and the vail?
Such cool light going on, this was a stairway that lead to the roof.

Out front again, I loved the texture of the old doors and the brick.

The band's tourbus! So RAD!

First Dance- the DJ had quite a setup!!
The reception was crazy. Mexicans are very hospitable: when you meet, they shake your hand... then offer a shot of tequila!!!
