Wedding: Zamora & Winfred – Gold Star Park – Wetumpka, Alabama

When Zamora first contacted me about shooting her wedding, I had to give her some bad news: I was already booked for the Saturday in March she was interested in.  But a couple of months later, I heard from her again.  She and Junior (aka Winfred) had decided there was no reason to wait until March, and moved their wedding up to November.  It just happened to be a day when I was available, so when the big day came, I headed to the house they had just finished building to capture the bride (with the most perfectly fierce eyebrows ever) getting ready to put on her Forever Yours gown.

Since they planned their wedding within a short time frame, I didn’t get to meet Junior until shortly before the ceremony at Gold Star Park.  It’s hard not to like him when you see how animated he is:

It was getting colder by the minute as the sun was going down, but Zamora wasn’t about to commit a crime of bridal fashion and throw on just any old coat.  She came prepared with plush winter white fur:

If you know me, then you know I love brides who do things their own way. Rather than having a formal reception, this duo invited everyone to meet them at Olive Garden. It was like a big family dinner, with a half-and-half bride and groom’s cake from A Social Event Caterers for dessert.

Zamora & Junior: thanks so much for letting me eat breadsticks with you – maybe next time Burrito can come too! 🙂
