Brooke and Viviano come from large traditional Catholic families. Brooke is Italian, and Viviano is Mexican. Family and faith were enmeshed throughout their celebration. While Brooke was finishing her preparations, her father waited in the hallway outside her hotel room. With a smile and excitement, he asked what he should do when he saw her. I put my hand on his shoulder and told him this moment was for them. Just be with your daughter, and I'll photograph what happens.

Moments of love and excitement for Brooke and Viv were abundant. Driving to the church in an old Rolls-Royce, the conversation between Brooke and her Dad had me tearing up, and it wouldn't be the only time I did that day. During their ceremony, tradition and the divine felt honest and sincere. Their speeches at the reception were equal parts humorous and adoring. It was a long, charming, and remarkable celebration, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to collect these memories. I'm so happy for you two. Congratulations, Brooke and Viv!
