Park Chateau Wedding: Fernando & Myra

Filed in: Weddings

Last week officially started Jess’ TWELTH year as a wedding photographer! Oh my how time flies! We flew into NYC between two storms, and the day before the wedding we had to drive through winter storm Quinn. It was the scariest drive of our life because our windshield wipers locked up while on the turnpike in a blizzard! But we got through it together, as James continued driving, Jess reached out and manually operated the wipers. It was a great test in our communication, and we passed, and then once we arrived at the hotel we had a few well deserved Gin & Tonics and settled in for the night.

After the crazy blizzard, the next morning we woke up to a white winter wonderland and sunshine!! It was cold but it was beautiful! Myra had been praying for the weather on her wedding day for years, and God definitely heard her prayers! From the second we arrived at The Park Chateau we were in awe! And we knew this was the absolute best way to start our 12th season of weddings!

We first met Fernando and Myra in Arizona at Showit United. We got to do their engagement session in the desert, because Myra is a photographer and she was already planning on coming to Showit United conference in Arizona where we were speaking. For their engagement session we woke up before the sun rose, and hiked a small mountain to have a beautiful view of the city and sunrise! But what really stole the show was her gorgeous red dress! She looked like she walked straight off the red carpet! And we knew if they looked this good for the engagement session they would be incredible on the wedding day!

Fernando and Myra’s wedding was exquisite in every way! You see, because Myra is a photographer, and has experienced so many other weddings, she took every detail into account as she was planning, and it turned out to be one of the most beautiful and thoughtful wedding’s we’ve ever photographed! When Jess walked in the room all of Myra’s details were perfectly organized and laid out, and the dress was already hung up! Such a dream! And we love their venue! Remember the wedding we did in September at The Park Savoy, where the ballroom looked like it was straight out of Beauty & the Beast? Well these two got married at the sister property The Park Cheatu, and it is like a photographer’s dream! Gorgeous ballroom, amazing architecture, and a marble staircase! And to top it all off, their reception was in a gorgeous ballroom, and as they danced their first dance it looked like they were floating on a cloud! Their wedding day was filled with the prettiest details and moments of incredible joy! We love their connection! Fernando is strong and handsome, and loves her unconditionally and serves their family so well. Myra is classy, bubbly and creative. And make sure you have Kleenex nearby, because their first look reactions will make you cry! We are so thankful we got to photograph the wedding and celebration of incredible couple, and can’t wait for you to see our favorites from the day!
