Cristela & Fabian’s wedding was full of emotion. We had some time before the ceremony to make a first look for the bride and groom at Villa de Palmas, at San Juan, Texas. And it was so much fun to do! Fabian was kind of nervous waiting the moment to turn around and see Cristela with her beautiful and elegant wedding dress. They both were smiling and they sealed the moment with a warm hug… the big day was finally here.

After the photo session, we headed D’Gala Special Events in McAllen, Texas for a small ceremony with family, friends, and the bridal party. All flowers were absolutely elegant in white and ivory tones. D’Gala was also the place where the reception took place. One of my favorite moments of all night is the first song as a husband and wife, and the special dance with the parents because in these particular moments, you can feel all the love around. I’m taking photographs and I am constantly smiling because the moments are so real, the tears are wonderful evidence that there is a lot of emotions going on in that particular song, in that particular moment. When a mother dances that special song with her son, when she realizes that he is no longer a baby, he is a grown men and now he is the head of a new family.

Cristela & Fabian, you truly are a wonderful (and pretty good looking) couple :). I had a lof of fun during your engagement session, and also during your wedding day. Thank you so much for choosing Lilak Photography to keep your memories!
