REAL WEDDINGS: CARLINA AND ALEJANDRO

CREDITS


Photography: Unusually Fine Photography
Venue and Catering by Toro, Boston MA
Dress: BCBG Max Azria
Carlina's shoes by Joan and David
Earrings by NYX
Carlina's ring by E Scott Originals





Carlina and Alejandro had a stylish, funky little ceremony under a giant (fake) bull's head at Toro in Boston's South End. After the ceremony, Margaret and Max of Unusually Fine Photography abducted the pair for a quick shoot in a small park nearby. Carlina couldn't be any cuter: that dress from BCBG is ridiculously adorable. And check out the confetti. Oh, and the food. Alejandro is, after all, a pastry chef in Singapore. . . .
