What Mauricio plans for at Farmstead
The Carriage Room
Barn beams and rustic detail give the reception room character. He shoots the room before guests arrive, while it is still untouched.
An outdoor ceremony
Golf courses are open, so there is little shade. He helps you pick a ceremony time that keeps the sun out of your eyes and off your faces.
The course in late light
Open fairways make wide, quiet portraits at the end of the day. He plans them for cocktail hour, close to sunset.
A weather plan
If it rains, portraits move under cover or indoors. He scouts those spots ahead of time so nothing is improvised on the day.
