Dennis Berti, a Mexico documentary photographer, masterfully captured the essence of Jorge and Lucilla’s vineyard wedding at Bruma in Ensenada, Baja California. This stunning location, nestled within the Valle de Guadalupe wine route, provided an enchanting backdrop for a celebration overflowing with artistry.
The couple's rapport with Dennis was evident, as they granted him creative freedom to document their day. This understanding is reflected in the breathtaking images that reveal Dennis’ exceptional skill in visual storytelling.
