La Catrina: Where Tradition Meets Modern Love
A celebration of life, love, and Mexican heritage at Veya Banyan Tree
La Catrina isn’t just a symbol; she’s a bridge between past and present, a celebration of life through the lens of Mexican culture. When Fer and Mario chose to incorporate this powerful tradition into their wedding at Veya Banyan Tree, they created something truly extraordinary.
The Spirit of La Catrina: A Cultural Legacy
Born from the artistic vision of José Guadalupe Posada in the early 1900s, La Catrina has evolved from a satirical sketch into a beloved symbol of Mexican cultural identity. Today, she represents the beautiful duality of life and death, a reminder to celebrate every moment with joy and reverence.
A Modern Love Story at Veya Banyan Tree
When Fer and Mario approached me about incorporating La Catrina into their wedding photography, I knew we were about to create something magical. The stunning backdrop of Veya Banyan Tree in Valle de Guadalupe provided the perfect canvas for their vision.
The Artistry Behind the Celebration
The transformation of Fer and Mario into their Catrina personas was nothing short of extraordinary. Camerino Pro Novia brought their artistic vision to life, creating intricate designs that honored traditional Catrina elements while incorporating modern touches that reflected the couple’s personality.
