Like Water For Chocolate (Como Agua Para Chocolate) is a highly acclaimed Mexican film that was made in 1992 and is based on a book of the same name by Laura Esquivel. At its core, it is a love story [1] between Pedro and Tita that fits under the magical-realism genre. This styled wedding pays homage to Mexican culture and is filled with beautiful details from the book and movie. For instance, the rose petals and quote at the Sweetheart Table, the mortar and pestle, and the matches.
Though this shoot was captured by photographer Jennifer DeFilippis [2], it is an amalgamation of the efforts of numerous vendors and small businesses. The shoot took place at Covington Farm in Dade City, FL, which provided Jennifer with a scenic and rustic backdrop that is similar to the film's setting. "With acres and acres sitting right on the water, this venue has almost too much to offer for the perfect wedding day!" Jennifer said.
Mad Oddities [3] planned the spectacular event, and they went all out. Every tiny detail was well thought through, such as the cute, colourful cake [4] that perfectly matched the bride's dress. Additionally, all the centrepieces were food because Tita conveys her emotion through her cooking. The shoot also included multiple models in different looks, cute animals, and a live mariachi band! Overall, the wedding is an ode to the cinematic classic and filled with hidden gems. Keep reading to see these spectacular photos.
