I'm visualizing you clinging to the top of the fence to get that wedding shoot shot. You look funny up there Chris!

Great set. Love the BW psuedo-sepia tones,...fits the stonework very nicely indeed.

There's an area of Guadalajara in Mexico called Tlaquepaque also. It is said to be the birthplace of the Mariachi style of music.

Thanks Brian - I was perched on some stairs, and kept getting in the way of Japanese tourists!

I tried to talk to the wedding photog, but he wasn't very chatty for some reason.

I think the Mexican Tlaquepaque inspired this one - which is mostly shops and restaurants, and the chapel of course.

The Guadalajara Tlaquepaque is all shops and restaurants and cantinas, too. I've hoisted a few beers and tequilas there over the years, having visited that city for business on numerous occasions.

The photographs have a really excellent tone to them Chris, it seems to bring out the grittiness of the stone. I think the wedding shot would make a nice alternative wedding photograph. Maybe you should have tried to sell it to the couple!

I love that first shot...
I think I would have cropped most of the bottom of that wedding shot...my eye kjeeps getting drawn to him rather than the rest of the picture...

Great photos though...
