Wedding ceremony on the beach

Down to the south once more. Club Nau in Ferragudo, Algarve, was my destiny. September was here, and the temperature was soft and hot, showing us that the hot beach days were at an end. It was ideal for the ceremony on the beach, without an unmercifully hot sunny day for someone used to cloudy days and rain, and gave us a nice and comfortable ceremony and celebration moments. It was good for the wedding photographer.

Photograph people with people around

Gemma and Tomás, like that if it were a Portuguese name, come from the beautiful green Island, with family and friends, marry and celebrate on this, also, beautiful beach in the south of Portugal.  In good time, they decided that such an amusing group confirmed the idea I had about the Irish people and their ability to have fun, sense of humor, and taste for life. I can not forget their baby who, as a hero, passed the day with fun until the end of the party.

My walks to the south, to photograph weddings, confirm that desire I have to photograph people with people around who just ignore me, and let me taste everything to catch the best moments. Today, it happened again.

Wedding Ceremony Right on the Beach

Heading south once again. Club Nau in Ferragudo, in the Algarve, was the destination. Early September was already warm and beginning to show that the peak beach heat was fading. It was the perfect setting for a wedding ceremony right on the beach, without the sun, often merciless to those used to clouds and rain, turning those celebratory minutes into something uncomfortable. It was ideal for the wedding photographer.

Loving to Photograph People Among People

Gemma and Tomás—yes, just like a Portuguese name—came from beautiful Ireland, with family and friends, to marry and celebrate on this equally beautiful beach in the south of Portugal. They chose the perfect day with a fun group, confirming my impression of the Irish capacity for fun, full of humour and love for life. I can’t forget the baby who stoically and joyfully endured the entire event through to the end of the celebration.

These trips south to photograph weddings always deepen this passion I have for capturing people among people who pay me no attention and allow me to savour every detail. Today, it happened again.
