THE BRIDE AND HER SISTER by THE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER IN CASCAIS
The photo is of the bride being made up, and pampered, by her sister as she begins to prepare for her wedding day.
The little box of wedding photojournalism
Even if I think that my work, as a wedding photographer, is often positive, if I want to be modest, or pretty good, if I want to be vain, some photos deserve my attention in a very personal choice as the photos I like. That is one of them.
As you can see, after all the archives in this blog, my method as a photographer, at events, can be formatted in that box, because we like to put things together in boxes, for wedding photojournalism, which means that we are photographing the performers of the day, like the jazz musicians, improvising as if the wedding day was a music tab.
This photo, for memory
Today I chose this photo. Normal, but well done, if we think that is one more bride at makeup, but special when I tell you that the make-up artist is her sister. That is why all of Maria’s faces shine and the concentration of the sister seems like a painter finishing a portrait for an exhibition in the most important gallery in the world. And it is. Maria will be in the presence of Duarte on such an important day that they elected me to give it a memory. For now, this photo. The rest will come as a story to show how it was.
