THE BELONGING EXPERIENCE by THE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER IN LISBON
The photos are from the wedding ceremony at the Church of Nossa Senhora da Piedade, Almada
The location of the wedding ceremony
Most of the time, finding the wedding ceremony place, when religious, is about comfort because it is near the wedding venue. Other times it is because the bride and groom like the temple for affective reasons, aesthetics,s or because of the importance of the place. We could find more reasons but it is no need.
The church chosen by Sónia and Diogo was about belonging. This church was in the borough where Sónia lived as a child and she was baptized here. However, it was not enough reason to write a text.
A pleasant experience from the wedding photographer
What made this wedding photographer curious, was that the repair work in the church was interrupted, the church was wholly cleaned and everything was put in place in order to receive them to the wedding ceremony. We can see the white stain without the decorative paint, one big window where the statue of the patroness should be, and, as a sign of truthfulness, a scaffold can be seen in several photos from the ceremony. When we belong and deserve it, it happens.
I still remember the pride of Sónia explaining to me the reason why the church was like that. Once more, a pleasant experience for the wedding photographer.
