The moment when everything starts, at the wedding

Without a doubt, the bride is the queen of the day. We can compare this to nothing her entry in the ceremony place, in a secular Church, or a modern venue designed for the purpose in front of a state representative. It is the moment when everything starts. The moment the bride shows in the door of the sanctuary or puts her first foot on the carpet that takes her near the groom, impatiently waiting, everybody knows that, now, it is real, the big event started.

Despite all the rituals that the ceremony is imbued with, from the priest’s homily or the advisement of the inspired officiant, everything points to the moment that matters. Swearing by the yes said with conviction, but sometimes shaken, until the rings that connect, all those are magnetic moments for the wedding photographer.

Something unique inside memory cards, from de wedding

Even after all those that this wedding photographer already captured, I must say, and I have the proof, that never felt myself repeating something, that frequently, I am present, again. I never found repeated looking eyes, the introspection, the looking around finding if some are not present, those unrepeatable eyes on the eyes that my cameras love so much, and the out-of-context joke from that friend that feels like a…comedian.

The wedding photographer reacts to everything and he knows that he has something unique inside his memory cards.
