The biography and the photos it offers
There is usually a time, known by the wedding photographers, in the wedding time that what is going on is dedicated to the wedding couple, although everyone participates with emotion and joy.
There is always a group of friends, or family, that long before this day entertained themselves preparing a game, to the joy of everybody, a storytelling biography of the couple were, most of the time, with surprises unknown by the heroes of the story or some theatrical performance, transforming the party room in a real theater.
Events that end up in photos
So, the wedding photographer will find, in those happenings, a great motif for not being able, also him, to simply enjoy the show and learn something more about the couple that hired him or laughs with whatever might come from the improved stage, with more or less gifted artists.
Here, for my regrets, so many things stay not recovered because of the fastness how the laughs flow, haha I did know that, laughing more with the lack of competence of the actor them the joke itself and more and more opportunities, with equal amounts of points of view that, some, must stay outside the photos.
My wedding photos will tell the story for me
If someone asks me, most of the time, what happened there, what stories were been told, why everybody laughed that much at that moment, or if the dolls were gifted and controlled, simply…I do not have a clue. The wedding photographer has his all attention directed to the reactions instead of the content of the events.
Enjoying the tales does not fit his function. I do not care about knowing how to describe the script of the event because I know for sure that my photos will do it for me. It is for them that I am there, and they, at these moments, are everywhere.
Dot by dot:
- Nowadays, there’s a time on the wedding day when everyone sits down, bride and groom included, and a story will be told, a joke will be made, or a biography with news and mistakes will be offered to me by the photographs I’m tasked with collecting.
- The wedding photographer is the only one who won’t be paying attention to what is being told, but rather pointing his lens at the attention, and reaction, that everyone will show.
- That’s why, if you ask me if I liked it, yes, I liked the photos because I don’t remember anything about the rest. My attention was drawn to the photographs that came from other stories, those that the bride and groom and their guests were paying attention to… the story.
You need to know:
- The story was told at the wedding party at Quinta da Serra in Linhó, Sintra.
- That’s my job: to always pay attention to the attention of others at the wedding. Either to each other or to something that catches their eye. That’s what I’ll be doing at your wedding. Make an appointment to talk. Contact me.
