The Bride’s Hairstyle and the Wind

They say a wet wedding is a blessed wedding. Well, in Sofia and Bruno’s case, it was a “windy” wedding, and the result should be the same. Indeed, I can’t recall such a windy day for quite some time, and my main concern was getting to the bride’s house to see if her hair was up, because on a day like that, no photo would be salvageable once she stepped out towards the church just nearby.

I was relieved when I arrived, and things started as usual, with Sofia transforming into a beautiful bride, accompanied by my ever-curious cameras. And how stunning she looked.

Groom at the Church, for the Wedding Ceremony

At the end of the street stood the church where a nervous, proud, and impatient groom, Bruno, awaited his beloved under the witness of the officiating priest. As soon as the bride appeared at the church door, backlit in high contrast, the ceremony commenced until the long-awaited “I do.”

This wedding photographer is always eager for photos that, contrary to what one might think, are not made by him or his cameras, but are scattered around the church or elsewhere, and what he can do is identify them and capture them on the sensor at the right moment and in the right measure. At least, that’s what I strive for.

Wedding Photographers’ Lenses as Witnesses

My lenses bore witness that Sofia and Bruno’s wedding day went as it should—happy, joyful, and with the certainty that it cemented the love between the two. Despite the strong wind, everything that needed to be done was accomplished, and inside, to the sound of music, the final part of the day was fulfilled appropriately.

I often repeat myself, but reaching the end of a workday as the wedding photographer and being able to tell a story that shows, to those who weren’t there, the day that connects the past of two people to a future filled with overcoming challenges is a privilege that makes me proud. I do everything to be deserving of it, and for that, I thank Sofia and Bruno for their trust. The future is yours.

The role of the wedding photographer goes beyond simply taking pictures; it’s about telling a story through images, capturing the essence of the wedding day.
