THEY, ALSO, ARE by THE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
About photographs at a wedding in the Basilica of Mafra and the importance of those who are there
Telling my stories
Wedding photographers are all the time being challenged to find what is important of what is important on the wedding day. To tell my stories, from the weddings, I always inspired myself in the movies and, maybe, in the comics.
Even if I consider myself a photographer with a strong move to the portrait and, with that, a tendency to the close-up as if it was in a movie, I know that a story must have a big wide to show where it was.
Some kind of fire to be as photos.
Here, as in another kind of photography, it is in a place we do what we do. If I have a cathedral is the cathedral I take it with me. Same thing as what is inside it. I only take with me, in the form of photos, the people that were there, not only as props but as subjects with some kind of fire that makes them able to be as photos.
The same thing with the couple, a small dot in the splendor of the space they chose to be to the yes, at the proper moment. But when the wedding photographer chooses them, growing inside their lens, transforming them into cathedrals full of inner fire, nourished by the love that led them there, under the testimony of others who are with them.
It is why it is easy, it does not take any hard work. The wedding photographer only needs to be there and take advantage. You can not imagine how good it feels…
