THANK YOU by THE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER IN LISBON
With photos of the cake cutting and other milestones in the wedding party at Quinta de Nossa Senhora da Serra in Sintra
Thank you in the form of a slice of wedding cake
These are moments that wedding photographers have heard about a lot. Thank you very much, to all of you. Gestures and words are often repeated in all the weddings that I, as a wedding photographer, have already seen and photographed and, for sure, all my colleagues. It is one of the most engaging moments of the day.
After most of the party is gone, it is the moment to offer a slice of cake to every one of the guests at the wedding. It is a very special cake and much more than a cake. Some say it is the cake of the bride, but it is the cake of everyone. Every slice of that cake is a sample of the couple’s love for all who went there, and thus, it becomes everyone’s.
But there are other offers. Some in the form of thanks for coming kisses. Others in the form of a symbolic object that will remember, those who received, that was noticed his presence and it is a remembrance of that. It is true because it was in the presence of the wedding photographer who swears he saw it. No, because he photographed it and this will be proven with photos, as soon as he can remove them from his cameras and get them ready to deliver.
These moments of affection and the photos
Look, with this, we do not want you to forget us, because, for us, your presence will never be. So, the wedding photographer, some hidden, pursues the bride and the groom, who are no longer, as if he were a spy, and, after, delivers them the proof of their guilt, by affection to everyone whom they invited to the wedding.
Because of that, everything is an excuse to study new points of view that allow me to photograph those moments of affection, from the wedding couple to the guests. It is also a sign that the party is coming to an end, and some moments ahead, I will rest my cameras and lenses, snuggle them in their sleeping bag, and go home, satisfied.
