The wedding day is a kind of marathon
Those who used to read some posts on the blog of the wedding photographer may believe that the wedding day is some sort of marathon, which it is, and, here and there, with one hundred-meter races in an Olympic final, which, also, is. But we have intervals, better, some moments of waiting while the things to the wedding begin with some, while the others wait for their turn.
That is why, after the big race between the groom already ready, and a bride who I thought was already in an advanced state of readiness, I touched the bell and found her relaxed Fernando we still had not started yet, and I was waiting for that my mother finish the hairdressing and, only after, it’s my turn.
Moment, bride, make-up and photography
Do not even think the wedding photographer will be in a quiet mood with nothing to do. No way. There is always something to photograph and a waiting bride is a great subject. Now, waits for the bride for the hairdressing and, after, the bride’s mother for the make-up with the aunt.
So, the wedding photographer does not rest searching for the best point of view and finds, back there, the mother in observation mode and gets quiet under a lamp, looking through his camera until he finds the right moment to the face of the bride, in the makeup process. It is like that.
Some will rest, here and there, but the wedding photographer never thinks about that…not even a moment.
