Confident eyes

Without a doubt, everything done until now will flow to this moment. It is the apex of the angle. It is the first tempo of the play about the life of two persons that point to the yes and the rings sealing that endeavor.

The second tempo starts just after and it is time to celebrate, feast, and deliver to the other, maybe uncertain, part of life together, but the most interesting. That is funny because when a wedding photographer, I always notice the same kind of tension and breathe relief since the second of the two yes, I do, is pronounced. It seems that this act discharged accumulated energy that needs relief noticed in the bright eyes trusting the wished future.

The memory of what happens

It is when I edited the photos, that I did on the wedding day,  I found that what I felt, just as a sensation, was very true. The process of photographing a day of events, that can not be repeated, is very tense for the wedding photographer. All the energy and concentration are pointed in the viewfinder of the camera that, most of the time, his memory of the day comes from that bright rectangle where life happens.

When he comes back to the places, through the photos on the computer, all those feelings come to him giving sense to those photos, to his work. It is like that with a wedding photographer.
