THEY KNOW by THE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER IN PORTUGAL
Some photos of the bride and groom and those who look after them to prepare them for the wedding day
Those who look after the bride and groom
The caretakers. The wedding photographers always find, when the wedding couple is in the phase of transformation, someone who is charged with ensuring that everything is been taken care of and every detail was done. I am not talking about those servants in charge of serving the prince and princess before they are.
Who shapes their hair so that it matches the dress is chosen so carefully, who brought, like a piece of jewelry, a flower bouquet that will be the company of that one that will be the main character all day, the reason why everything happens, because everything is being done and needs to be perfect.
Also, I do not talk about those that are in the place by right, the right of the law, and the right of the affections, and that, here and there, make things easier even if they say no no I am not, I know they are, in a state of anxiety and if those caretakers do not exist, something will be left off and the perfection will be not possible.
Those who oversee what is done
They are the ones who know if everything is being done as needed. Sometimes they seem to like those foremen in public works who seem to do absolutely nothing, they are just there, and when the work is done we ask ourselves what was their role in making it happen.
If the wedding photographer did not with the necessary experience to be there, probably, no one noticed them and they were forever forgotten, by the presence and by the function they had in the all process. They are attentive, they do not miss a detail, and almost without us realizing that they are at the top of what is being done, interfering, through their presence, with the work of the servant in the current function.
Although they are little given to the word and to the indication why it should be another way, they do not give up until everything is given as ready and, from time to time, the wedding photographer, there, detects that disapproving look, I am watching you.
After all, it’s just to make sure everything is done right
I learned to notice them right from the beginning as a wedding photographer. At first, I still questioned the reason for their presence, the look of the works foreman, and, at the same time, their lack of practical intervention in the process. Sometimes it is only one of them, but I find several times where they are a group.
They are noisier, it seems they do not always agree with each other but they do not dare to give any order to the servants in charge of taking care of the princes, although they exchange disapproving looks until, in the end, they end up to verify that this was the way to do it right and they do not shy away from congratulating the performers it is perfect, isn’t it?
Of course. It seems to me that those servants have already gotten used to it, which tells me that they too are aware of it and they are in every marriage, but they do not hurt anyone. They just want to show that they adore the bride and the groom and just want them will leave without blemish. In perfection.
To the wedding photographer, it is very good. He uses them as frames, to complete a composition or to show the importance of a given moment. Also, they can be used in the wedding book when I need to change the subject or the chapter.
Since I saw them for the first time, I realized their potential for all of the story and I never let them outside because of the use I can give them and, most importantly, to show the newlyweds that they only do it because they love them.
That makes them very happy.
