Pomp and circumstance at the wedding ceremony
The epic movies, about the old days, always show us a parade where kings with their queens cross aisles flanked by people who applaud them, for whatever reason. The passage of the main characters attract, always, the satisfaction of those who wait and have a strong reason to be there.
I feel that when I photograph the bride on the aisle at every wedding. It is pomp and circumstance. It is a ceremony that will take place, with the expectation that all ceremonies behave, and the coming bride is the guarantee that will take place. That is why, when she appears at the door, the joy in everyone’s faces that, in advance, is already the desire of everything the best to the couple that, in some moments, will say yes to each other.
Photographer’s first great moment of duty done
That is why, the entrance of the bride, for the wedding photographers, is a moment of expectation and worry about the guarantee of catching all that emotion inside. It is the first great moment of duty accomplished when the bride arrives at the altar near his groom who waits for her with impatience. That is how I feel it.
