Three stages of the bride in photography

TIME IN PHOTOGRAPHY, by THE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER IN PORTUGAL

Great smile from the bride, after being married, in the orchard of Quinta dos Alfinetes.

The three photographs are of the bride at different moments of her wedding day

Wedding photographer’s work

I already told her that I love portraits in photography. Better, I love portraits. That is why I never let pass an opportunity to cultivate my work as a wedding photographer. However, it is not about my today post but a subject that fascinates me when I trim the photos made on the wedding day. My frenzy does not let me memorize all the photos as I am going to do them.

Not because I do it randomly but because I have the tendency to concentrate on the exact moment that I do, not letting space to memorize everything I have just done. Maybe it is because I am doing what a teacher told me, and my colleagues, some days before an important exam: always come to the exam with an empty mind. By doing that things come up easier.

Three photos, three moments

When I was trimming some photos for today’s post, I remembered that, and, in fact, I am surprised, many times, with photos that I do not remember the moment I took them. Happily, I surprise myself a lot, which is good because this tells me that I did not make them by chance and I can go find more because, I know, much more will come.

It is a simple photographic example of time. Three photos from three different moments in the day of a bride. But this means, at the same time that those photos also belong to three moments from the wedding photographer as somebody who feels, every day, the responsibility to be truthful.
