PAYING ATTENTION by THE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER IN FÁTIMA
A photo at the moment of the exchange of rings, at the wedding ceremony at Quinta D. Nuno in Fátima
Photos, a record of the event
It is the duty of the wedding photographer to deliver photos that must be the truth of the event and, at the same time, transform them into an aesthetic object that excels and gives the photo something more than just a record of the event.
This is about this photo that I like very much. However, it was a result of a very fast moment and in peculiar conditions. I was smashed to the background wall with no get-back possibility. So, I felt the need to photograph but the lens I had in the camera was a bit narrow, and with no time to change it, moments will change without notice.
The wedding photographer in the one-day life of a couple
So, I can not explain how, but the wall decided to be my friend and, it seems, become elastic, and the lens, it seems, opened a little bit the angle and the ring moment of the bride and groom, which are also parents, with the daughter asking herself what was happening here, found a place in the sensor of my camera, with receiving hands and, at the same time, protector’s hands.
Photos like this, show me the importance of being the wedding photographer in the one-day life of a couple and the surrounding loving ones. One of these days I will show some more.
