Jennifer + Terry, por One Love Photo

De vez em quando tropeço nestas pequenas pérolas – pode começar por uma palavra ou por uma fotografia, há um detalhe que me prende e quero saber mais. Deixo-me levar, deixo-me envolver e fico a ver estas pessoas e o seu amor partilhado, a felicidade estampada, os instantes para toda a vida… e que bonito que é!

Já alguma vez estiveram um bom bocado nas chegadas do aeroporto, a observar as pessoas, enquanto esperam por alguém? É parecido, é um calor bonito que envolve toda a gente, risos e lágrimas e abraços apertados.

 

O casamento que partilho aqui hoje é um desses, quentinho: o dia começa com os filhos a serem acordados, toda uma antecipação que se desenha, um vestidaço fantástico e as mais bonitas fotos a 4…

Deixo-vos com as imagens sempre belas dos One Love Photo (sigam o link para ver o artigo completo), algumas palavras da noiva e outras do fotógrafo: prestem atenção, porque são preciosas.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Da noiva:

“Even though we had been together for years and have two kids together, we were surprised by how different it felt to actually stand in front of everyone we love and get married. It was incredibly moving and powerful. We knew it was special, but didn’t really grasp the magnitude of it all until afterward. One of the happiest days we’ve had! We didn’t reference any wedding magazines or websites. We wanted our wedding to feel like us and not influenced by other weddings that may look lovely, but not have meaning to us. We planned our wedding like we would plan a party at our house. We used a bakery that we go to all the time with our family. It’s in our neighborhood and is special to us because it’s part of our community and life. I made our centerpieces using ebay finds, old books, cards and toy arrows. We wanted to use our centerpieces to tie in the other elements of our wedding…invite, cake topper, belt buckles for gifts for our guests. I loved creating our centerpieces. They felt like something we’d just have in our home. We do now…and so do some of our friends. They are fun reminders of the day! I loved working with Nisha at Fluerish on the flowers. I had read “The Language of Flowers” by Vanessa Diffenbaugh and was blown away. After losing my mom last year, it was important to me to have moss in my bouquet, which in Victorian times symbolized maternal love. It meant so much to me because of my mom and because I am a mom now also. I also wished for dogwood, which stands for love undiminished by adversity. We chose things we love and included friends as much as possible. It made the whole thing easy to plan and it all came together in a way that was truly special.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do fotógrafo:

“On the day of the wedding I discovered that having kids before a wedding makes for much more love, fun and silliness. Watching their ceremony it was clear that the simple act of sharing and vowing in front of their children, family and friends made their family feel complete. During the toasts I realized that most toasts I hear are focused on advice for a future family. But toasts for newlywed parents are very different because friends get to praise the couple for what they have already accomplished in parenthood. They get to tell them what they are doing right and encourage them to continue the work. All parents should have a party and a round of toasts when their kids hit age four.”

 

Que bela perspectiva, verdade?
