Married at the registry in the morning. Celebrated with everyone they love that same evening. Two scenes of one day.

— ensaio n°05 ✦

One day, two scenes. Quiet at the registry,
loud at the celebration that followed.

Amanda and Gabi got married at the registry. Just the two of them, the way they wanted it — the legal part kept simple.

Later that same day, they gathered everyone who matters. Friends from different chapters of their lives, all in one room. Tables full of food and drinks. Music that meant something to them. Long hugs. Toasts that turned into stories.

They asked me in for the celebration. Photograph what happens, they said. We already have the rings. We need the people.

What I love about photographing a celebration like this — there's no nervousness left. The legal part is done. Amanda and Gabi already know they're married. The room is the rest of the world celebrating with them.

Result · A reel of laughs, real tears at the toasts

I'd been a fan of Anna's work for years — to the point that we knew we wanted her to photograph our wedding before we even set a date.

What I take from this day

That the legal part doesn't need a camera and the celebration absolutely does. That photographing a couple who's already officially married gives the room a different kind of joy — there's no schedule to keep, no waiting for a moment, just people showing up to celebrate something already done.

Amanda, Gabi — thank you for trusting me with the loud half of the day. It was a privilege.

I love photographing the party after the paper. If you're planning something intimate, with the people you actually want there — let's talk.
