Two Brazilians who met in Dublin. Had their kids in Rio. Live in Portugal now. They came back to the city — and to the very house — where the story started.

— ensaio n°04 ✦

Fifteen years. Three countries.
The same garden where it started.

Priscilla is from Minas Gerais. Vinicius is from Salvador. They met in Dublin when they were both very young — she was living and working with a family here, he had just arrived. They stayed together. They built a life.

They moved to Rio de Janeiro and had two children there. Then to Portugal, where they live now. But the gratitude for Ireland never went away — it shows up in every conversation, every plan, every but Dublin, though.

When they decided to mark fifteen years of marriage, there was only one place they considered. The garden of the very house in Dublin where Priscilla had lived back then. The same trees, the same wall, the same light.

The ceremony was Celtic. Hands tied with a ribbon, words about staying. Their two kids ran around the whole time — full energy, full chaos, full participation in their own way. Less ceremony-quiet, more renewal-with-life-happening-around-it.

There's a kind of love that doesn't need to prove itself anymore. It just needs to be marked, every few years, in a place that knows the story.

What I take from this day

That some love stories travel — and the places that watched them grow stay with the couple even when the address changes. That marking fifteen years in the same garden where the story began isn't symbolic, it's accurate. That photographing a family with everything happening all at once — kids running, dogs barking, ribbons, hugs — is a very particular kind of joy.

Priscilla, Vinicius — thank you for bringing me into a story that already had its own gravity. Cheering for the twentieth.
