An intimate celebration in the Minho
Family heirlooms, a village church and the quiet power of photographing a wedding in the house where the bride grew up.
Some weddings are about a place you chose. Others are about a place that chose you. Beatriz got married in the house where her grandmother was born.
The red shawl on the steps is a piece of traditional Minho embroidery that has been in her family for three generations. We made sure it appeared in the first photograph of them as a married couple.
Details like this are why I ask so many questions before the wedding. The most important objects of the day are rarely on the timeline.
